Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Abuse and Neglect
Juvenile court entered dispositional order finding Respondent mother unable to care for her children, ages 5 and 13. Court's order was not against manifest weight of evidence. Respondent continued to deny that she was physically or emotionally abusive to children, contrary to evidence, and both children refused to see her and both had emotional and mental health issues. Record shows that reasonable efforts were made to prevent or eliminate need for removal of children from the home. (McBRIDE and REYES, concurring.)
