In Matter of Ronald D. (282 AD2d 533 [2d Dept 2001]), the appellate court upheld a Family Court order which terminated the appellant's parental rights. The lower court determined that the appellant had abandoned his son by failing to have had sufficient contact with the boy while the appellant was incarcerated. The Second Department held that "neither the order of protection which directed the appellant to stay away from his son, nor the appellant's incarceration, prevented him from otherwise contacting his son or the foster care agency by telephone or by letter." (Supra.)
