===Protection concerns===
What will trigger cause the MCFD or an Indigenous authority to determine that decide a child needs protection? Section 13 of the ''CFCSA'' contains the specific language, but essentially a child will be deemed to specifies situations of concern. Children require protection if the child has they have been or may be:
* physically harmed by a parent
* sexually abused or exploited by a parent
* the child is in the care of a director or someone else by agreement, and the parent won't or can't resume care when the agreement ends
Section 13 of the ''CFCSA '' also clarifies that:
* sexual abuse or exploitation includes being encouraged or coerced into prostitution
* situations with domestic violence increases the likelihood of physical harm increases when to the child is living in a situation with domestic violence
* emotional harm means the child shows severe anxiety, depression, withdrawal, self-destructive or aggressive behaviour
* A a child does not need protection solely due to socioeconomic conditions like poverty, lack of housing, or a parent's health condition.
