On December 21,1978, he was committed to the Department of Corrections.\nThe minor now appeals, claiming that he has been denied equal protection under the Illinois and United States constitutions because he faces a possible 5-year commitment with the Department of Corrections for an offense which \u2014 had it been committed by an adult \u2014 would have been punishable by a maximum sentence of 364 days.\nHowever, the argument advanced on appeal was never presented to the trial court \u2014 not by pleading, not by objection, not by post-trial motion.\nIn our recent decision of In re F.L.W. (1979), 73 Ill. App. 3d 355, 391 N.E.2d 1070, we held that the same argument presented here was waived by a failure to raise it in the trial court. See also People v. Amerman (1971), 50 Ill. 2d 196, 279 N.E.2d 353; People v. Pickett (1973), 54 Ill. 2d 280, 296 N.E.2d 856.\nSince the only issue raised on appeal has not been properly preserved, it was waived.\nAffirmed.\nTRAPP, J., concurs.",

        "text": "Mr. JUSTICE CRAVEN,\ndissenting:\nThe short majority opinion citing adult criminal cases affirms the commitment of a juvenile upon the basis of waiver imputed to the juvenile. With that I do not agree. It is my understanding that it is one of the high functions of any court to protect the interest of juveniles. We should be slow to find waiver of substantial rights by juveniles.\nThis minor is committed for what could possibly be 5 years at the Department of Corrections for a relatively minor offense which if it had been committed by an adult would carry a maximum penalty of 364 days. That great disparity triggers the need for a reexamination of the equal-protection problem that is apparent. Thus, for the reasons set forth in my dissent in In re F.L.W. (1979), 73 Ill. App. 3d 355, 391 N.E.2d 1070, I again dissent.",
