The Children and Family Services for York Region brought a Protection Application and urgent motion, leading to a Temporary Care and Custody Hearing for two children.
The Society sought to place the children with the father for six months, but the court declined, instead maintaining the children in the Society's care via a new order, which the parents consented to.
The judge criticized the Society's delay in commencing the Protection Application, highlighting the importance of timely judicial oversight and access to legal representation for parents.
