FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

In 2006, years before the present dependency proceedings, Alan G.’s family came to the attention of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) based on the allegation that Willie G. had sexually abused children in the family. DCFS concluded that Willie G. had sexually abused Alan G.’s older stepsister, but that the remaining five children in the home, including six-year-old Alan G., were not at risk of abuse.

Alan G. alleged that Hubert J. hit him in his face with an open hand, grabbed his shirt, and threw him onto the couch while calling him profane names. Alan G. said he feared going home. He claimed that his
