Protection de la jeunesse — 145806 2014 QCCQ 17472 COURT OF QUÉBEC CANADA PROVINCE OF QUÉBEC DISTRICT OF [...] TOWN OF [...] Youth Division No: 145-41-000446-143 DATE: October 29, 2014 ______________________________________________________________________ BY THE HONOURABLE JANICK POIRIER, J.C.Q. ______________________________________________________________________ [SOCIAL WORKER 1] , authorized person by the DIRECTOR OF YOUTH PROTECTION Petitioner and X born on [...] , 1997 Adolescent and A Mother ______________________________________________________________________ JUDGMENT ______________________________________________________________________ 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 (DYP) asks the Court to revise and extend the judgment rendered on April 2, 2014. [ 2 ] At that time, the youth is entrusted to her mother. Among other measures, the youth is forbidden to have contacts with her boyfriend, an adult who copes with personal problems. [ 3 ] Unfortunately, the youth fails to respect the measures put in place in order to help and protect her. [ 4 ] She is still involved in a relationship with Mr. B .

She drinks alcohol and takes drugs, including cocaine at least on one occasion. She leaves home and comes back days later, not informing her mother of her whereabouts. [ 5 ] In August, the youth and her mother leave for a trip to the United States. The youth does very well and they both enjoy their holidays. [ 6 ] However, as soon as they come back home, the youth goes back to her old ways, seeing Mr. B , missing school and leaving home without authorization. [ 7 ] Under those circumstances, the DYP decides to apply urgent protective measures to entrust the youth to a rehabilitation centre.

She remains there, under provisional measures, since September 24. [ 8 ] The youth's behaviour and attitude are excellent at the unit. She complies with rules and shows respect to everyone. She attends school and all her appointments. [ 9 ] It is in the youth's best interest that she remain in a rehabilitation centre for the next months. Hopefully, she will learn to make healthier choices, for the future.

WHEREFORE, THE COURT: [ 10 ] GRANTS the petition of revision and extension of order; [ 11 ] DECLARES that the security and development of X are still considered to be in danger according to

section 38 of the Youth protection act ; [ 12 ] ORDERS that X be entrusted to a rehabilitation center designated by the DYP until [...] , 2015 with a progressive reintegration into the maternal home starting January 1, 2015; [ 13 ] FORBIDS X to have any direct or indirect contact with B ; [ 14 ] RECOMMENDS that X actively participate in follow-up with an addiction counsellor as long as deemed necessary; [ 15 ] ORDERS that X attend school regularly and adhere to all rules of proper conduct; [ 16 ] RECOMMENDS that X and the mother actively participate in psychological counselling to help deal with their personal issues; [ 17 ] ORDERS that the mother and X actively participate in all ordered measures; [ 18 ] ORDERS that a person working for an establishment provide aid, counsels and assistance to X and her family until [...] , 2015; [ 19 ] ENTRUSTS the situation of X to the DYP of the Centre Jeunesse A for the carrying out of the judgment. __________________________________ JANICK POIRIER, J.C.Q.
