[1] The credible evidence supports the determination that the mother placed the children at imminent risk of impairment of their physical, mental, or emotional health (see Nicholson v. Scoppetta, 3 N.Y.3d 357, 368-369, 787 N.Y.S.2d 196, 820 N.E.2d 840 [2004]; Family Ct Act §§ 1012, 1046). The mother’s unspecified, untreated mental illness manifested in her belief that the very young children were being inappropriately touched/sexually abused by strangers, subjecting them to evaluations and examinations by medical professionals, child protective services, and police officers (see Matter of N.A.S. [V.H.], 217 A.D.3d 485, 486, 190 N.Y.S.3d 64 [1st Dept. 2023]; Matter of Lanelis V. [Daisy C.], 102 A.D.3d 441, 441-442, 956 N.Y.S.2d 881 [1st Dept. 2013]). There is no reason to disturb the court’s credibility findings, which are entitled to deference (see Matter of Irene O., 38 N.Y.2d 776, 778, 381 N.Y.S.2d 865, 345 N.E.2d 337 [1975]; Matter of Moises G. [Luis G.], 135 A.D.3d 527, 527-528, 24 N.Y.S.3d 239 [1st Dept. 2016]).
