P-34.1 ) ______________________________________________________________________ I - INTRODUCTION [ 1 ] The Director of Youth Protection demands the extension of the decision rendered on December 15, 2009, concerning X, born on […], 1994. [ 2 ] The parents and their daughter are present and represented. II - ISSUE TO RESOLVE [ 3 ] The parents admit each allegation of the petition and consent to the extension of the foster care of their daughter in a rehabilitation centre, for a period of six months.

The teenager admits the most serious allegations and does not consent to the extension recommended by the Director of Youth Protection. She does not propose any alternative solution and does not wish to testify. III - ANALYSIS OF THE FACTS AND DECISION [ 4 ] On December 15, 2009, the Court maintained that the security and development of the teenager were still and danger and specified that she manifested serious behavioural problems.

Consequently, with the evidence tendered, a foster care measure in a rehabilitation centre for a period of four months was ordered. [ 5 ] The documentary evidence tendered convinces the Court that the extension of the decision is the most appropriate measure. Indeed, the teenager has improved her behaviour, but she is still in need of services to not only correct her behaviour, but also to address issues relating to self-esteem, distress and suicidal thoughts. [ 6 ] The parents are not taking the necessary steps to maintain their sobriety and expose themselves to relapses.

Their way of life has dramatically improved over the past months and they should continue to attend Alcoholics Anonymous ( A .A.) meetings and counselling. [ 7 ] The Director of Youth Protection recommends an extension of 6 months and the evidence tendered supports the length. [ 8 ] FOR THESE MOTIVES, THE COURT: [ 9 ] GRANTS the demand;

[ 10 ] MAINTAINS the security and development of the youth in danger; [ 11 ] EXTENDS in the following manner, the decision rendered on December 15, 2009:

a) the foster care of the child in a rehabilitation centre for a period of six (6) months, starting on April 13, 2009;

b) that a person working for an establishment or organism provide aid, counsel and assistance to the parents and their daughter during the foster care measure;

c) that the parents and the teenager participate and collaborate in the measures proposed to correct the situation; [ 12 ] ORDERS any police officer to collaborate in the execution of the foster care measure, if requested to do so, by the Director of Youth Protection; [ 13 ] ENTRUTS the situation of the youth, to the Director of Youth Protection, for the purpose of executing the measures ordered by the Court. __________________________________ DANIEL BÉDARD, J.C.Q.
