Protection de la jeunesse — 217191 2021 QCCQ 12968 COURT OF QUÉBEC CANADA PROVINCE OF QUÉBEC DISTRICT OF [...] LOCALITY OF [...] Youth Division No: 614-41-000636-201 DATE: September 29, 2021 ______________________________________________________________________ BY THE HONOURABLE LUCILLE CHABOT, J.C.Q. ______________________________________________________________________ [SOCIAL WORKER 1] Youth Protection Worker, duly authorized by the Director of Youth Protection A Applicant And X, born on [...], 2005 Teenager And A Mother And B Father ______________________________________________________________________ JUDGMENT (Section 95 of the Youth Protection Act, ch.

P-34.1 CQLR ) ______________________________________________________________________ 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 submits an application asking the Court to extend, for a short period of time, a previous judgment rendered on April 22, 2021, by Judge Lucie Godin, J.C.Q., ordering that the youth be placed under the care her aunt C for a period of 8 months. [ 2 ] The mother and X both agree for a reintegration during the three-month placement requested by the Director. [ 3 ] It appears that the maternal aunt reported that it was difficult and challenging to deal with X.

She complains that the youth is a bad influence on her own children. [ 4 ] For several weeks, the aunt left the youth with her mother without informing the Director of Youth Protection. [ 5 ] On July 19, the situation of X was reported to the Director of Youth Protection. The aunt refused to take the youth back to [Community A] and she asked that she be transferred to another place. [ 6 ] The situation of the father remains the same. He hasn’t taken steps in order to solve his personal issues. [ 7 ] The mother took steps in order to solve her problem. She completed a treatment program on September 10.

She is contemplating attending another treatment for grief and abandonment. She is also planning an aftercare program and family counselling for her and her daughters. [ 8 ] The Director of Youth Protection just wants to ensure that the situation will be stable before entrusting the youth back to the care of her mother. [ 9 ] The mother can be proud of her progress. It tells the Court that her children are her priority and that she is willing to continue to work on their well-being. [ 10 ] As for X, she is supposed to attend a three-week program in [Community B] with her sister which is encouraged by the mother.

X has requested herself to participate in such treatment. [ 11 ] X is currently in Secondary IV and she is doing well in school. She does not have problems with alcohol or drugs. [ 12 ] The Court feels that the three-month placement will be a safety net and that the reintegration can begin as soon as possible.

FOR THESE MOTIVES, THE COURT: [ 13 ] GRANTS the application; [ 14 ] MAINTAINS that the security and development of X are still endangered; [ 15 ] ORDERS the placement of X in a foster family for a period of 3 months with a reintegration to the mother’s care as soon as possible; [ 16 ] ORDERS that the mother and daughter engage in an intensive therapy; [ 17 ] ORDERS the mother to follow the recommendations made by the professionals; [ 18 ] ORDERS that contacts between X and her mother be encouraged, supervised by the Director of Youth Protection and that they be as frequent as possible; [ 19 ] ORDERS the mother to be and remain sober when in presence of the youth; [ 20 ] AUTHORIZES the Director of Youth Protection to obtain and share information with all service providers working with the family; [ 21 ] ORDERS that aid, counselling and assistance be provided to the family for a period of 12 months; [ 22 ] ORDERS the mother and the youth to fully collaborate with the execution of the Court orders; [ 23 ] ENTRUSTS the situation of the teenager to the Director of Youth Protection for the execution of the Court orders. __________________________________ LUCILLE CHABOT, J.C.Q.
