MOTHER’S MENTAL ILLNESS SUPPORTED NEGLECT FINDING (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined that mother's mental illness supported the neglect finding and an order requiring mother to cooperate with medication management by her mental health service providers:

Mental illness means “an affliction with a mental disease or mental condition which is manifested by a disorder or disturbance in behavior, feeling, thinking or judgment to such an extent that if such child were placed in or returned to the custody of the parent, the child would be in danger of becoming a neglected child as defined in the family court act” (Social Services Law § 384-b[6][a]). “While parental neglect may be based on mental illness, proof of a parent's mental illness alone will not support a finding of neglect”… . Rather, the petitioner must adduce evidence sufficient to “establish a causal connection between the parent's condition, and actual or potential harm to the [child]” … .

… [T]the mother's contention that the Family Court acted in excess of its jurisdiction or violated her constitutional right to direct her own medical treatment when it directed that she comply with medication management recommended by her mental health service providers is without merit, since the court did not order the forcible administration of medication … . Matter of Nialani T. (Elizabeth B.), 2018 NY Slip Op 06019, Second Dept 9-12-18
