Evidence was sufficient to support court's finding that minor was neglected and abused, as child was neglected due to injurious environment and abused due to substantial risk of physical injury.  Mother refused to entrust minor with services offered through UCAN and DCFS, and instead entrusted minor with her mother and grandmother, who had abused and neglected her and her siblings when she was a minor; and mother consistently failed to participate in services assigned to her. (MASON and LAVIN, concurring.)
