In re Matter of Chance H.

Court adjudicated Respondent mother's 7 children as neglected due to injurious environment. Respondent's statements to caseworkers as to her mental health diagnoses were properly admitted as a statement by a party-opponent, as substantive evidence bearing on issue of whether minors were abused or neglected and adjudication of wardship. Respondent had many contacts with DCFS, did not complete service plans, threatened physical violence toward minors, and had altercations with some of the minors. Adjudication of neglect was not against manifest weight of evidence. (ROCHFORD and HOFFMAN, concurring.)
