Matter of Naeemah M. 2007 NY Slip Op 06113 [42 AD3d 501] July 17, 2007 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, September 12, 2007

In the Matter of Naeemah M., a Child Alleged to be Abused and Neglected. Administration for Children's Services, Respondent; Antoinette P. et al., Appellants.

—[*1] Michael A. Fiechter, Bellmore, N.Y., for appellant Antoinette P.

Mark Diamond, New York, N.Y., for appellant Clifford P.

Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York, N.Y. (Kristin M. Helmers and Ann E. Scherzer of counsel), for respondent.

Steven Banks, New York, N.Y. (Tamara A. Steckler and Clarie V. Merkine of counsel), Law Guardian. In a child protective proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, the mother, Antoinette P., and Clifford P., a person legally responsible for the care of the subject child, separately appeal from a fact-finding order of the Family Court, Kings County (Elkins, J.), dated April 28, 2006, which, after a hearing, found that they abused the subject child.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court's finding that the subject child is an abused child is supported by a preponderance of the evidence at the hearing (see Family Court Act § 1012 [e] [i]; § 1046 [a] [vi]; [b] [i]; Matter of Maithsa Edourd S., 27 AD3d 475 [2006]; Matter of Eli G., 189 AD2d 764, 764-765 [1993]; Matter of C. Children, 183 AD2d 767 [1992]).

The mother's remaining contention is without merit. Rivera, J.P., Krausman, Skelos and Balkin, JJ., concur.
