Protection de la jeunesse — 132348 2013 QCCQ 7554 COURT OF QUÉBEC CANADA PROVINCE OF QUÉBEC DISTRICT OF [...] TOWN OF [...] Youth Division No: 640-41-000615-036 DATE: April 29, 2013 ______________________________________________________________________ BY THE HONOURABLE JEAN-PIERRE GERVAIS, J.C.Q. ______________________________________________________________________ [SOCIAL WORKER 1], youth protection worker, duly authorized by the Director of Youth Protection A C.Y.P.C., working in City A Applicant and X, born on […], 1996 Adolescent and A Father ______________________________________________________________________ JUDGMENT ______________________________________________________________________ [ 1 ] The applicant addressed the Court, asking for a review of the decision rendered on June 5, 2012 by the Honourable Renée Lemoine, J.C.Q. [ 2 ] At the hearing, the parties announced that the endangerment and the measures proposed by the Director of Youth Protection were uncontested. [ 3 ] From the admissions made and the evidence filed, the Court notes essentially the following. [ 4 ] The adolescent, now 16 years old, is grappling with certain behaviour problems that led to her placement in a rehabilitation centre until January 2013. [ 5 ] As her mother is deceased and her father has been absent from her life for several years, her grandmother has taken on responsibility for the adolescent. [ 6 ] Despite certain improvements in behaviour, the situation remains fragile, so that some vigilance is necessary. [ 7 ] In fact, in fall 2012, besides having behaved aggressively, the young girl began using intoxicants to a degree that necessitated police intervention. [ 8 ] As mentioned above, the situation seems to be returning to normal, but adequate supervision is still necesary. [ 9 ] Since January 8, 2013, the adolescent has been back with her grandmother, and all seems to be going satisfactorily. [ 10 ] So, with the cooperation of the adolescent and her grandmother, the presence of the youth protection authorities should be maintained, while leaving X in her home environment. [ 11 ] FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT: [ 12 ] GRANTS the motion; [ 13 ] DECLARES that the security and development of X, born on […], 1996, are still in danger; [ 14 ] ENTRUSTS X to her grandmother until she reaches the age of majority; [ 15 ] ORDERS that the adolescent, X, and her maternal grandmother receive all the professional help required by the situation; [ 16 ] ORDERS the grandmother and the adolescent to collaborate with the Director of Youth Protection;

[ 17 ] MAINTAINS all the measures ordered previously, except if obsolete. __________________________________ JEAN-PIERRE GERVAIS, J.C.Q.
