Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the withdrawal of the mother's right to determine the child's residence and the resulting placement were lawful under child protection law.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The child was seriously endangered, and the danger could not be averted by less intrusive measures; the placement order was therefore justified.
Motivazione estratta
The court relied on the expert report and the later deterioration of the mother's mental health. Prior ambulatory and supportive measures had failed or could not be implemented. Given the child's own developmental difficulties, remaining with the mother had become a substantial risk to his welfare.
