Section 38 Youth Protection Act , R.S.Q. c. P-34.1) ______________________________________________________________________ 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 submits that the security and development of the children, X and Y, are in danger. [ 2 ] The mother of the two children is Ms A.

She signed a document which was deposited in Court saying that she could not come to Court on May 4 th 2016 for medical reasons and that she agreed with the proposed measures made by the Director. [ 3 ] The two adolescents were present in Court and assisted by a lawyer.

Y will be an adult next November and X will be 18 in January 2018. [ 4 ] They both admit most of the alleged facts and agree to stay in foster care until their mother regains enough stability to exercise her full parental role. [ 5 ] The two actual foster families signed a document in which they engage themselves towards the boys until they reach majority. [ 6 ] The mother had problems with her alcohol intake and her housing stability in 2014.

She has signed voluntary agreements with the Director since 2011. [ 7 ] The boys say that the mother has stabilized her alcohol intake but is still not well organized to care for them on a daily basis. [ 8 ] They both live in the same community and have regular contacts with their mother. [ 9 ] They are regularly going to school which is a good sign of the stability they have gained in the last years.

FOR ALL THESE REASONS, THE COURT: [ 10 ] GRANTS the motion; [ 11 ] DECLARES that the security and development of the children, X and Y, are in danger; [ 12 ] ORDERS that the children be entrusted to a foster family chosen by the institution operating a child and youth protection centre; [ 13 ] ORDERS that the children and the mother take an active
