Protection de la jeunesse — 196178 2019 QCCQ 17807 COURT OF QUÉBEC CANADA PROVINCE OF QUÉBEC DISTRICT OF […] COMMUNITY OF […] Youth Division No: 614-41-000340-184 DATE: May 23, 2019 ______________________________________________________________________ BY THE HONOURABLE DENYSE LEDUC, J.C.Q. ______________________________________________________________________ [SOCIAL WORKER 1], youth protection worker, duly authorized by the Director of Youth Protection A Applicant and X, born on […], 2002 Youth and A, residing and domiciled at […] Mother ______________________________________________________________________ JUDGMENT (sections 95 of the Youth Protection Act ) ______________________________________________________________________ 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 A (the Director) asks the Court to review the measures previously ordered on July 25, 2018. He asks that the youth remains with her mother with social follow-up and specialised services. [ 2 ] The youth and her mother are present at the hearing, assisted by Me Antoine Meunier and Me Michel Grenier.

Me Adelia Ferreira represents the petitioner. [ 3 ] The parties admit all the allegations and agree with the recommendations enumerated in the revision report filed. [ 4 ] Following the last judgment, the youth spent seven months at the reception centre and attended a treatment program at [Organism A] in [the Region A]. Unfortunately, it was impossible for her to adapt to the surroundings due to the cultural shock. She also misbehaves there.

She came back and return with her mother. [ 5 ] Before attending that centre, the youth went to [Organism B] but she remained there only one day because she made threats and walked out in the middle of the night. [ 6 ] The mother’s situation improved. She still needs support to impose structures to the youth. She now imposes rules and is also able to make them respected. The youth, even if she did not succeed her therapy, agrees now to work on herself and seek services in her community.

Only one incident involving alcohol consumption occurred since her return home and it was when the mother was in City A for medical issue. The youth really wants to stay with her mother and have a better relationship with her. [ 7 ] The social worker believes that X may stay with her mother as long as she respects her rules, meets with a psychologist, meets with the social worker and attends all medical appointments required. The youth agrees with all those conditions. The mother believes that she can manage the youth with those services.

CONSEQUENTLY, THE COURT: [ 8 ] GRANTS the motion; [ 9 ] DECLARES that the security and development of X are still in danger; [ 10 ] ENTRUSTS the youth to her mother; [ 11 ] RECOMMENDS that the youth and her mother meet with a psychologist and to follow all the recommendations of the professional;

[ 12 ] ORDERS the youth to attend all medical appointments required for her diabetes; [ 13 ] ORDERS the Director to provide aid, counsel and assistance to the youth and her mother for one year; [ 14 ] ORDERS the youth and her mother to collaborate actively with the social worker; [ 15 ] ORDERS that the Director be authorised to obtain and share information with service providers working for the youth and the mother; [ 16 ] ENTRUSTS the situation of the youth to the Director who shall then see that the measures are carried out.
