AMBER ALERT WI - Elijah Vue, 3 year old Elijah Vue, Two Rivers, 20 Feb 2024

[tlcya]

time outs for toddler's should consist of one minute per year of age. This poor baby stood for hours in time out.

ETA and the fact that he was forced to say over and over "I'm sorry mommy" so that he never for one moment was allowed to forget that his very own mommy was the reason he was being subjected to this treatment? Unconscionable. I'm so angry over this one. Maybe because Katrina's family is all over social media making excuses for her and trying to lay all the blame on Vang, when in my view, they both murdered this baby, maybe because his sweet little eyes speak to me from his photos.

The mother allegedly said she wanted Vang to punish the boy for his bad behavior, which included not being potty trained, according to authorities.

Well dang, whose responsibility was it to teach him? Definitely not his own mother...she's too busy consorting with criminals and not having a job. MOO. Sorry.

RSBM: I have hate in my heart for these people. Sorry but it's true.

Me too and I’m unashamed to admit it. I’ve been on here too long not to have a tiny scar tattooed over my heart like an invisible shield for protection. I hate those people too.

What to know about Jesse Vang, the Two Rivers man charged with neglecting missing 3-year-old Elijah Vue

Jesse Vang told police he was in a relationship with Elijah Vue's mother and had been taking care of Elijah for a week before the boy went missing.

www.htrnews.com

[...]


Vang spent three years, from 2018 to 2021, imprisoned on a federal conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine charge.

[...]

... After his imprisonment, he was on supervised release, which was supposed to last until 2025.
[...]

Could substance use have played a part in this? Nothing is communicated except this meth charge for the bf. Which really makes me wonder. I mean, come on, falling asleep for 3 HOURS at 8 AM with a very active toddler just out of the blue randomly? Yes toddlers exhaust you to the point that you would just collapse and sleep but for 3 full hours and he wont hear anything and the kid wont wake him? Highly suspicious imho.


JMOO

 

[Susikatze]

I wonder why she's on SSDI?

intellectual disability?
end stage renal disease?
terminal cancer?
uncontrolled seizures?
schizophrenia?
etc.

Curious. At her age it must be something serious.

Disabilities caused by addiction? Bf served a meth charge and there are hardly couples where only one partner uses. The whole case makes me so angry.

Jmoo

She is worse than him in my opinion, and that's saying something. He is a no doubt about it, but he is just some guy. Elijah is her baby, and she willingly handed him over to that monster knowing what he was going to be subjected to, she sanctioned it. The torture of her beautiful little boy.

Yep, he is scum but she is worse.

You can't get Disability for addictions. If you use a substance, you have to show that you would be disabled in the absence of the substance in order to qualify.

It does happen that a person damages themselves so badly with alcohol, or other substances, that they would still be disabled if sober. That is sad.

Shortened for focus.

Uh... excuse me? It was HER responsibility to potty train Elijah and SHE failed him!!!! SHE is the one that should have been punished with "cold water" for not giving Elijah the proper potty training. It's my opinion that it wasn't because he was difficult to train, it's because SHE didn't do a good job at it! I posted upthread that when I was 15-16 I potty trained a child I was babysitting (my first and only experience doing that), and the mother undid all that by ignoring the child!

And Jesse should be punished with "cold water" for getting mad that Elijah "overfilled his diaper when it was JESSE'S responsibility to change his diaper!!! Jeez. What is WRONG with these 2???? Why is everything the fault of a TODDLER and now with them?!?!?

Sorry for all the yelling/caps. I'm angry about this.

She’s on SSDI and has no assets so the amount might as well be a million dollars. (Unless she has someone to help her).

I had read that Katrina was of limited means but not that she is on SSDI. If so, I am curious as to the reason. Did that info come from her hearing? Could you point me to a link or start point about this info? TIA

I heard it at this court hearing when they are discussing how KB would be unable to post the cash bond

Maybe he was sold.

Maybe he was sold.

I've seen this possibility come up in numerous threads during my time here. I think it's appealing as an alternative because it means a child that can't take care of themselves might still be alive. I have yet to see it actually be the case that that is true. The only thread I've actually seen where a child was sold, a mother (who hadn't had custody of her for pretty much her whole life) sold her five year old for a drug debt. The buyer took the child to a hotel, where he raped and murdered her.

At this point, I'm not expecting anything. I have hope they'll find Elijah, but I don't think he's alive.

MOO

I cannot even think about this…
