February 20 – Children Not to be in Limbo

“In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it must be assumed that the Society is properly exercising its statutory duty and acting in the best interest of the child.  Time is an important consideration in the Child and Family Services Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.11 and a child is not to be kept in limbo while a parent having difficulties attempts to straighten out her life.”
