Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Abuse and Neglect
Court found nine-month old infant physically abused and neglected due to injurious environment, and found his 28-month-old sister neglected due to injurious environment. Court found parents unable to care for children and made them wards of court. Pediatrician expert's testimony that infant's skull fractures were nonaccidental and caused by trauma was unrebutted, supporting finding of physical abuse. Court was not required to determine which parent, if any, perpetrated the abuse. Same evidence supporting physical-abuse finding supports finding of neglect due to injurious environment as to both children. (HOFFMAN and KARNEZIS, concurring.)
