Court found respondent father unfit as infant's parent due to depravity, and that it was in infant's best interest to terminate his parental rights. State presented evidence that DCFS had made indicated findings of abuse and neglect against respondent as to several of his other children; and that he had history of domestic violence as to prior paramours and children, and that he had history of alcohol abuse, failure to remain free of alcohol and drug use,  and failure to cooperate with services. Finding of unfitness and best-interest determination were not against manifest weight of evidence. (BURKE and SPENCE, concurring.)
