Body of Crystal Lake 5 year old AJ Freund Found. Parents to be charged.

[GREEN607]

This just truly breaks my heart, knowing what that poor little boy went thru. Illinois DCF was involved with the family since his birth..... as he was born with opiates in his system. Freund and Cunningham were both addicts, apparently. He had been thru court ordered rehab a couple years ago.... and the mother had to be taking opiates while pregnant with little Andrew. Heartbreaking......

I may have misspoken when I stated he was "too calm". A better word might be 'nonchalant'..... considering it's a 911 call about his 5 YEAR OLD son. Judge for yourselves.....

I think it is very telling that he doesn't even refer to the 'missing child' as his son. And WTH did he mean when he said 'we haven't found him, or any other child?' Weird.

I have no words to describe my feelings on this. None I can share in here anyway.

I dont judge people on calmness. That doesn't mean someone is guilty or anything. I'm one of those few weird people that is calmer and thinks clearer under stress and pressure. Especially a 911 call you want every detail to be recorded and taken down and passed on. When you have to repeat yourself giving instructions in person or a 911 report, valuable seconds and minutes are lost.
I always told my kids if they fell and got hurt (and amazingly it works and they are trained) stop crying, breathe and talk normally so I can understand you and start addressing the problem. Cant understand crap or help crap when someone is hysterical and hyporventalating and now I have to treat that before i can even figure out why.

I feel the same. Although I am prone to anxiety in daily life, I am sometimes more calm when something bigger happens, and just do what needs done. I've been called out on it several times, as if not freaking out or crying makes me uncaring.

It's exceedingly dicey to try to make conclusions from demeanor during a 911 call. There is no "right way" and I would imagine that if we listened to 1,000 call from people who it is known had nothing to do with the tragedy they are calling about, we would be surprised at how wide a range of demeanors we heard.

Granted, this guy kinda sounded out of it. Having made a 911 call about my oldest son having his first severe seizure (both my sons had a juvenile seizure disorder that they grew out of) I think that I would have been described as calm and direct, but not sounding stressed as my son convulsed on the floor next to me. When emergencies happen, I go into emergency mode which my wifes describes as a disturbing calmness...which is a heck of a lot better than panic.

How could anyone do this to a child?

Evil beyond words, and I'm afraid we are only going to see more.

 

[HoughMade]

Bad news. People have been killing kids since there were kids.

Worse news. Now we get to hear about all of them thanks to the miracle of modern communication.

I'll agree that evil is not on a decline, however.

More info coming out. I'm not expert but how was this allowed to go on with this child. The child was beaten and forced to stand under a cold shower for extended periods of time. The most recent article states deplorable living conditions, dog feces all over the house along with drugs. Sound like a certain agency may have possibly dropped the ball on this one. The end result was a child treated horribly eventually losing his life.

Awaiting DCFS memes.

 

[actaeon277]

I don't have a meme for a group that takes kids away and often gives them to dangerous people, or leaves them with dangerous people.

1. Why wasn't he removed from the parents the minute it was determined he had opiates in his body?

2. This is why we need the death penalty.

3. This makes me want to sit in a corner and cry.

I feel the same upto and including the corner. No child should endure these hardships

Agreed. I just don't understand how anyone does this to any child, let alone their own. It makes me sad.

The truly selfish in our world, keep their children and do this to them.

Those that have their own issues, but give up the children to those who can care for them are much less selfish.

Multiple blunt head trauma. Not surprising, but still upsetting to see it in words.

Sounds like these parents could use a good job. I think the range I belong to could use some good target holders. Granted, it's a temp position, and probably short term, but hey, I'm helpful like that.

That's too fast.
