Opinion
December 8, 1998
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Mary Bednar, J.).
The abused child's out-of-court statements to the doctor who attended her that respondent had abused her were corroborated by the uncontroverted medical evidence of the child's injuries, injuries that would not ordinarily occur in the absence of abuse and were left unexplained by respondent ( see, Matter of Nicole V., 71 N.Y.2d 112, 118). The abuse was sufficiently proximate in time to the proceeding to support the derivative findings of abuse as to the other children ( see, Matter of Kimberly H., 242 A.D.2d 35). We have considered respondent's other contentions and find them to be unavailing.
