Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Termination of Parental Rights
Court's finding that mother and father of minor child were unfit, and terminating their parental rights, was not against manifest weight of evidence. Mother was not denied a fair hearing or due process at hearing on parental fitness. Court properly took judicial notice of father's Sex Offender Registry printout, which listed father's address, as it fell within public records exception to hearsay rule. Court properly admitted, as a business record, letter from day care director describing minor's behavior. Court properly made determinations as to mother's hearsay objections and refused to consider portions of court file it found to be hearsay. (LIU and HARRIS, concurring.)
