The Fourth Department affirmed admission of hacked surveillance videos in related child-protection proceedings, relying on FBI copying testimony, law-enforcement identification, matching room details, timestamps, and lack of visible tampering. The court treated deepfake doubts as weight issues; the Court of Appeals later disagreed in Matter of M.S.
