18041804 3 (1) At the adjudicatory hearing, the court shall first
18051805 4 consider only the question whether the minor is abused,

18471847 10 a substantial state of stupor, unconsciousness,
18481848 11 intoxication, hallucination, disorientation or
18491849 12 incompetence, or a substantial impairment of judgment, or

19161916 7 (4) (a) Any writing, record, photograph or x-ray of any
19171917 8 hospital or public or private agency, whether in the form of an
19181918 9 entry in a book or otherwise, made as a memorandum or record of
19191919 10 any condition, act, transaction, occurrence or event relating
19201920 11 to a minor in an abuse, neglect or dependency proceeding,
19211921 12 shall be admissible in evidence as proof of that condition,

19581958 13 (d) There shall be a rebuttable presumption that a minor
19591959 14 is competent to testify in abuse or neglect proceedings. The
19601960 15 court shall determine how much weight to give to the minor's
19611961 16 testimony, and may allow the minor to testify in chambers with
19621962 17 only the court, the court reporter and attorneys for the
19631963 18 parties present.

19841984 3 supervision of a person or agency other than the respondent.
19851985 4 (5) In any hearing under this Act alleging neglect for
19861986 5 failure to provide education as required by law under
19871987 6 subsection (1) of Section 2-3, proof that a minor under 13
19881988 7 years of age who is subject to compulsory school attendance
19891989 8 under the School Code is a chronic truant as defined under the
19901990 9 School Code shall be prima facie evidence of neglect by the
19911991 10 parent or guardian in any hearing under this Act and proof that
19921992 11 a minor who is 13 years of age or older who is subject to
19931993 12 compulsory school attendance under the School Code is a
19941994 13 chronic truant shall raise a rebuttable presumption of neglect
19951995 14 by the parent or guardian. This subsection (5) shall not apply
19961996 15 in counties with 2,000,000 or more inhabitants.
19971997 16 (6) In any hearing under this Act, the court may take
19981998 17 judicial notice of prior sworn testimony or evidence admitted
19991999 18 in prior proceedings involving the same minor if (a) the
20002000 19 parties were either represented by counsel at such prior

23102310 7 child or, after being so informed where the child is not
23112311 8 yet born, within 30 days of the child's birth, or (ii) to
23122312 9 make a good faith effort to pay a reasonable amount of the
23132313 10 expenses related to the birth of the child and to provide a
23142314 11 reasonable amount for the financial support of the child,
23152315 12 the court to consider in its determination all relevant
23162316 13 circumstances, including the financial condition of both
23172317 14 parents; provided that the ground for termination provided
23182318 15 in this subparagraph (n)(2)(ii) shall only be available
23192319 16 where the petition is brought by the mother or the husband
23202320 17 of the mother.
23212321 18 Contact or communication by a parent with his or her
23222322 19 child that does not demonstrate affection and concern does

23272327 24 presumed. The subjective intent of the parent, whether
23282328 25 expressed or otherwise, unsupported by evidence of the
23292329 26 foregoing parental acts manifesting that intent, shall not

23402340 1 preclude a determination that the parent has intended to
23412341 2 forgo his or her parental rights. In making this
23422342 3 determination, the court may consider but shall not
23432343 4 require a showing of diligent efforts by an authorized
23442344 5 agency to encourage the parent to perform the acts
23452345 6 specified in subdivision (n).
23462346 7 It shall be an affirmative defense to any allegation
23472347 8 under paragraph (2) of this subsection that the father's
23482348 9 failure was due to circumstances beyond his control or to
23492349 10 impediments created by the mother or any other person
23502350 11 having legal custody. Proof of that fact need only be by a
23512351 12 preponderance of the evidence.
23522352 13 (o) Repeated or continuous failure by the parents,
23532353 14 although physically and financially able, to provide the
23542354 15 child with adequate food, clothing, or shelter.
23552355 16 (p) Inability to discharge parental responsibilities
23562356 17 supported by competent evidence from a psychiatrist,
23572357 18 licensed clinical social worker, or clinical psychologist
23582358 19 of mental impairment, mental illness or an intellectual
23592359 20 disability as defined in Section 1-116 of the Mental

23612361 22 developmental disability as defined in Section 1-106 of

23862386 11 child or provided little or no support for the child, and
23872387 12 the parent's incarceration will prevent the parent from
