Matter of Karyn D

In Matter of Karyn D., 282 AD2d 746, 724 N.Y.S.2d 335 (2nd Dept. 2001), the Court held "the finding of neglect was supported by a preponderance of the evidence which demonstrated that the mother's mental illness and failure to continue with her prescribed course of medical treatment placed her child in imminent danger within the meaning of the Family Court Act. Contrary to the mother's contention, no finding of past or present harm to the child is necessary to support a finding of neglect." Id at 746,747.
