The Children's Aid Society brought a motion for temporary care and custody of a 14-year-old child who had been apprehended from her mother.
The child had a history of self-harm and had been sexually assaulted by a family friend.
The mother struggled with health issues, missed the child's counselling appointments, and failed to provide adequate supervision.
Both the mother and the child sought the child's return home.
The court found that the child could not be adequately protected by a supervision order and ordered that the child remain in the temporary care and custody of the society, with access at the society's discretion.
