Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The hearing court properly declined to suppress the appellant's statement to law enforcement officials. The statement given by the appellant in the presence of his mother after the administration of Miranda rights ( see Miranda v Arizona, 384 US 436) was the product of a knowing waiver ( see People v White, 40 AD3d 662, 663; People v Santos, 38 AD3d 574), and the alleged inconsistencies in the hearing testimony of the investigative officer did not render her testimony incredible as a matter of law ( see People v Middleton, 36 AD3d 941, 942; People v Shewi Kuo, 289 AD2d 424).
Contrary to the appellant's contentions, the petition was not jurisdictionally defective, as it fully satisfied the sufficiency and verification requirements of the Family Court Act ( see Family Ct Act § 311.1 [h]; [4]; § 311.2 [2], [3]; Matter of Jahron S., 79 NY2d 632, 636; cf. CPLR 3020).
