14    Sec. 2-18. Evidence.
15    (1) At the adjudicatory hearing, the court shall first
16consider only the question whether the minor is abused,
17neglected or dependent. The standard of proof and the rules of
18evidence in the nature of civil proceedings in this State are
19applicable to proceedings under this Article. If the petition

14    condition of a minor of such a nature as would ordinarily
15    not be sustained or exist except by reason of the acts or

18    the case may be;
19        (f) proof that a parent, custodian or guardian of a
20    minor repeatedly used a drug, to the extent that it has or
21    would ordinarily have the effect of producing in the user a

24    incompetence, or a substantial impairment of judgment, or a
25    substantial manifestation of irrationality, shall be prima

14    substance, with the exception of controlled substances or
15    metabolites of those substances, the presence of which is
16    the result of medical treatment administered to the mother
17    or the newborn, is prime facie evidence of neglect;
18        (i) proof that a minor was present in a structure or
19    vehicle in which the minor's parent, custodian, or guardian
20    was involved in the manufacture of methamphetamine
21    constitutes prima facie evidence of abuse and neglect;

24    offer, or agree to perform any act of sexual penetration as
25    defined in Section 12-12 of the Criminal Code of 1961 for

18hospital or public or private agency, whether in the form of an
19entry in a book or otherwise, made as a memorandum or record of
20any condition, act, transaction, occurrence or event relating
21to a minor in an abuse, neglect or dependency proceeding, shall
22be admissible in evidence as proof of that condition, act,
23transaction, occurrence or event, if the court finds that the

3hospital or agency that the writing, record, photograph or

12memorandum, record, photograph or x-ray, including lack of
13personal knowledge of the maker, may be proved to affect the
14weight to be accorded such evidence, but shall not affect its
15admissibility.
16    (b) Any indicated report filed pursuant to the Abused and
17Neglected Child Reporting Act shall be admissible in evidence.
18    (c) Previous statements made by the minor relating to any
19allegations of abuse or neglect shall be admissible in

21subject to cross-examination, shall be sufficient in itself to
22support a finding of abuse or neglect.
23    (d) There shall be a rebuttable presumption that a minor is
24competent to testify in abuse or neglect proceedings. The court
25shall determine how much weight to give to the minor's
26testimony, and may allow the minor to testify in chambers with

 

 

09700HB5278ham001- 17 -LRB097 18978 RLC 66428 a

15failure to provide education as required by law under
16subsection (1) of Section 2-3, proof that a minor under 13
17years of age who is subject to compulsory school attendance
18under the School Code is a chronic truant as defined under the

21a minor who is 13 years of age or older who is subject to
22compulsory school attendance under the School Code is a chronic
23truant shall raise a rebuttable presumption of neglect by the
24parent or guardian. This subsection (5) shall not apply in
25counties with 2,000,000 or more inhabitants.

6hearsay evidence at a hearing where it would otherwise be
7prohibited.
