Description
Order unanimously reversed on the law and the facts, without costs, petitions granted, and matter remitted to Oneida County
Family Court, for further proceedings, in accordance with the following memorandum: Family Court erred in dismissing the petitions
against respondents after a fact-finding hearing in a child protective proceeding (Family [140 A.D.2d 990 Page 991] -- Ct Act art 10). The primary injury to the 15-month-old infant Jacinta J. was a five-centimeter laceration of the perineum
running from the posterior wall of the vagina out onto the perineum and up to the cervix. There was no sign of external bruising
or injury of the area and it was only when the labia were spread that the injury was visible. The emergency room physician
who examined the infant testified that in his opinion the injury was not accidental in nature and that "[i]t appeared to be
a blunt injury with the intent to have something entering that area, what, I cannot tell you." Emergency surgery was performed
to repair the laceration.
