Well, as expected, Little Man had worse punishments than standing, praying, cold showers, repeating good boy. etc. He was (physically) tortured as Dr. Petska says. How is all that teaching him how to be a man? How about starting with letting him be a little boy? After all, that's what he was.

RIP Elijah, you're loved by many that have never even met you.

Wow. In the complaint, part 4 of the interview with Jesse Vang it seems that the “problems” with Elijah included his dressing up in his sister’s dresses and walking on tippy toes. I guess that meant he played like he had on high heels?

IMO that is central to the need to make Elijah a “man.” I think Katrina didn’t like him playing in “girl” clothes. JMO

The other complaints were that he was mean to his sister and sometimes stole things from the store. Allegedly.

Walking on tip toes is also more common in autistic kids than neurotypical kids. Not a diagnosis, just something to consider. It's possible that this and other neurodivergent behaviors were being "trained" out of him. Which is awful to think about as the mom of an awesome autistic kid.

Thank you for that information! Poor Elijah, tortured for being himself. Gosh I hate these people!!

So tragic. The more we read about this, it seems like someone must have known he was mistreated. Too bad there was no intervention.

“Vang said victim child 1 cannot change his diaper himself.”

Are you freaking kidding? Did Vang think Elijah should have been able to change his own diapers? I can’t understand it. IMO neither Vang nor Baur had any idea of appropriate child development. Was Elijah expected to make their morning coffee too? GMAB.

Vang’s cash bond was set Friday at $500,000 at his initial court appearance; Baur’s cash bond was set at $400,000. They remained in custody, according to online court records.

Bond increased for suspects in Elijah Vue‘s death, toddler’s grandmother speaks out

Katrina Baur and Jesse Vang, who've been held on child neglect charges since February, are now charged in the 3-year-old's death.

www.wbay.com

“Ms. Baur allowed and sent the victim to the residence for boot camp and discipline, she condoned it and allowed it to happen and left him there days before he passed away when she had the opportunity to remove him from that situation,” said Manitowoc County District Attorney Jacalyn Labre.

Community calls for accountability in Elijah Vue's death

Charges have been filed in connection to the death of Vue, who went missing on Feb. 20, 2024.

spectrumnews1.com

CC lives in the City of Manitowoc. She said she recalls being devastated by the news of Vue’s disappearance.

That’s why she said has no sympathy for Baur, Vang and the charges they face.

“Hopefully they get what they deserve,” CC said. “You shouldn’t harm a child. I don’t care if he is unruly or whatever. You don’t hurt a child ever.”

That section of the complaint stood out to me too. I wondered if LE prompted him regarding that when he said he changed Elijah's diaper once a day.. as in, well surely that's not his only diaper change all day? I was shocked that he just out and admitted to so much neglect.

 

[Rhenish]

Reading the complaint just plain sickens me. That poor 3 year old. How brutal and cruel and so, so sad.

 

[girlhasnoname]

Elijah how sad that you endured all of this pain and suffering in your short little lifetime. I'm saddened and sickened by what was done to you, and hope that these monsters never have the opportunity to harm another innocent child again.

Fly high and free Elijah.

what is infuriating is that somehow Vang and Baur felt it was HIS fault he couldn't change his own diaper and HIS fault he wasn't potty trained yet. Sweet baby.

Newly appointed lawyers ask to postpone Thursday hearing for suspect in Elijah Vue death

Jesse Vang was appointed lawyers to defend him, and they asked to postpone Thursday's scheduled preliminary hearing to give them time to prepare.

fox11online.com

Attorneys Jeffery Jensen and Joel Mogren were assigned to the case today, and they immediately filed a motion asking for a new date.

"Counsel cannot be properly prepared for the currently-scheduled preliminary hearing for the following reasons: a. Both attorneys have a scheduling conflict the afternoon of October 24, 2024, which conflicts could be worked-around if necessary; but, b. There is insufficient time for counsel to meet with Vang in the Manitowoc County Jail to discuss the case and to prepare for the preliminary hearing," Jensen wrote.
