Appeal from the Wayne County Family Court, Strobridge, J.
Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Fallon, Doerr and Davis, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: The period set forth in the petition was sufficiently specific to permit respondent to prepare a defense (see, People v. Watt, 81 N.Y.2d 772, 774; People v. Morris, 61 N.Y.2d 290, 295). We reject the contention that the court erred in denying respondent's motion to suppress his oral and written statements to the police. "[M]uch weight must be accorded the determination of the suppression court with its peculiar advantages of having seen and heard the witnesses" (People v. Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759, 761). The record supports Family Court's finding that respondent's statements were voluntarily made (see, Family Ct Act § 344.2; Matter of Wilinston BB., 175 A.D.2d 322, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 858). The court's finding that respondent committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would constitute sodomy in the first degree and sexual abuse in the first degree, is supported by legally sufficient evidence and is not contrary to the weight of the evidence (see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490).
