Court's findings that Respondent mother's three minor children were abused and neglected were not against manifest weight of evidence. Court heard evidence including that mother delayed seeking medical treatment for one child's burn on his leg; and that mother was noncompliant with services; and that mother could not explain bruise on one child or the burn on the other child's leg. State was not required to show that each minor had already been harmed, to prove its allegations of abuse and neglect. (NEVILLE and HYMAN, concurring.)
