Opinion
June 8, 2001.
(Appeal from Order of Erie County Family Court, Townsend, J. — Neglect.)
PRESENT: PIGOTT, JR., P.J., WISNER, HURLBUTT, KEHOE AND BURNS, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum:
In this proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, respondent appeals from orders of fact-finding and disposition adjudging that respondent had neglected her three children. Contrary to respondent's contention, the children's hearsay statements were adequately corroborated and thus constitute sufficient evidence to support the findings of neglect ( see, Family Ct Act § 1046 [a] [vi]). By failing to request that Family Court draw an adverse inference based on petitioner's failure to call certain witnesses, respondent failed to preserve for our review her present contention that the court erred in failing to do so ( see generally, Williams v. State of New York, 254 A.D.2d 749; Rochester Gas Elec. Corp. v State of New York, 225 A.D.2d 1047, 1048).
