Opinion
March 22, 1993
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Torres, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the mother's contention, we find that the Family Court's order determining her son Norland to be a neglected child was supported by a preponderance of the credible evidence (Family Ct Act § 1046 [b] [i]; Matter of Tammie Z., 66 N.Y.2d 1). The evidence established that Norland was physically injured as a result of excessive corporal punishment inflicted by his stepfather, and that the mother knew or should have known of it (see, Matter of Westchester County Dept. of Social Servs. [Barbara H.], 185 A.D.2d 821; Matter of C. Children, 183 A.D.2d 767). This evidence further supported a finding that Norland's younger sister, Lauren, was likewise a neglected child (Family Ct Act § 1046 [a] [i]; Matter of Jose Y., 177 A.D.2d 580; Matter of Lynelle W., 177 A.D.2d 1008; Matter of P. Children, 172 A.D.2d 839).
We have reviewed the mother's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Eiber and Miller, JJ., concur.
