6        (e) proof of injuries sustained by a minor or of the
7    condition of a minor of such a nature as would ordinarily
8    not be sustained or exist except by reason of the acts or
9    omissions of the parent, custodian or guardian of such
10    minor shall be prima facie evidence of abuse or neglect, as
11    the case may be;
12        (f) proof that a parent, custodian or guardian of a
13    minor repeatedly used a drug, to the extent that it has or
14    would ordinarily have the effect of producing in the user a
15    substantial state of stupor, unconsciousness,
16    intoxication, hallucination, disorientation or
17    incompetence, or a substantial impairment of judgment, or a
18    substantial manifestation of irrationality, shall be prima

7    substance, with the exception of controlled substances or
8    metabolites of those substances, the presence of which is
9    the result of medical treatment administered to the mother
10    or the newborn, is prime facie evidence of neglect;
11        (i) proof that a minor was present in a structure or
12    vehicle in which the minor's parent, custodian, or guardian
13    was involved in the manufacture of methamphetamine
14    constitutes prima facie evidence of abuse and neglect;
15        (j) proof that a parent, custodian, or guardian of a

10    (4) (a) Any writing, record, photograph or x-ray of any
11hospital or public or private agency, whether in the form of an
12entry in a book or otherwise, made as a memorandum or record of
13any condition, act, transaction, occurrence or event relating
14to a minor in an abuse, neglect or dependency proceeding, shall
15be admissible in evidence as proof of that condition, act,
16transaction, occurrence or event, if the court finds that the

18hospital or agency and that it was in the regular course of
19such business to make it, at the time of the act, transaction,
20occurrence or event, or within a reasonable time thereafter. A

22hospital or agency that the writing, record, photograph or
23x-ray is the full and complete record of the condition, act,
24transaction, occurrence or event and that it satisfies the
25conditions of this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of
26the facts contained in such certification. A certification by

8admissibility.

10Neglected Child Reporting Act shall be admissible in evidence.
11    (c) Previous statements made by the minor relating to any
12allegations of abuse or neglect shall be admissible in

14subject to cross-examination, shall be sufficient in itself to
15support a finding of abuse or neglect.
16    (d) There shall be a rebuttable presumption that a minor is
17competent to testify in abuse or neglect proceedings. The court
18shall determine how much weight to give to the minor's
19testimony, and may allow the minor to testify in chambers with
20only the court, the court reporter and attorneys for the
21parties present.
22    (e) The privileged character of communication between any
23professional person and patient or client, except privilege

25subject to this Article.
26    (f) Proof of the impairment of emotional health or

 

 

HB5278 Enrolled- 17 -LRB097 18978 RLC 64217 b

1impairment of mental or emotional condition as a result of the
2failure of the respondent to exercise a minimum degree of care
3toward a minor may include competent opinion or expert
4testimony, and may include proof that such impairment lessened
5during a period when the minor was in the care, custody or

8failure to provide education as required by law under
9subsection (1) of Section 2-3, proof that a minor under 13
10years of age who is subject to compulsory school attendance
11under the School Code is a chronic truant as defined under the
12School Code shall be prima facie evidence of neglect by the
13parent or guardian in any hearing under this Act and proof that

15compulsory school attendance under the School Code is a chronic
16truant shall raise a rebuttable presumption of neglect by the
17parent or guardian. This subsection (5) shall not apply in
18counties with 2,000,000 or more inhabitants.
19    (6) In any hearing under this Act, the court may take
20judicial notice of prior sworn testimony or evidence admitted
21in prior proceedings involving the same minor if (a) the
22parties were either represented by counsel at such prior
23proceedings or the right to counsel was knowingly waived and
24(b) the taking of judicial notice would not result in admitting
25hearsay evidence at a hearing where it would otherwise be
26prohibited.
