Matter of Rebecca

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Dec 22, 1995
222 A.D.2d 1092 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

December 22, 1995

Appeal from the Onondaga County Family Court, Paris, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Fallon, Callahan and Doerr, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: The record supports Family Court's determination that the children were permanently neglected by respondent, based upon respondent's failure to plan for their future (see, Social Services Law § 384-b [a]; Matter of Star Leslie W., 63 N.Y.2d 136). Although respondent regularly and actively participated in the services offered by petitioner, she remained unable to address the sexual abuse that led to the removal of the children from her home (see, Matter of Tammy B., 185 A.D.2d 881, 883, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 702; Matter of Travis Lee G., 169 A.D.2d 769, 770). Because she failed to make any progress in overcoming the problems that initially endangered the children and continued to prevent their safe return, the court properly found that respondent was unable to make an adequate plan for her children's future (see, Matter of Kenneth A., 206 A.D.2d 602; Matter of Tammy B., supra; Matter of Crystal Q., 173 A.D.2d 912, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 855; Matter of Travis Lee G., supra).
