In Matter of Sasha R. (246 AD2d 1) the Family Court dismissed a permanent neglect petition because the agency didn't locate the father even though he told the agency he was incarcerated. In reversing the Family Court, the Appellate Division ruled that "the Family Court erroneously found that simply because respondent told the agency he was incarcerated, the agency had the means to communicate with him." (Matter of Sasha R., supra at 5.) The Court went on to note that the respondent had several aliases and that the agency didn't know what crime he was convicted of, his prison identification number, or his date of conviction. The Court concluded that it was the respondent's responsibility to tell the agency where he was, and could have done so by phone or mail.
