[ 1 ] The Director of Youth Protection applied for the extension of a decision under s. 95 of the Youth Protection Act , [1] rendered on February 21, 2018, by the Honourable Jean Gravel, J.C.Q.

At that time, he declared that the security and development of X were in danger and entrusted him to an institution operating a rehabilitation centre with reintegration in a foster family. [ 2 ] At the hearing, the mother was present and assisted by counsel. X was also present, but was authorized to wait outside while his counsel represented him. He was, however present for the decision. Facts: [ 3 ] All the facts were admitted by the mother. X also admitted some facts. [ 4 ] The mother does not have a stable house to live in and moves often. On several occasions, she asked Youth Protection for help to buy food.
