255 A.D.2d 510 679 N.Y.S.2d 909 In the Matter of A. (Anonymous), Children. Harlem Dowling-Westside Center for Children and Family Services, Respondent; Kim H. (Anonymous), Appellant. 1998-10,446 Supreme Court of New York, Second Department November 23, 1998.
Yasmin Daley Duncan, Brooklyn, for appellant.
Carrieris&s Carrieri, P.C., Mineola, (Ralph R. Carrieri, of counsel), for respondent.
Monica Drinane, New York City (Marcia Egger, of counsel), Law Guardian for the children.
In a proceeding pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b to terminate the parental rights of the mother of three children on the basis of permanent neglect, the mother appeals from three dispositional orders (one as to each child) of the Family Court, Kings County (Ambrosio, J.), each dated March 18, 1997, which, after fact-finding and dispositional hearings, inter alia, terminated her parental rights and committed the custody of the children to the Commissioner of Social Services of the City of New York and to Harlem Dowling-Westside Center for Children and Family Services.
ORDERED that the dispositional orders are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
A suspended judgment may be revoked if the court finds that a preponderance of the evidence adduced at a violation hearing establishes noncompliance with a condition of that judgment (see, Matter of Jennifer VV., 241 A.D.2d 622, 659 N.Y.S.2d 940; Matter of Jennifer T., 224 A.D.2d 843, 843-844, 638 N.Y.S.2d 219; Matter of Joshua Justin T., 208 A.D.2d 469, 617 N.Y.S.2d 326; Matter of Israel R., 200 A.D.2d 498, 606 N.Y.S.2d 639; Matter of Grace Q., 200 A.D.2d 894, 895, 607 N.Y.S.2d 457; Matter of Lawrence Clinton S., 186 A.D.2d 808, 809, 589 N.Y.S.2d 806; Matter of Gerald M., 112 A.D.2d 6, 490 N.Y.S.2d 398). The evidence presented at the hearings supports the Family Court's findings, inter alia, that the mother failed to satisfy certain conditions of the suspended judgments and that the termination of her parental rights was in the best interests of the children (see, Matter of Orange County Dept. of Social Servs. v. Jeanne Z., 209 A.D.2d 703, 619 N.Y.S.2d 676; Matter of Sharena C., 186 A.D.2d 249, 588 N.Y.S.2d 336; Matter of Lawrence Clinton S., supra).
The mother's remaining contention is without merit.
