What is the test for placing a child in the extended society care of the society?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jewish Family and Child Service of Greater Toronto v. K.B., 2018 ONCJ 650 (CanLII):
[96] An order placing a child in the extended society care of the society is the most profound order that a court can make. To take someone’s children from them is a power that a judge must exercise only with the highest degree of caution, and only on the basis of compelling evidence, and only after a careful examination of possible alternative remedies. See: Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton- Wentworth v. G. (J) (1997) 23 R.F.L. 4th 79 (SCJ- Family Branch).
