Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Abuse and Neglect
Mother entrusted her minor daughter, age 16, to the care of her live-in paramour, a registered sex offender, while mother served 180-day sentence in county jail. Court properly found that minor, age 16, was neglected due to injurious environment and that mother was dispositionally unfit. Mother was under DCFS for previous neglect allegations, was dishonest about nature of her relationship with paramour, and did not reveal that she later married him, and did not provide suitable plan for substitute care during her incarceration. (CARTER and McDADE, concurring.)
