IL IL - Andrew Freund, 5, Crystal Lake, 17 April 2019

[jellybean96]

They tried fighting for him,they have the oldest grandson.
Made reports to DCSF that got flat out ignored, or covered up. Something stinks to high heaven,and it's not the grandparents.
MOO

Oh, I agree they are not the guilty parties here. I just hadn't seen them publicly talking about what they know about mom + dad, or anything like that. Usually extended family will beg for info, etc.

 

[jellybean96]

Cunningham is an attorney and stepfather? Who is AJ's bio dad? And did Cunningham the lawyer and AJ's mom live in the reportedly nasty house?

Cunningham is the mom. She does not work. Freund is the dad, and an attorney who cannot practice at this time. Cunningham (mom) and Freund (dad) lived together in the filthy house, per that court document. But they were not married.

 

[BlinkOfAnI]

What happened to her press conference?

Wouldn't be shocked if it was canceled or rescheduled because of health/pregnancy issues .

 

[jellybean96]

Oh. I thought father said he talked to the assistant principal of the school and they hadn't seen children (?).

I believe he was just checking with the asst. principal to see if anyone had seen him on the school playground. Not because AJ was in school actually.

Like he called the school or went and looked?

Any chance you have a link saying father can't practice? I have only seen he is on judicial probation but can still practice. TIA!

She probably had to cancel it to head out to Wisconsin for some prescription medication.

 

[jellybean96]

Like he called the school or went and looked?

per page 44 here on web sleuths (there is the entire 911 call transcribed:

Dispatcher: Do you know where he might have went?

Father: No. We've canvassed the neighborhood, went to the local park, umm... the local gas station down here where we sometimes take him to buy treats. I spoke with the assistant principal over there at the school where the park is and they haven't seen him or any other child. I have no idea where he would be.

Thanks. So no telling if he went or called.

Illinois Supreme Court disbars 11, suspends 36 in latest disciplinary filing | Illinois State Bar Association

Here is says he has been suspended. I have seen TV clips where they say he isn't currently practicing.

 

[Boodles]

Oh. I thought father said he talked to the assistant principal of the school and they hadn't seen children (?).

This is what dad said on 911 call. He did not answer the Q about school, but he was interrupted when answering the Q. But AJ had not yet begun attending school.

“Dispatcher: What time was he supposed to be at school?

Father: ... I had a doctor's appointment this morning, when I got back from the doctor's appointment and I checked in on him to say good morning and he wasn't there so that would have been -

Dispatcher: What time was that?

Father: About between 8:15, 8:30”

Yes, it is theolder child. The complaint starts with incidents in 2012, continuing til 2013. This child is lucky he was never returned. He would have been old enough to give a statement and confirm the abuse.

 

[Simply Southern]

What happened to her press conference?

It may have been in the best interest of the attorney not to speak about the outcome of the custody hearing. Jmho

 

[Whiteorchids]

This drug-addicted attorney in question is not likely playing golf with anyone.

I was talking about others as an example obviously not this guy. Lol

TY! The media must be saying it both ways. The ARDC shows he suspended but was given probation and could practice on 1/11/16. Confusing!

Missing Crystal Lake Boy: 911 Call From Family Released

So the Father says quite a bit in this phone call...

Father: "He went to bed at about 9:30"

The Father does not state he "put" AJ to bed. Or tucked him in. I think that is significant. Like AJ is responsible for putting himself in bed.

The same thing about "pajamas", it doesn't sound like AJ was in PJ's, but just his regular clothes.

The dispatcher phrased everything differently. But reading what the Father says, verbatim, is very telling. INMO.

It seems like, unless one of the parents says something, there isn't a lot of evidence here, no body, they can say he wandered off...unless LEO has more evidence.

No decision reached today on DCFS hearing regarding "A" , A.J. Freund’s younger brother after DCFS placed the brother in protective custody. Hearing will pick up next week.

Edited to remove younger brother name and replaced with "A"

I would believe what the bar association writes over media.

Choice of words seems odd JMO.

They would be fools to award the mother her son back with her abusive past and son presently missing.
