The father and paternal grandparents appealed a trial decision granting Crown wardship of four children without access.
The children had been apprehended due to the parents' substance abuse and domestic violence, and the grandparents were unable to care for them due to their high needs.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's conclusion that the parents and grandparents were incapable of providing adequate care and that an access order would impair the children's opportunities for a permanent placement.
