I hope and pray that little baby G will grow up in a healthy and loving environment with her brothers. That's all I can say about this. What a mess.

I pray that this newborn baby girl will get to have the love and happiness that little AJ never had. Judge Sharon Prather is a criminal's best friend, so I'm not surprised he got a slap on the wrist. Thank goodness she's retiring.

Unfortunately, I can think of $68,000 reasons why he might try.

I hope not, it would be nice for someone to do the right thing for the kids and to keep the remaining little ones together. I've also been concerned about it, especially if he thinks that custody would allow him access to some of the money from the fundraiser. MOO

It's confusing to me, but the wording makes it seem like it was already sold and they're just dragging it out in court, stalling and buying time. If it was sold, I feel bad for the buyer who is now caught up in this, too.

It was reported earlier that the house was sold at auction in February and that they were supposed to be out by the first of April. I'm assuming they got the eviction notice soon after the sale and that they were basically squatting and the buyer would have to go through the whole legal process...

It's very likely that they know many people who are locked up and I'm sure word spread quickly through the jail. This is a very small-town area, and while most people here are good, decent family-oriented folks, there is a small encroaching element of criminals on the fringes (most crime here is...

I am so sad about all of this. I love our community for trying to help the kids, and for coming together for justice, but this is pretty devastating.

There are programs through LIHEAP and even through Comed or Nicor to keep your heat on through the winter here. There are also churches that offer charity, the townships have hardship grants, and the Illinois Food Bank operates food pantries. They literally have no excuse to make those kids...

Here's a better link, the article runs down some of the reports. Police called to Freund's Crystal Lake house multiple times in past 5 years, reports show | Northwest Herald

5 years of police reports from home of missing Crystal Lake boy | Northwest Herald Poor kids. Sure says a lot that this is what the police and media are focusing on right now.

That is a difficult read, but absolutely unsurprising to anyone who has dealt with selfish, negligent addicts. Really heartbreaking for these kids, but I hope that the older brother, the younger brother, and the unborn child can have some chance of a better life now.

It really is a peaceful and beautiful area, nearly every neighborhood has either a lake or access to the Fox River and lots of marshes in between. But in this situation, it really makes it impossible to narrow down an area to search. I think the whole community will have to be vigilant as...

There's been at least 3 suicides in Veteran's Park in the last 5 years or so. It's secluded and nearby, so it makes sense to search there first. But honestly, within an hour's drive, there are literally thousands of secluded places, from parks, wetlands, fens, river flood plains, conservation...
