Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily in confirming the foster placement and rejecting further evidence on the child’s situation.
Solution extraite
No. The Federal Court held that the expert report made the foster placement necessary and that the challenged findings did not render the decision untenable.
Motifs extraits
In child-protection matters, the child’s welfare is decisive and the court relied on a comprehensive psychiatric report showing severe developmental harm and that a mother-child institution was no viable alternative.
