Court found infant to be a ward of the court and vested guardianship of him in DCFS. Respondent father is also a minor. Juvenile Court Act does not require service upon parents of a Respondent minor who is not the subject of the underlying proceeding. An incarcerated defendant may submit to jurisdiction of court through participation. Respondent's parents were not necessary parties, as they did not have custody or control of infant. (CAVANAGH, concurring; HOLDER WHITE, specially concurring.)
