[919 NYS2d 332]

Opinion:
The record contains substantial evidence that supports the determination that the children's best interests would be served by their removal from petitioner's home (see Matter of O'Rourke v Kirby, 54 NY2d 8, 16 [1981]). The evidence also supports the finding that petitioner failed to provide one of the boys with his prescribed medication (see Matter of Joshua Noel A., 40 AD3d 749 [2007]).
