Respondent was charged with neglecting her 12-year-old daughter, Pria, and derivatively neglecting her ten-year-old daughter, Amber, by aiding and abetting the infliction of excessive corporal punishment upon the 12 year old by her 27-year-old brother, Dion, on June 8, 2010 (see Family Court Act §§1046[b][i], 1012[f][i][B]; Matter of Joseph C. [Anthony C.], 88 AD3d 478 [1st Dept 2011]). Family Court found that respondent had neglected Pria, but not Amber because an isolated event was involved. Respondent and the attorney for the children appeal from the finding of neglect and the latter seeks dismissal of the petition.
