In re Taylor C.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Decided November 1, 2011PublishedCited by 3 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
A preponderance of the evidence supports the finding of neglect (Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [B]; § 1046 [b] [i]). Respondent’s mother testified that she witnessed respondent push the then one-month-old child, causing the child to slide across the *406floor from one room to another. This single incident is sufficient to support a finding of neglect, given that the child’s physical, mental or emotional condition has been impaired or is in imminent risk of being impaired as a result of respondent’s behavior (see Matter of Jared S. [Monet S.], 78 AD3d 536 [2010], lv denied 16 NY3d 705 [2011]).
