In the Matter of FAITH J., an Infant. SUFFOLK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Respondent; KATHLEEN J., Appellant. (Proceeding No. 1.)

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

The Family Court's determination regarding issues of credibility is entitled to great weight on appeal ( see Matter of Erich J., 22 AD3d 849, 850). Here, the Family Court's determination that the mother neglected the subject children is supported by a preponderance of the evidence, which demonstrated that the children's physical, mental, or emotional condition was impaired or was in imminent danger of becoming impaired as a result of the mother's bizarre and paranoid behavior ( see Family Ct Act § 1046 [b] [i]; Matter of Angel Marie L., 5 AD3d 773; Matter of Krewsean S., 273 AD2d 393; Matter of Caress S., 250 AD2d 490; Matter of Zariyasta S., 158 AD2d 45; Matter of Danielle M., 151 AD2d 240).

The mother's remaining contentions are without merit.
