Description

[53 A.D.2d 629 Page 629] In a proceeding pursuant to article 10 of the Family Court Act, petitioner appeals from an order of the Family Court, Richmond County, dated April 6, 1976, which, after a hearing, (1) dismissed the petition and (2) ordered that the child be returned to his parents. Order reversed, on the law and the facts, without costs or disbursements, petition granted, and it is determined that the infant is an abused child. The matter is remanded to the Family Court for further proceedings in accordance herewith, which proceedings shall take place before a Judge other than the one before whom the hearing under review was conducted.

On January 21, 1976 chest X rays revealed no abnormalities and, on January 24, 1976, the infant was discharged in good condition. Three days later the infant was admitted to St. Vincent's Hospital, Staten Island, with the following diagnoses: acute gastroenteritis and dehydration, with respiratory distress requiring intravenous fluid therapy, medication and oxygen; multiple abrasions, hematomas and bruises about the face, including scratch marks on his forehead, an excoriation on his nose and bilateral conjunctival hemorrhages in his eyes; dermatitis of the left arm and shoulder (generalized eczema); and multiple fractures of seven ribs and one leg and suspected fractures of both arms. Section 1046 (subd [a], par [ii]) of the Family Court Act states that proof of injuries sustained by a child or of the condition of a child of such a nature as would ordinarily not be sustained or exist except by reason of the acts or omissions of the parent or other person responsible for the care of such child shall be prima facie evidence of child abuse or neglect, as the case may be, of the parent or other person legally responsible.
