Appeal arising out of circuit court’s denial of the State’s petition to adjudicate a minor a ward of the court due to an injurious environment under section 2-3(1)(b) of the Juvenile Court Act. On appeal, the State argued that the minor was subject to an injurious environment based on the respondent mother’s attempted murder of the minor’s newborn brother. The appellate court agreed with the State and reversed the circuit court’s judgment. (FITZGERALD SMITH and HOWSE, concurring)
