Opinion

March 7, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Huttner, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

Since the defendants had reasonable cause to suspect that the infant plaintiff might have been abused, and acted in good faith in reporting the suspected abuse and holding the infant for investigation, the defendants are entitled to the immunity provisions of Social Services Law § 419 (see, Miriam P. v. City of New York, 163 A.D.2d 39; Isabelle V. v. City of New York, 150 A.D.2d 312; Kempster v. Child Protective Servs., 130 A.D.2d 623). Bracken, J.P., Miller, Copertino, Santucci and Altman, JJ., concur.
