MATTER OF THE M. CHILDREN

A preponderance of the evidence shows that respondent is suffering from a mental illness for which she has been refusing treatment, and which caused the children to miss a substantial amount of school ( see, Matter of Madeline R., 214 A.D.2d 445). We have considered respondent's remaining contentions and find them unavailing.
