Description
This child protective proceeding was commenced on June 17, 1983, pursuant to Family Court Act article 10. The neglect petition
was filed one week after the police had responded to a neighbor's call of a child beating, whereupon it was ascertained that
the child, Valerie T., had multiple bruises, welts and [107 A.D.2d 327 Page 328] lacerations. The hospital record, almost 50 pages in length, is replete with gross references that there were "multiple
bruises all over body," both old and fresh injuries, cigarette burns and belt buckle marks. Valerie, who was approximately
five years of age at that time, also disclosed that she had been previously raped by her uncle, Eugene S. The mother, Joyce
P., was arrested for endangering the welfare of a minor and, after pleading guilty, was sentenced to probation. Although she
initially admitted that she had hit the child with a belt, she later denied it, claiming that the injuries were self-inflicted
and, subsequently, she stated that she only hit the child with the cloth part of the belt.
