Ordered that the orders of disposition are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

While much of the testimony at the fact-finding hearing was conflicting, great weight must be accorded to the Family Court's assessment of witness credibility ( see, Matter of Commissioner of Social Servs. of City of N. Y. [Julian L.] v Hyacinth L., 210 AD2d 329, 331). The evidence supports the Family Court's finding that both children were neglected by the appellant mother ( see, Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [B]; § 1046 [b] [i]; Matter of Cody P., 227 AD2d 724; Matter of Commissioner of Social Servs. of City of N. Y. [Julian L.] v Hyacinth L., supra; Matter of Victoria SS., 108 AD2d 989).

The appellant's contentions concerning the dispositional hearing are academic, as the terms of the orders of disposition have already expired ( see, Matter of Nicholas P., 197 AD2d 693).
