    However, the respondent did not object to the date before the trial court, and he does not do so on appeal. Therefore, he has forfeited any contention that the date is in error. See In re H.D., 343 Ill. App. 3d 483, 489-90 (2003). ¶ 40 We have reviewed the evidence presented at the adjudicatory hearing and hold that it was sufficient to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Kiese was a neglected minor under count I. First, it is clear that the mother did not follow up with the download appointments.

    Therefore, respondent has forfeited any argument with regard to the defectiveness of the wording in count IV of the State's petition when she failed to object to its contents at trial or allow the court to remedy the alleged defect. In re H.D., 343 Ill. App. 3d 483, 489-490 (2003). ¶ 52 With regard to the merits of count IV, we hold that the State proved by a preponderance of the evidence that Kiese was neglected under that count. ¶ 53 At the time of the neglect hearing, Illinois law provided that a person endangered the life or health of a child when he or she: (1) willfully caused or permitted the life or health of a child under the age of 18 to be endangered; or (2) willfully caused or permitted the child to be placed in circumstances that endangered the child's life or health.
