Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Neglected Minor
State filed neglect petition against minor's mother and father, alleging that minor was neglected as to medical care and in an injurious environment. At dispositional hearing, court found Respondent father to be a fit parent, and that father had not contributed to injurious environment, but ordered that minor not be returned home, and instead remain in foster care. Once court made a finding that father was a fit parent, it was not authorized to make minor a ward of the court and place custody with DCFS. (SCHMIDT and WRIGHT, concurring.)
