An appeals court has backed the finding of a Family Court judge who declared two children neglected after their mother said she wanted her husband—a twice-convicted child sex offender—to have unsupervised access to them.
The Appellate Division, Third Department, held in Matter of Lillian SS., 516710, that Ulster County Family Court Judge Anthony McGinty (See Profile) was within his discretion in determining that the father posed an “imminent danger” to the children and that the 7-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl were neglected.
