Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Abuse and Neglect
Minor and his older brother were made wards of the court and have lived with foster parent for 5 years. Facts and law justify court's order appointing foster mother as guardian of minor. Mother's attorney did not object during hearing when judge said she had a conversation with minor. Mother failed to show that she was prejudiced by the conversation, and it was merely cumulative, as many witnesses testified that minor said that he wanted to continue living with foster mother.(NEVILLE and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
