Description
Calendar Date: November 14, 2000 MAJORITY OPINION Appeal from an order of the Family Court of Greene County (Pulver Jr., J.), entered August 2, 1999, which dismissed petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, for visitation with her son. Petitioner is the mother of a son (hereinafter the child) born in 1991. In 1995, a Florida court determined that petitioner had neglected the child by failing to properly protect him from abuse at the hands of her cohabitant. The court ordered that the child be placed with relatives and that petitioner undergo a series of parenting classes and counseling sessions, be evaluated by a psychologist and complete all recommended treatment. Although it is unclear whether petitioner successfully completed the court's treatment plan, the child was returned to her in August 1995 upon the express condition that he have no further contact with the individual who had abused him. Based upon petitioner's subsequent noncompliance with that condition, the Florida court removed the child from petitioner's custody and placed him with his maternal aunt, who resided in New York. The Florida court's order allowed petitioner to have visitation with the child for one four-hour period each month.
