Matter of Children

148 A.D.2d 728 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

March 27, 1989

Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Cohen, J.).


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

The mother contends that the evidence of neglect was legally insufficient. We find the contention meritless. Not only did the mother admit to educational neglect, but the Department of Social Services presented evidence that she was unable to properly take care of her children because she failed to regularly take medication which was prescribed to her to treat a mental illness (see, Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i]; § 1046). Moreover, the court's placement of the children was in their best interest (see, Family Ct Act § 1052, 1055). Lawrence, J.P., Rubin, Eiber and Balletta, JJ., concur.
