Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Juvenile Court Act
Respondent minor, in 2012, admitted to allegation of robbery, for which he received modified term of probation to continue until his 21st birthday. In 2013 he admitted to charge of unlawful possession of cannabis, and was sentenced to indeterminate term in in Department of Juvenile Justice. Court erred in committing Respondent to IDJJ for indeterminate term. Court failed to first consider less restrictive alternatives, and failed to make express verbal or written finding, under Section 5-750(1)(b) of Juvenile Court Act, that commitment to IDJJ was the least restrictive alternative. (HUTCHINSON and ZENOFF, concurring.)
