Child's future hangs in balance amid family struggles
During a recent court session, discussions centered on the welfare of a 16-year-old child currently placed under guardianship. The court heard from a representative, Miss McVeigh, who reported on the family's challenges, including significant transitions and mental health issues faced by both parents. These difficulties have hindered the family's participation in support services, leading to a referral being closed due to non-participation.

The court was informed that the child wishes to remain in her current placement, which has become a stable environment amid her parents' struggles, including a dire situation where they were on the verge of living in their car. The plan is to maintain her guardianship in this home, although concerns were raised regarding the lack of a private bedroom for the child.

The court also addressed the importance of facilitating visits between the child and her parents while enforcing a no-contact order with an individual named Mason. The representative indicated that the continuation of these visits would depend on the court's directives.

The session concluded with the court admitting the report and its attachments without objection, underscoring the ongoing efforts to support the child's best interests amid her family's challenges.
