Abuse and Neglect
As legislature specifically removed environment-injurious language from its definition of neglect in Abusxed and Neglected Child Reporting Act, DCFS was without authority to reestablish that definition of neglect. Thus, an allegation in DCFS's indicating finding which reestablished that prior definition exceeds DCFS's scope of authority under the Act and is void. (KILBRIDE, FREEMAN, THOMAS, KARMEIER, and THEIS, concurring.)
