Protection de la jeunesse — 219263 2021 QCCQ 15715 COURT OF QUEBEC CANADA PROVINCE OF QUEBEC DISTRICT […] TOWN […] Youth Division No: 760-41-006307-204 DATE: November 3, 2021 ______________________________________________________________________ BY THE HONOURABLE BÉATRICE CLÉMENT, J.C.Q. ______________________________________________________________________ X Born: […], 2020 Child ______________________________________________________________________ THE DIRECTOR OF YOUTH PROTECTION A Applicant -and- A B Parents ______________________________________________________________________ JUDGMENT ______________________________________________________________________ WARNING: The Youth Protection Act forbids the publishing or broadcasting of information allowing for a child or the child’s parents to be identified.

Any person who contravenes this provision commits an offence and is liable to a fine (sections 11.2, 11.2.1 and 135 Y.P.A.). [ 1 ] The Director of Youth Protection applies for the revision and extension of the measures put in place in relation to the child being at a serious risk of neglect in relation to her parent’s personal difficulties and dynamic. [ 2 ] The parents as well as the child attorney subscribe to the Director’s evaluation and recommended orientation. [ 3 ] The following elements justify the Court’s decision.

Analysis and decision [ 4 ] The child remains with a kinship foster family since the last order rendered on May 12, 2021, and is evolving well. [ 5 ] Her weekly supervised contacts with her parents are positive. In October 2021, the supervision is lifted by consent of the parties and in view of the positive progression of the situation. The access periods gradually augment. [ 6 ] The child has a significant bond with her parents. [ 7 ] The parents cooperate fully in the services and programs recommended to address their personal difficulties.

They maintain their sobriety and work steadily. [ 8 ] They are now able to focus on their child’s needs and further understand the need to co-parent. In the last months, they are able to come to agreements as to how to share their parental time in order to reflect their various schedules. [ 9 ] As an additional protection factor, both parents can rely on a dedicated support network. [ 10 ] The parties agree that the child can now return to her parent’s care. The next period will serve to accompany the parents in this transition and ensure the child’s continued stability.

FOR ALL THESE REASONS, THE COURT: [ 11 ] GRA NTS the application; [ 12 ] DECLARES that the security and development of the child are still in danger; [ 13 ] REVISES and EXTENDS the judgment rendered on May 12, 2021;

[ 14 ] ENTRUSTS the child to her parents; [ 15 ] ORDERS that the parents take an active

part in the application of the measures ordered; [ 16 ] ORDERS that a person working for an institution or body provide aid, counseling or assistance to the child and her family; [ 17 ] ALL THESE MEASURES for three months; [ 18 ] ENTRUSTS the situa tion of the child to the Director of Youth Protection A for the execution of the present judgement. __________________________________ BÉATRICE CLÉMENT, J.C.Q.
