[ 2 ] On September 6, 2012, the Court declares that the security and development of this adolescent are still considered to be in danger and orders that, after being released from the rehabilitation center as of October 15, 2012, she be entrusted to a foster family with supportive measures until her majority for the reasons enunciated in the judgment. [ 3 ] The petition is based on the following assertions and facts :

a) on September 11, 2012, five days after Court, she ran away from rehabilitation center where she was entrusted until October 15, 2012 ;

b) she was found the same day, under the influence with four pills of a generic of Seroquel on her ;

They admit the situation described in the petition and the reports and accepts the recommendations of the Director of youth protection. [ 5 ] The father is absent at the hearing as well as in his daughter's life.

He however sent a short notice in which he writes that he consents to what is best for his daughter. [ 6 ] The Court studied the psychosocial report, the report of an educator ( A unit) as well as a copy of the decision justifying her placement in an intensive supervision unit. [ 7 ] The evidence reveals that X 's behavior strongly suggests her non-desire of integrating a foster family and her incapacity to deal with her issues, namely addiction.
