Protection de la jeunesse — 117043 2011 QCCQ 17909 JC1649 COURT OF QUÉBEC CANADA PROVINCE OF QUÉBEC DISTRICT OF [...] COMMUNITY [...] « Youth division » N° : 635-41-000415-114 DATE : November 15, 2011 UNDER THE PRESIDENCE OF : HONOURABLE PAUL CHEVALIER, J.C.Q.

In the case of : X ([…] 1998) JUDGMENT ON A MOTION FOR REVISION (Sec. 95(1) Youth Protection Act) [ 1 ] The Director of Youth Protection asks the Court to revise an order May 25, 2011 entrusting the Youth X to a foster family for a period of 6 months. [ 2 ] The youth is doing well in the foster family, his aunt's house, and visits regularly his mother. [ 3 ] The mother, however, continues to consume drugs and alcohol, denies having a problem, refuses the help offered, stating that she will try by herself to quit smoking marihuana and drinking alcohol. [ 4 ] She did not collaborate with the Youth Protection worker and even displayed aggressive behavior towards the worker. [ 5 ] She wants her children back but she must realize that this will occur when she will demonstrate that she can provide a safe environment to her children. [ 6 ] For that demonstration to be made, she will have to collaborate fully with the Youth Protection services and understand that everyone's wish is that the children be together with their mother, but with a mother who can provide a safe and alcohol and drug free environment to her children. [ 7 ] FOR THESE REASONS THE COURT : [ 8 ] GRANTS the motion for revision; [ 9 ] DECLARES that the present situation constitutes new facts; [ 10 ] DECLARES that the security and development of the youth are still compromised; [ 11 ] ORDERS that X remain in a foster home for another 6 months; [ 12 ] ORDERS the mother to collaborate with the C.L.S.C. and the Director of Youth Protection to work on her personal issues and parental skills; [ 13 ] ORDERS that the contacts between the children and their parents be under the general supervision of the Director of Youth Protection;

[ 14 ] STRONGLY recommends that the mother receive a full evaluation by a psychologist and that she follow the recommendations; [ 15 ] ORDERS that a person working for an institution provide aid, counsel and assistance to the youth and his family for a period of one year; [ 16 ] ENTRUSTS the situation of the youth to the Director of Youth Protection for the implementation of this order.
