In re T.R.

State filed petition for adjudication of wardship, alleging that Respondent, then 16, committed criminal sexual assault and criminal sexual abuse of a minor girl, then age 15. After bench trial, court adjudicated Respondent a delinquent minor. Defense counsel told court that a letter from Respondent's counsel alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. Court should have conducted a Krankel hearing after announcing its findings and ultimate decision. In a juvenile delinquency proceeding, a parent may raise an ineffective assistance claim on behalf of his or her child who is a respondent. When a parent does so, the court is required to conduct a Krankel hearing. (KNECHT and TURNER, concurring.)
