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

[AgeofAquaruis]

Illinois is one of the strictest states as far as the children go. Child services has always been a priority to our government. If dcfs had been contacted previously, I could almost guarantee that it was followed up on, it probably just went on to be ‘unfounded’

I’m just hoping one day we can solve this homeschool crisis.

Yet here we are again. Neighbors made calls,child is dead, and this entity denies it.

Couldn't the home be a crime scene because he was abducted? Why are we assuming so soon, am I missing something?

Investigators said there were no signs of an abduction.

Neighbors say there are fights that happen here that have spilled into the streets from this home. Police have been at this home repeatedly according to neighbors.

Wow. Another stellar job by the Child and family services,and the courts.
SMH. Because everyone but the children have rights.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Has it been said where and when the last place Andrew was seen by someone other than by his parents?
TIA

I tend to agree with you. I just can’t figure out how financial difficulties can lead to harming a child... Of course, I can’t seem to wrap my head around anything that would justify hurting a child. So senseless. MOO

Millstone.

Learning now the mom and her husband lived in the home with their two children. Hearing from neighbors that the kids would be left in the car in the driveway during the winter, the husband and wife were arguing inside

Here’s a video report from local Fox 32 reporter, Tia Ewing, (3 hours ago).

She said the mother has 3 children and Andrew (AJ) has a 3-year-old younger brother. The reporter said near the beginning of the video, that everyone she’s talked to “in the public” have not seen Andrew since last week.

Where's Andrew?

Just seeing the headline makes you shiver. It's easy enough to make an educated guess at the outcome.
This baby needs a miracle.

Not found yet, but it doesn’t look good.

This sounds like an all too familiar story. I hope I am wrong. I agree with others though that I think we know where this is most likely headed. Heartbreaking.

The home has been declared a crime scene. Parents at police station being questioned. Dogs hit on trunk of car. Sorry. It hasn't been stated he's dead. Sadly though this story has been played out all too often. Only victim, perp,time,and place being different.
I would love to be proven wrong.
MOO

No sign of an abduction

No word/pleas from family/parents.

no brainer....

Am I allowed to name the parents?
Both have criminal records including retail theft and domestic battery.

Violence in the home, financial problems, a missing child. Put it all together and what do you come up with more than likely happened?

24 hours after he was reported missing, whereabouts of 5-year-old Andrew Freund of Crystal Lake remain unknown

The whereabouts of a 5-year-old Crystal Lake boy remained unknown Friday, a day after he was reported missing. No new information about the search for the boy was reported by police Friday morning, but late Thursday authorities were checking Crystal Lake Beach and a neighbor’s pool.

The boy, Andrew “AJ” Freund, was last seen at bedtime, about 9 p.m., on Wednesday in the family home in the first block of Dole Avenue. After waking up Thursday morning and being unable to find him in the home, Andrew’s parents reported the boy missing, police said in a news release.

The FBI was called in Thursday to help in the search. FBI agents who specialize in missing children cases are working closely with Crystal Lake detectives, police said.

Authorities were seen coming out of the family home Thursday carrying bags. Police dogs also were at the scene. Dole Avenue was blocked off by police vehicles.

Neighbors said they saw the family leave the home with police around noon.
