Child Protection Law
The Children’s Aid Society is a government agency which is mandated to protect the children of our community from all forms of abuse and neglect.
It is obligated to investigate all reported situations in which a child may be in need of protection. In some instances, that child will be brought to a place of safety by the Children’s Aid Society and placed with kin or in a foster home or a group home. In some instances, the child is returned to the parents or family subject to a supervision order.
In all cases where a child is brought to a place of safety or where the Children’s Aid Society otherwise becomes involved with a family, the parents are entitled to representation in order to effectively resolve the situation.
I represent parents and families where the Children’s Aid Society has become or is threatening to become involved.
