What is the history of child protection decisions and assessments of a mother's mental health and personality issues?

These decisions and the assessments chronicle a history of pervasive concerns with respect to the mother’s capacity to provide appropriate care for her children, arising in part from long standing behavioral problems associated with mental health and personality issues, her struggles with self-esteem and her longstanding inability to demonstrate any insight into her deficits such that changes could be made. The past decisions detail a number of significant risk concerns about the mother’s parenting capacity, including the making of poor choices in managing children’s behaviours, her inability to understand and meet the emotional needs of her children due to her own untreated mental health issues. I consider the materials relevant for the purpose of providing a reliable backdrop against which to measure the extent to which the mother’s abilities have changed (See: Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton v. T.B. (mother) and B.S. (father), 2013 ONSC 6300).
