Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Termination of Parental Rights
Parent was found unfit as to two of her minor children. Court's finding of unfitness was not against manifest weight of evidence, as evidence showed that despite several years of therapy, assistance and coaching, parent was incapable of safely and effectively parenting the minors. Parenty failed to show she was treated differently from a similarly situated individual, or that Section 1(D)(g) of Adoption Act contains a presumption of unfitness or that she was unable to rebut or present evidence; thus she failed to show finding of unfitness violated her right to equal protection.
(TOOMIN and LAVIN, concurring.)
