MOTHER’S APPLICATION FOR RETURN OF THE CHILD AFTER TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF THE CHILD IN THIS DERIVATIVE NEGLECT AND ABUSE PROCEEDING SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Family Court, determined that mother’s application for return of the child who had been temporarily removed from the home should not have been granted:

… [T]he Family Court’s determination granting the mother’s application for the return of the subject child lacked a sound and substantial basis in the record. At the hearing, the mother admitted to hitting Sincere G. with an extension cord, leaving welts on his skin, because he would not clean his room and she wanted to get “control” over him. Although the mother testified that she only hit Sincere G. on his arms and legs, photographs admitted into evidence at the hearing clearly show welts across his chest as well. Since that incident, and as of the time of the hearing, the mother had failed to sufficiently address the mental health issues that led to the incident … . Accordingly, we cannot agree that the return of the subject child to the mother’s custody, notwithstanding the conditions that were imposed, would not present an imminent risk to the child’s life or health. The mother’s application for the return of the child should have been denied, and we remit the matter to the Family Court, Kings County, for further proceedings on the petition. Pending those further proceedings, the subject child shall remain in the care and custody of the father, with supervised parental access to the mother, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an order of the Family Court … . Matter of Tatih E. (Keisha T.), 2019 NY Slip Op 00434, Second Dept 1-23-19
