IN THE MATTER OF CRYSTAL ROXY LYNN D. (ANONYMOUS). ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES, respondent; MARGUERITE D. (ANONYMOUS), appellant. (PROCEEDING NO. 1) (DOCKET NO. NA-01999/95) IN THE MATTER OF RICKY D. (ANONYMOUS). ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES, respondent; MARGUERITE D. (ANONYMOUS), appellant. (PROCEEDING NO. 2) (DOCKET NO. NA-02000/95)

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the orders of disposition are affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

The petitioner carried its burden of proving by a preponderance of the credible evidence that the mother abused her daughter Crystal Roxy Lynn (see Family Ct. Act § 1012[e][i]; 1046[b][i]; Matter of Michael R., 228 A.D.2d 684). That evidence included the mother's criminal conviction for attempted assault in the third degree of Crystal Roxy Lynn.

The mother's conduct demonstrated such an impaired level of parental judgment so as to create a substantial risk of harm to any child in her care. Accordingly, the finding of derivative abuse as to her son Ricky was appropriate (see Matter of Brian B., 283 A.D.2d 424; Matter of Khabira B., 271 A.D.2d 606).

The mother's remaining contentions are without merit.

GOLDSTEIN, J.P., McGINITY, ADAMS and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
