BENNETT V. MARROW
399 N.Y.S.2d 697 (1977)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a custody dispute.
FACTS: This was a custody dispute between a natural mother and a foster mother. Gina
Marie was placed with the natural mother and now the court reexamined its findings based on
the Jeffreys case. There was a finding that while M was an adequate mother from the
standpoint of physical needs it seems that an emotional void existed between the child and
the natural mother. When tested for IQ in 1975 the child scored 113. When tested again in
1977, the child scored 84. An expert from Yale was called in and testified that the child
was mourning the loss of her mother. The family court awarded custody to the foster mother.
