Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Abuse and Neglect
(Court opinion corrected 9/8/11.) Court found minor neglected due to lack of care and injurious environment. Respondent had adopted minor, after serving as her foster mother, at age 3. Respondent failed to provide shelter for minor, as she refused to allow her back in home after hospital discharge and failed to find alternative residence, failed to visit minor during her two months of hospitalization. Thus, court's finding of neglect, rather than dependency, was not against manifest weight of evidence. (CUNNINGHAM and KARNEZIS, concurring.)
