[ 2 ] Since the last court order, the child has remained in his father's care. Since then, the mother has maintained regular contacts with her son. Since July 4 th , 2011, the contacts between mother and the child have been increased to minimally three times weekly and now include sleepovers. [ 3 ] The parents have offered a good collaboration with the youth protection director. Also, the relationship between the mother and the father appears to be more harmonious than in the past.

They have expressed their desire to attend conjugal therapy with center A in order, maybe, to return living together. [ 4 ] The mother continues her follow up at center A and is still sober. [ 5 ] Both parents are able to answer the basic needs of their son and they agree that the child could live with his mother. In fact, the child is full time with his mother since August 10, 2011. [ 6 ] The Court is convinced that the security and development of the child are still in danger because of a situation of serious risk of neglect because of the drug addiction of the mother.

The recommendations of the youth protection director are appropriate and in the interest of the child. [ 7 ] Considering the admissions and after the reading of the report, the Court is satisfied and therefore: [ 8 ] MAINTAINS the present motions; [ 9 ] DECLARES that the security and development of the child X are still in danger; [ 10 ] EXTENDS the Court order rendered on July 4 th , 2011; [ 11 ] ENTRUSTS the situation of the child X to the youth protection director of Les Centres jeunesse A for the execution of the measures for a period of nine months : [ 12 ] ORDERS that the child remains with his parents and ORDERS that the parents report periodically to the youth protection director on the measures they apply in their own regard or their child's regard to put an end at the situation in which the security or development of the child is in danger; [ 13 ] TAKES ACT that the child resides principally with his mother; [ 14 ] ORDERS that aid, counsel and assistance be provided to the child and his family; [ 15 ] ORDERS that the parents take an active
