Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Juvenile Sentencing
Minor, then age 16, entered guilty plea to burglary and theft, which was basis for revoking her probation in 3 other delinquency cases, and sentenced minor to DOJJ for indeterminate term not to exceed her 21st birthday. Court was aware of her prior criminal and social history, services provided, and dangerous conduct, and concluded incarceration was necessary given that all local resources had been exhausted. Court properly considered criminal histories of minor's parents and stepfather, as relevant to possible placement, given that mother and stepfather were incarcerated and father lived in Louisiana. (KNECHT and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
