OPINION
The circuit court of Peoria County found A.W., a minor, neglected and made him a ward of the court. Eugene W, the minor’s father, appealed. The appellate court upheld the neglect and unfitness findings, but vacated and remanded the cause, finding a violation of Eugene’s fifth amendment right against self-incrimination because he was not allowed to complete sex offender counseling without admitting he committed a sex offense. 373 Ill. App. 3d 574.
