NEGLECT PETITION ALLEGING EXCESSIVE CORPORAL PUNISHMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISMISSED AFTER PRESENTATION OF DIRECT CASE, CHILD’S OUT OF COURT STATEMENTS SUFFICIENTLY CORROBORATED.

The Second Department, reversing Family Court, determined the neglect petition should not have been dismissed at the close of the direct case. There was sufficient evidence of excessive corporal punishment and sufficient corroboration of the child’s out of court statements:

At the fact-finding hearing, the petitioner introduced a recording of two telephone calls to the 911 emergency number, and elicited testimony from a police officer and a caseworker that the mother admitted using a belt against the child. Such evidence was sufficient to corroborate the child’s out-of-court statements to the caseworker that the mother beat her … . Moreover, the absence of physical injury is not dispositive … . In any event, the caseworker’s testimony that the child had stated that her upper right arm hurt from having defended herself, was not undermined on cross examination. Finally, dismissal was not warranted on the ground that the child gave a conflicting statement to the police officer. Matter of Jaivon J. (Patricia D.), 2017 NY Slip Op 01856, 2nd Dept 3-15-17
