P-34.1 R.S.Q. ) ______________________________________________________________________ [ 1 ] Mr [Social Worker 1], delegate of the Director of Youth Protection A, asks the Court to review the decision rendered on June 14, 2011 by Honourable Judge Daniel Bédard ordering the placement of X in a foster family until her majority. He asks for a six-month placement in a reception centre because of her behavioural problems. [ 2 ] At the hearing, the youth is present, represented by Me Michel Solomon. Me Sarah Plamondon represents the absent mother and Me Angela Tommasel the absent father.

Both parents are detained. [ 3 ] The evidence of new facts in support of the revision is based on admissions made by the parties, the testimony of the social worker and his revision report. All the parties agree with the measures recommended. [ 4 ] The youth's parents are separated. The mother displays alcohol related problems. The father was released from detention centre on May 24, 2012 and is living in Town B. [ 5 ] This year, the youth displays behaviour problems such as : suicidal ideations, consumption of drugs, no regular attendance at school and running away.

The youth does not want to live with her grandmother anymore. She ran away from foster family on June 2, 2012. Brought to the hospital on the same day, she was displaying suicidal ideations. She was discharged from the hospital on June 7 and placed at the group home of Town A. She also ran away from there. She was provisionally placed with her paternal grandparents on July 19 and ran away on July 31. On August 2, the paternal grandmother informed the social worker that she does not want to take care of her anymore.

Then, she was placed in a foster family, from where she ran away for three days. [ 6 ] The youth must learn to respect authority. She is used to behave freely and used to do what pleases her. She has to learn how to behave as a 13 years old teen and respect the decisions of adults who care for her.

The impact of her parents' separation is also quite apparent and would require psychological assessment and follow up if recommended. [ 7 ] CONSENQUENTLY, THE COURT : [ 8 ] GRANTS the petition; [ 9 ] MAINTAINS that the security and development of X are still in danger; [ 10 ] ORDERS the placement of X in a reception centre for a period of six months with reintegration in a foster family where she will reside until her majority;
