Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Abuse and Neglect
Court took wardship of minor upon allegations of neglect and injurious environment as mother had, 2 months prior to minor's birth, left minor's siblings in the care of minor's 14-year-old sibling while she left the state. Court found mother unfit but found father fit. Order of wardship was not against manifest weight of evidence, even though minor was in custody of father, given father's criminal history and that he and mother were arrested for credit card fraud and possession of stolen property, and that parents were continuing their relationship.(CARTER and McDADE, concurring).
