Description
This is a proceeding to terminate parental rights instituted by petitioner St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services on the ground that respondents youngest child, Leon, is permanently neglected (Social Services Law, § 384-b, subd 7). The threshold issue raised on the appeal concerns the propriety of the admission into evidence of the childs entire case file by petitioner as a business record over the objection of the natural parents. Ultimately, it must be determined whether petitioner proved, by a fair preponderance of the evidence, that respondents future plans for the child were inadequate despite diligent efforts on the part of the agency to strengthen and encourage the parent-child relationship.
