Wondering on Cunningham who the "Protective Order" is for....

I wondered the same, is the protective order for her or for someone else from her? Or could it be something like a gag order? I also wonder who was subpoenaed in both cases.

Jmo.

An attorney for the estate of a slain Crystal Lake boy whose parents are charged with his fatal beating suggested Monday that a wrongful death lawsuit is likely in the case that raised disturbing questions about how Illinois’ long-troubled child welfare agency handled earlier mistreatment allegations.

During a brief McHenry County court hearing, Judge Michael Chmiel appointed the State Bank of Geneva to serve as administrator of 5-year-old Andrew “AJ” Freund’s estate. His parents, both in jail on charges that include first-degree murder, had a legal right to attend the court hearing but neither appeared.

Caseworker was making $90,000 a year. Maybe my rural town living has skewed my view if income, but local caseworkers start off making $40,000. I see he's had 20 years of experience and wage increases, but still not comparable. But he "doesn't work weekends."
JMO, MOO, etc

Just checking in, see there is a status hearing today.

 

[DearPrudence]

Andrew Freund is not the biological father of the baby born to JoAnn Cunningham while she was in jail on charges of killing their 5-year old son, AJ, it was revealed in court Monday.

Results of a paternity test showed the father of the baby girl is a 37-year-old Crystal Lake man who lived at Freund and Cunningham's home for a time.

Does anyone know about the "placement" of AJ's younger brother. That was supposed to be discussed at the hearing too.
