ORDERED that the appeals from so much of the orders of fact-finding and disposition as placed the children in the custody of the Administration for Children's Services for 12 months are dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements, as the period of placement has expired; and it is further,
ORDERED that the orders of fact-finding and disposition are affirmed insofar as reviewed, without costs or disbursements.
The petitioner carried its burden of proving by a preponderance of the credible evidence that the mother abused one of her daughters, who was four years old, by deliberately burning her hand. The little girl's twin sister corroborated the abuse (see, Matter of Nicole V., 71 N.Y.2d 112; Matter of Zakheima M., 239 A.D.2d 498; Family Ct Act — 1046[a][6]). The mother's explanation of how the burn occurred was implausible. Moreover, the mother admitted under oath that she habitually used crack cocaine, thus establishing that all five children were neglected (see, Matter of Glenn G., 154 Misc.2d 677, 682, affd 218 A.D.2d 656; Family Ct Act — 1012[f][i][B]).
The mother's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review, academic, or without merit.
