FATHER COULD NOT BE FOUND TO HAVE PERMANENTLY NEGLECTED THE CHILDREN AND ALSO BE FOUND MENTALLY ILL TO A DEGREE WARRANTING TERMINATION OF HIS PARENTAL RIGHTS (FOURTH DEPT). ​

The Fourth Department determined father could not be found to have permanently neglected the children and also found to be mentally ill to a degree warranting termination of his parental rights:

Given the court's finding that the father was incapable of caring for the children based on his mental illness, however, the court erred in terminating his parental rights on the additional ground of permanent neglect. The father “could not be found to be mentally ill to a degree warranting termination of his parental rights and at the same time be found to have failed to plan for the future of the children although physically and financially able to do so” … . We therefore modify the order by dismissing the petition insofar as it alleges that the father permanently neglected the subject children. Matter of Norah T. (Norman T.), 2018 NY Slip Op 06681, Fourth Dept 10-5-18
