Full opinion text
In two proceedings pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b to terminate parental rights on the ground of permanent neglect, the Law Guardian appeals from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Elkins, J.), dated September 15, 2004, which, after a hearing, denied the petitions and dismissed the proceedings.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Family Court properly dismissed the petitions to terminate the mother’s parental rights as the petitioner failed, to establish “permanent neglect” under Social Services Law § 384-b (7) (a) (see Matter of Donovan R., 10 AD3d 398 [2004]; Matter of Marielene T. R., 253 AD2d 882 [1998]). Krausman, J.P., Luciano, Spolzino and Lifson, JJ., concur.
