Opinion
October 23, 1995
Appeal from the Family Court, Suffolk County (Kent, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the father's contention, the Family Court's determination that the father had neglected his son is supported by a preponderance of the credible evidence (see, Family Ct Act § 1046 [b] [i]). The evidence establishes that the child was injured as a result of excessive corporal punishment by the father (see, Matter of J. Children, 216 A.D.2d 159; Matter of Suffolk County Dept. of Social Servs. [Joseph P.], 215 A.D.2d 486; Matter of Norland B., 191 A.D.2d 632).
We have reviewed the father's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Balletta, J.P., Thompson, Ritter and Florio, JJ., concur.
