Though relevant to our evaluation of whether a juvenile gave a voluntary confession to police, the concerned-adult factor does not carry extra weight. See GO., 191 Ill.2d at 55; People v. Lee, 335 Ill.App.3d 659, 668, 781 N.E.2d 310, 318 (2002) ("The presence or absence of the parent is [one] factor in evaluating the voluntariness of a [juvenile's] statement or confession under the totality of the circumstances test." (Internal quotation marks omitted.)).
Numerous opinions of this court refer to 51st and Wentworth as the location of a police station. See, e.g., People v. Lee, 335 Ill. App. 3d 659, 662 (2002). ¶ 19 ANALYSIS
Although prior consistent statements are generally inadmissible, a trial court does not need to make a quantitative or mathematical analysis of whether a witness's entire statement is inconsistent in admitting it into evidence. People v. Lee, 335 Ill. App. 3d 659, 669 (2002) (citing People v. Morales, 281 Ill. App. 3d 695, 701 (1996)). Here, the other statements merely provide context to the incident and are not unduly prejudicial.
" A reviewing court will defer to the "the sound discretion of the trial court to determine whether or not a witness's testimony is admissible under section 115-10.1 of the Code." People v. Harvey, 366 Ill. App. 3d 910, 922 (2006) (citing People v. Lee, 335 Ill. App. 3d 659, 669 (2002)). However, in this case, the majority has rejected the trial court's determination that Clark's entire statement was admissible under section 115-10.1 and substituted its own judgment instead.
¶ 98 Even the judicial branch, while suggesting that the juvenile officer serves the role of a concerned adult role, does not require the juvenile officer to act in any way. In People v. Lee, 335 Ill.App.3d 659, 668–69, 269 Ill.Dec. 513, 781 N.E.2d 310 (2002), this court held that defendant's claim that his confession was involuntary because the youth officer failed to protect his rights was without merit. The court reasoned that because youth officers are not required to be present during an interrogation and the record was silent on the role the youth officer played during defendant's interrogation, the supposed failure by the youth officer did not render his confession involuntary.

As stated above, it is within the sound discretion of the trial court to determine whether or not a witness's testimony is admissible under section 115-10.1 of the Code. People v. Lee, 335 Ill.App.3d 659, 669, 269 Ill.Dec. 513, 781 N.E.2d 310 (2002). Although only the inconsistent portions of a prior statement are admissible, a trial court need not make a "quantitative or mathematical analysis" of whether a witness's entire statement is inconsistent under section 115-10.1 for the entire statement to be admissible.
Additional factors must be considered, such as the time of day and the presence of a parent or other adult concerned about the juvenile's welfare. People v. Lee, 335 Ill. App. 3d 659, 666 (2002), citing People v. Kolakowski, 319 Ill. App. 3d 200, 213 (2001), citing In re J.J.C., 294 Ill. App. 3d 227, 234 (1998). The trial court found significant the fact that both a parent and a youth officer were present.
