 8        Sec. 5-2.  Venue.
 9        (a) (1) Venue under this Article lies in the county where
10    the minor resides or is found.  Venue also lies in the county
11    where the alleged attempt to violate or violation of federal,
12    state  or local law occurred or in the county where the order
13    of the court, alleged to have been violated  by  such  minor,
14    was  made unless subsequent to the order the proceedings have
15    been transferred to another county.
16        (b) (2)  If proceedings are commenced in any county other
17    than that of the minor's residence, the court  in  which  the
18    proceedings  were  initiated  may at any time before or after
19    adjudication of wardship transfer the case to the  county  of
20    the  minor's  residence  by transmitting to the court in that
21    county an authenticated copy of the court  record,  including
22    all  documents,  petitions  and orders filed therein, and the
23    minute orders and docket entries of the  court.  Transfer  in
24    like manner may be made in the event of a change of residence
25    from  one  county  to  another  of  a  minor  concerning whom
26    proceedings are pending.
