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 ] Mrs [Social Worker 1], delegate of the Director of Youth Protection A submits to the Court a motion for revision of the judgment rendered by Honourable Judge Jacques Ladouceur last October 4, 2016 concerning the situation of X, born on [...], 2001. [ 2 ] The applicant asks for the placement of the youth in a reception centre for six months with integration in a foster home where she will reside for another period of six months. [ 3 ] At the hearing, the youth is present, assisted by Me Yan Massé.

The parents are absent, but they are represented by Me Michel Grenier. Me Camille Champeval assists the applicant. [ 4 ] Even if the parents are absent, considering that they met previously with Me Grenier and had to leave for medical urgency for their son and considering the youth’s agreement, the Court accepts to proceed. [ 5 ] All the new facts alleged in support of the motion are admitted by the parties. A revision report is filed and the youth and the social worker testify. [ 6 ] It is proved by preponderant evidence : 6.1. The youth’s parents consume alcohol and drugs; 6.2.

The mother collaborates well with the social worker; 6.3. The youth does not want to go back to the care of her parents because of the presence of her oldest brother and his mental illness schizophrenia; 6.4. The youth’s behaviour is deteriorating in foster families; 6.5. She does not respect any authority and consumes alcohol and marijuana on regular basis; 6.6. She does not attend school; 6.7. On April 22, 2017, immediate protective measures were taken and the youth was placed at the group home.

After 48 hours, she was reintegrated to the foster family as she undertook to respect the rules of the foster parents; 6.8. But on May 21, 2017, she got intoxicated with alcohol and slashed her wrists;

6.9. She was transferred to the Chibougamau hospital and required a blood transfusion; 6.10. Discharged from the hospital on May 23, she was placed at the reception centre; 6.11. She was evaluated by a psychiatrist on June 20 and the assessment report is still pending; [ 7 ] Being involved in the youth’s situation since December 2015, the Director of Youth Protection considers that her situation has not improved and her behavioural problems increase.

She still reacts to her brother’s situation and the fact that her parents are really involved in his situation and have less time for her. [ 8 ] Considering the evidence; [ 9 ] Considering the agreement of the parties; THE COURT: [ 10 ] GRANTS the motion; [ 11 ] DECLARES that the security and development of X are still in danger; [ 12 ] ORDERS the placement of X in a reception centre for a period of six months followed by a placement in a foster family for six months; [ 13 ] ORDERS the Director of Youth Protection to provide all the medical, psychiatrist and psychological services she might need for the duration required by the specialists; [ 14 ] ORDERS the Director of Youth Protection to supervise the visits of the youth with her parents (frequency and modalities); [ 15 ] ORDERS the Director of Youth Protection to provide aid, counselling and assistance to the youth and her parents for one year; [ 16 ] ORDERS any police officer to collaborate in the execution of the present judgment; [ 17 ] ENTRUSTS the youth's situation to the Director of Youth Protection for the purpose of executing this judgment. __________________________________ DENYSE LEDUC, J.C.Q.
