What is the test for showing affection between a parent and child?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Halton Children’s Aid Society v. A.W., 2016 ONCJ 358 (CanLII):
[315] More is required than just a display of love or affection between parent and child. This is particularly so where there is evidence of a number of other factors and dynamics respecting the parent which have impacted on the child's emotional health and well-being. Even if there are some positive aspects to the relationship between parent and child, that is not enough - it must be significantly advantageous to the child. See: The Children's Aid Society of Hamilton v. C.H., 2014 ONSC 3731.
