Opinion
January 25, 1993
Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Palmer, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
There was ample evidence to support the Family Court's determination that the appellant neglected her three children. Medical records indicated that the appellant failed to obtain treatment for one of her children's sprained and swollen leg (see, Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [A]). The assigned caseworker testified that the appellant admitted that she regularly used crack cocaine (see, Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [B]). Further, the caseworker testified as to the deplorable conditions at the appellant's apartment, which included exposed electric wires, seeping rainwater, broken windows, lack of lighting, and ankle-deep garbage (see, Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [A]). Lastly, the caseworker testified as to the lack of care provided for the children (see, Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [A]). Specifically, the caseworker observed that the children were wearing filthy and ill-fitting clothing, had not bathed, and smelled of urine (see also, Matter of Joey T., 185 A.D.2d 851; Matter of Scott X., 184 A.D.2d 866; Matter of C. Children, 183 A.D.2d 767).
We find no merit to the appellant's contention that she was not afforded effective assistance of counsel (see, Matter of Erin G., 139 A.D.2d 737).
We have examined the appellant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Balletta, Ritter and Santucci, JJ., concur.
