Protection de la jeunesse — 14401 2014 QCCQ 7477 JT1052 COURT OF QUEBEC CANADA PROVINCE OF QUEBEC DISTRICT OF [...] TOWN OF […] Youth Division No: 550-41-001002-128 DATE: January 29 th , 2014 ______________________________________________________________________ IN THE PRESENCE OF: THE HONOURABLE LOUISE TURPIN, J.C.Q. ______________________________________________________________________ In the case of : X Born on […], 1996 ______________________________________________________________________ JUDGMENT ______________________________________________________________________ [ 1 ] The Court is seized of a petition under

section 95 of the Youth Protection Act. [ 2 ] At the beginning of the hearing, the attorney for the Director of the Youth Protection stated that this petition is based on the following motives: - Although the mother has completed all follow-ups required it is important to update its acknowledgments; - X is currently pregnant and needs the support of her mother; - X and her mother have not lived together for several months and it is important to ensure that the relationship remains healthy and free from violence. [ 3 ] The Court, with the consent of the adolescent attorney, read the report (D-1) filed by M e Sylvain Meunier, attorney for the Director of Youth Protection; [ 4 ] X, wanted to move back with her mother, who as a matter of fact was not in Court. [ 5 ] The Court ordered the suggested measures since we also came to the conclusion that foster care is the most viable option for now. [ 6 ] The mother/daugther relationship is instable, and both of them have a tendency to change their minds very often. [ 7 ] In her report, Ms. [Social Worker 1] has the following comments: «We also believed that helping X to be in an apartment right away is too much of big step, she has specific needs in regards to become autonomous, in addition to learn a new role to be.

That's why we think that a foster home will responds to her different needs and to stabilise her situation. Our goal is not to maintain X in a foster home until her majority but help her toward a transition toward being on her own. X was agreeing with our decision at the meeting. When we met with her again on January 21 th she told us that she did not want to stay in a foster home anymore .» [ 8 ] In short, these recommendations are not only viable, but in X's best interest. THEREFORE THE COURT : GRANTS the petition;

DECLARES that the security and the development of the adolescent is still compromise; REVISES the decision rendered on February 21 st , 2013 by the Honourable Judge Michel Séguin; ORDERS that X remains in foster home for 6 month; ORDERS that X receives all the services required for her health; ORDERS that the child and her mother participate actively with the applied measure in order to ensure that the child's secure and development are no longer compromised; ORDERS that a person authorised by the Director of Youth Protection provides aid, counsel and assistance to the adolescent and her family till her majority on […], 2014; ENTRUSTS the situation of the adolescent to the Director of Youth Protection who shall then see that the measures are carried out. __________________________________ LOUISE TURPIN, J.C.Q.
