Key legal question
Whether the KESB’s temporary suspension of the father’s supervised visitation rights was lawful and proportionate.
Extracted holding
Yes. The child’s welfare and safety could no longer be guaranteed in the supervised setting because of the father’s unstable psychiatric condition and escalating incidents.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on consistent reports from the guardian, visit supervisor, police, and clinic showing provocation, aggression, psychosis, and risk of self- and hetero-aggression. Given the child-protection standard, suspension was the mildest effective measure.
