IL - Andrew Freund, 5, Crystal Lake, 17 April 2019 *ARRESTS* *mother guilty* #5

[AgeofAquaruis]

They did a Jailhouse interview with the "mother" of A.J., I hope he is happy & at peace in heaven now free from any worries or pain.
A.J. Freund's weeping drug addict mother says she would 'rather kill herself than hurt her family' | Daily Mail Online

Wow amazing how everyone but her is evil. It's everyone else's fault, including sweet little A.J. being defiant. Poor, poor Joann has nobody to talk to. Poor Joann is a victim. She makes me sick. I hope charges are filed against the Poor excuse of a child protector who saw the bruises,and sealed A.J.s fate. They deserve to be put behind bars too. Do not pass GO, DO Not collect $200.
MOO

Love the part where she admitted to taking drugs while pregnant, adding that it is something she cannot take back, (alluding to the fact that she knows it was harmful) and then in the VERY next sentence says she would "never hurt her children"

So...the prenatal diet of drugs, the mounds of dog poop covering every square inch of that house and reporting her son missing 9 days later were.......what? Just minor lapses in judgement, lazy housekeeping and forgetfulness?

Even jailed and "sober" this woman is incapable of realizing or admitting to how her actions and choices were terrible 100% of the time and caused great harm to the entire household. Even if we remove the murder from the equation, everything else still remains terrible; a result of many terribly harmful decisions over a number of years.

I wouldn't trust this woman with a houseplant.

The clincher is her lamenting over it getting worse for her in jail. Well Sssschadenfreude. That's ZERO compared to what poor little A.J. suffered.

This absolutely disgraceful. Thankfully, these case workers are being sued.

Ooooh Desk Duty how magnanimous of them to place those faliures on desk duty. SMH. I can't even. Are they for real. Seriously. That's the best they can muster. It's as if they're dealing in dollar store merchandise,and not children's lives. Pardon me but The WTGDF?????????????

Even with "Outline" - I can not access this article. Maybe it has something about the next "child" hearing?!

Chicago Tribune - We are currently unavailable in your region

a 10% synopsis would be great!

Oops - I see it doesn't give a link. It's in the Chicago Tribune if someone can find the article?
