Several neighbors say they called them about these children, DCFS denies getting this.Following.
Saw this in another msm article.
I don't think someone abducted him. And that's all I'm going to say.
What a little cutie he is.
Hope DCFS didn't drop the ball here.
They let things go too far and then they don't have choice in their minds but to try to cover it up.How can parents who are responsible for a child's "disappearance" ever think they won't get caught?

How many times have we seen this happen,and it turns out they did drop the ball?
Scent doesn't build upon scent over long periods of time. Scent fades quickly, especially on cement and even more so if it's dry and there is wind. Chicago has had very high winds the last few days, currently almost 40 mph at O'Hare. A scent trail in a residential neighborhood contaminated with other animals scents and dispersed with passing vehicle traffic is much harder for a dog to work than a scent trail in a cool damp forest, why search dogs find hikers more often than folks missing in the city as direct sunlight destroys scent VERY quickly. LE dogs working in the city usually don't get a hit looking for a lost person or a criminal unless the scent is just a few hours old. If he cut across the grass and the grass held moisture (within the last few days) and winds were light the dog MIGHT get a scent but given temps in the 70's earlier and high winds here, I doubt it.Didn’t leave the home on foot...does that mean they believe he is still somewhere in the home or he was carried out?
Curious how dogs can tell this as he’s probably been in and out of the home thousands of times and his scent is likely all over the yard, driveway, neighborhood.
Did this child go to school?I did see a reporter say neighbors hadn’t seen the boy since last week sometime. I would love to know when he was last seen outside the home. I’ve been thinking longer and they’ve just reported now because they will be seeing family for the holiday.
In Illinois, you are not required to attend Kindergarten until age six. The Senate recently (this month) passed a bill lowering it to age 5, but that would not have been in effect at the beginning of this school year. (Senate Bill 2075 would mandate that all Illinois parents enroll their 5-year-olds in kindergarten, starting in the 2020-2021 school year. The bill passed the Illinois Senate 39-16 on April 12.) Illinois Senate passes bill requiring kindergarten for all 5-year-oldsDid this child go to school?
No. He is 5 but not in school yet. His birthday misses the cut off for schoolDid this child go to school?
How can parents who are responsible for a child's "disappearance" ever think they won't get caught?
One tiny little clue for me, is them saying they never saw him after his bedtime at 9 pm.
How many of us never peek in at least once, before we go to bed, or when we get up to pee or let the dog out back? I think most parents take a quick glance at sleeping children at some point.
Maybe I am being unfair, but I thought it seemed odd.
CHICAGO (CBS) — The father of Andrew “A.J.” Freund, a 5-year-old boy missing from his Crystal Lake home for more than a day, said he’s “extremely worried,” and begged for his son to come home. Meantime, investigators said there is no indication so far that A.J. was abducted, and they are focused on the family’s home,
Speaking to reporters for the first time since A.J. went missing, his father, Andrew Freund Sr., said he has no idea where his son might be.
“We’re just extremely worried. If anybody knows anything about where Andrew Jr. is, please please contact the Crystal Lake Police Department. Let’s get him home,” he said. “A.J., please come home. We love you very much. You’re not in any trouble. We’re just worried to death. Please, please come home.”
Moments before he spoke to reporters, Andrew Freund briefly spoke with police investigators, who asked to speak to him about the investigation.
“We really need to speak with you to obtain more details so that we can find your son,” one officer told Freund.
Police also asked Freund to go back inside his home, so they could speak to him about the case, but Freund said he needed to go get his cell phone.
“I can’t. I can’t. I’ve got to take care of a few things, because I have no phone. I have no way of communicating,” Freund said. “If somebody’s trying to get a hold of me, I need to be able to receive calls. I’ve got my brother looking, all of his friends are looking. There’s no way to communicate with me right now, because I don’t have my phone.”
