The finding of neglect as to Leah is supported by a preponderance of the evidence (Family Ct Act §1046[b][i]) that the mother had inflicted excessive corporal punishment on Leah by beating her with her hands or a belt, and leaving a mark that was visible approximately one year later see Matter of Anthony C., 201 AD2d 342, 342-343 [1st Dept 1994]; see also Family Ct Act §1012[f][i][B]). Leah’s out-of-court statements to the caseworker regarding the beatings and the marks were corroborated by the caseworker’s observation of the marks Matter of Ameena C. [Wykisha C.], 83 AD3d 606, 607 [1st Dept 2011]) and by the out-of-court statements of Tiara and Taqia (see Matter of Shayna R., 57 AD3d 262, 262-263 [1st Dept 2008]).
