Ordered that the fact-finding order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the father's contention, the Family Court correctly found, by a preponderance of the evidence, that he neglected his son by failing to provide him with adequate medical care ( see Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [A]; § 1046 [b] [i]). When the father became aware of the child's condition, he failed to promptly seek medical care for the child or to follow through on recommendations from medical authorities, thus supporting a finding of neglect ( see Matter of William AA., 24 AD3d 1125; Matter of Zakrya M., 18 AD3d 754).
