I wonder if we'll learn anything from the status hearing today? Poor AJ didn't deserve to have this lowlife parents, no child should have to endure abuse.

Demonstration Planned During Hearing For A.J. Freund’s Parents, Charged With His Murder

CHICAGO (CBS) — A group of activists plans a demonstration at the McHenry County Courthouse on Tuesday, when the parents of 5-year-old A.J. Freund are due in court on murder charges. The group is seeking changes at the state’s child welfare agency for not doing more to protect the slain boy.

I won't be at rest until both of these monsters are behind bars for as long as possible.

I have a feeling AF is blaming this all on JC and is working with the prosecution for a reduced sentence. It's such a shame that nobody was there to protect this innocent child.

This baby needs to be as far away from her birth mother as absolutely possible. Hopefully the "right" thing is going to be done for this child. No more FU's.

Give this child the life she deserves.

MOO

Has anyone been able to read the NWHerald's article from 3 days ago about paternity test results? I know there have been several times others can read their articles but I can't and vice versa.

Ita.
And we know from past cases -- here and elsewhere -- that some stepdads/boyfriends seem to have trouble ever bonding with the bio-mom's children.

TIA!

Andrew Freund Sr is the Father of the 2 boys.

Thank you stratospheric!

Tbh, Andrew Freund Sr was more of a 'sperm donor' than Father.
