10710. IN RE ANTHONY WAYNE S., AND ANOTHER, DEPENDENT CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN YEARS, ETC., DAMARIS S., res-ap, ABBOTT HOUSE, pet-res — Geanine Towers, P.C., Brooklyn (Geanine Towers of counsel), for ap — Quinlan & Fields, Hawthorne (Jeremiah Quinlan of counsel), for res — TAMARA A. STECKLER, THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY, NEW YORK (PATRICIA S. COLELLA OF COUNSEL), ATTORNEY FOR THE CHILDREN.— Order, Family Court, Bronx County (Monica Drinane, J.), entered on or about September 11, 2012, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, revoked a suspended judgment entered on a finding of permanent neglect, terminated respondent mother’s parental rights to the children, and committed custody and guardianship of the children to petitioner Agency for the purpose of adoption, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The finding that respondent violated the terms of the suspended judgment, entered after respondent admitted to having permanently neglected the children, is supported by a preponderance of the evidence (see Matter of Kendra C.R. [Charles R.], 68 AD3d 467, 467-468 [1st Dept 2009], lv dismissed and denied 14 NY3d 870 [2010]). Appellant failed to comply with the judgment which required, inter alia, that she stay away from the children’s father with whom there is a history of domestic violence and refrain from abusing alcohol.
