Matter of Sharena

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 28, 1992
186 A.D.2d 249 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

September 28, 1992

Appeal from the Family Court, Rockland County (Stanger, J.).


Ordered that the orders are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The instant proceedings were initially commenced in or about July 1986. On September 1, 1987, in open court, the mother made a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary admission that she had permanently neglected her children, who are the subjects of these proceedings. Upon the mother's voluntary admissions, the court issued a suspended judgment requiring her to comply with various conditions as enumerated in 22 NYCRR 205.50 (see, Family Ct Act § 633). On or about February 22, 1988, a further petition was filed alleging that the mother had violated many of the conditions of the suspended judgment. Following a fact-finding hearing, the court found that the mother had violated the conditions of the suspended judgment and terminated her parental rights. We affirm.

The mother's knowing and voluntary admissions to the allegations in the original permanent neglect petitions satisfied the burden of proof necessary for the court's finding of permanent neglect (see, Family Ct Act § 622; Matter of Debra Ann D., 133 A.D.2d 83, 84). In addition, the evidence presented at the hearing supports the court's finding that the mother violated the terms and conditions of the suspended judgment issued at the time of her admissions (see, Family Ct Act § 633; 22 NYCRR 205.50).

We have considered the mother's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, Ritter and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
