The applicant sought Crown wardship for five children who had been apprehended due to domestic violence and physical discipline.
The mother, a victim of domestic violence, consented to Crown wardship with access, recognizing her limitations in caring for the children.
The father sought the return of the children to his care.
The court found that the father had not sufficiently addressed his emotionally and physically abusive parenting style and posed a risk of harm to the children.
The court ordered that the four youngest children be made Crown wards with access, while the oldest child remain in the father's care subject to supervision.
