Family Law

REPORT OF INADEQUATE GUARDIANSHIP MAINTAINED BY THE CENTRAL REGISTER OF CHILD ABUSE AND MALTREATMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AMENDED TO BE UNFOUNDED AND EXPUNGED.

The Third Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Garry, determined petitioner-mother’s application to have a report maintained by the Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment amended to be unfounded and expunged should have been granted. The finding of inadequate guardianship was based on two incidents where the petitioner was abused by her paramour in the presence of a child. Three days after the latest incident petitioner reported the abuse to the police and the paramour was taken into custody. The Third Department held that, under the circumstances of the abuse targeting petitioner, petitioner acted reasonably to protect her children:

… [A]ddressing petitioner’s brief delay in reporting the abuse, it is well recognized that the most dangerous time in an abusive relationship occurs when the victim attempts to separate from the abuser … . * * * A finding that petitioner failed to exercise a minimum degree of care cannot be supported where the record reveals that she acted reasonably under the circumstances and thoughtfully planned a strategy to report her paramour’s abuse in such a way as to protect her own safety and that of her children … . * * *

…[W]e find no basis in the record to support respondent’s finding that petitioner’s actions resulted in impairment or immediate danger to the children. A finding of impairment “requires proof of actual (or imminent danger of) physical, emotional or mental impairment to the child” … . An immediate danger must be “near or impending” and more than “merely possible” … . Although the record supports a finding that the youngest child was placed in immediate danger during both incidents and that the eldest child suffered emotional impairment after witnessing the second incident, neither the danger nor the impairment were the consequence of petitioner’s actions. As a result of petitioner’s actions shortly thereafter, the paramour was incarcerated and an order of protection was issued; these circumstances continued through the time of the hearing. Matter of Elizabeth B. v New York State Off. of Children & Family Servs., 2017 NY Slip Op 01424, 3rd Dept 2-23-17
