Opinion
December 4, 1997
Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (Harold Lynch, J.).
The finding of abuse is supported by the evidence that during a violent quarrel, following a pattern of family violence, appellant recklessly threw a glass object that struck and injured the child, causing a fractured skull and permanent scarring ( see, Matter of Tashyne L., 53 A.D.2d 629, 630). Appellant's contention that the instant proceedings should have been adjourned is unpreserved by any request for such an adjournment after the Family Court was apprised of the status of the criminal case. Were we to reach the merits of the argument, we would find that the court acted properly ( see, Matter of Germaine B., 86 A.D.2d 847, 848).
