In re: C.J., a Minor 

After adjudicatory hearing at which respondent mother made admission, court adjudicated eight-month-old infant an abused minor. Mother stipulated to State's factual basis for minor to be adjudicated as abused minor, including that infant, at age three months, sustained five fractured ribs and other injuries while in care of parents or grandmother. State is not required to provide factual basis prior to a parent's admission that a child is abused. Court properly relied on shelter-care report as factual basis before it accepted mother's admission. State provided substantially more than minimum amount of evidence required to support mother's admission, and court appropriately considered shelter-care report to find that factual basis existed for admission. Thus, evidence properly established factual basis for mother's admission. (APPELTON and POPE, concurring.)
