Court entered adjudication order making 14-year-old minor a ward of the court due to substantial risk of physical injury that would likely impair minor's emotional health. Court properly considered the entirety of Respondent  mother's medical records, and the finding of abuse was not against manifest weight of evidence.Records described mother's mental health issues, for which she was not taking her medicine as prescribed. Mother directed violence and physical aggression toward her mother, in front of minor and where minor intervened to break up the altercation. (LAMPKIN and REYES, concurring.)
