Which case in Illinois requires DCFS to locate joint placement for siblings?

Aristotle P V. McDonald
BH V. McDonald
Burgos V. Suter
Bates V. McDonald

The correct answer is: Aristotle P V. McDonald

In the case of Aristotle P v. McDonald, the court ruled that the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) must make reasonable efforts to locate a joint placement for siblings who are in the foster care system. This decision was significant in ensuring that siblings can remain together whenever possible, as separating siblings can have detrimental effects on their well-being and relationship with each other. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not relate to the specific case that established the requirement for DCFS to locate joint placements for siblings in Illinois.
