    In the Matter of Destiny H. Westchester County Department of Social Services, Appellant; Valerie B., Respondent.
    [920 NYS2d 716]
   In a child neglect proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, the petitioner appeals from an order of the Family Court, Westchester County (Edwards, J.), entered July 20, 2010, which, after a fact-finding hearing, denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Family Court failed to state on the record the facts which it deemed essential to its determination to dismiss the petition (see Family Ct Act § 1051 [c]; Matter of Jose L.I., 46 NY2d 1024, 1025-1026 [1979]; cf. Matter of Jodi S., 179 AD2d 653 [1992]). However, remittal is not necessary because the record is sufficient for this Court to conduct an independent review of the evidence (see Matter of Jose L.I., 46 NY2d at 1026; Matter of Leon G., 7 AD3d 524 [2004]; cf. Matter of Austin v Austin, 254 AD2d 703 [1998]).

Upon our independent review of the evidence, we discern no basis to disturb the Family Court’s ultimate determination that the allegations of neglect were not proven by a preponderance of the evidence (see Family Ct Act § 1046 [b] [i]; Nicholson v Scoppetta, 3 NY3d 357, 368, 371 [2004]; Matter of Tammie Z., 66 NY2d 1, 3 [1985]). Contrary to the petitioner’s contention, the credible evidence did not establish that the mother failed to exercise a minimum degree of care in providing the child with proper supervision (see Matter of Charles N., 83 AD2d 947 [1981]; cf. Matter of Antonio NN., 28 AD3d 826 [2006]; Matter of James HH., 234 AD2d 783 [1996]; Matter of Eric M., 90 AD2d 717 [1982]). Accordingly, the Family Court properly denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding. Skelos, J.P., Belen, Lott and Cohen, JJ., concur.
