Respondent minor was adjudicated delinquent for two counts of aggravated battery. One-act, one-crime act applies in juvenile proceedings, thus one conviction must be vacated as both counts were based on single act. DNA indexing statute not unconstitutional on grounds of unreasonable search and seizure, or violations of right to privacy under federal or state constitutions. Statute does not authorize gathering of uniquely private genetic facts; and Illinois State Police regulation allows use of genetic marker grouping information only if all personal identifying information is removed.
