Oct 25 2008Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew still missing

1025_julian_king_ap_00.jpg

Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew Julian King (above) is still missing after a fatal shooting that left the mother and brother of the Oscar-winning actress dead in their Chicago home. A suspect, William Balfour, has been arrested and reportedly was married to Julian's mother (Jennifer's sister) at one point. She is also believed to be missing. The AP reports:

Records from the Illinois Department of Corrections show Balfour, 27, is on parole and spent nearly seven years in prison for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possessing a stolen vehicle. Public records show one of Balfour's addresses as the home where Donerson and Jason Hudson were shot.
The Cook County medical examiner's office said autopsies for Donerson and Jason Hudson were pending.
Balfour's mother, Michelle, said her son had been married to Hudson's sister, Julia, for several years, but they were separated. She also said Donerson had ordered him to move out of the family's home last winter.

Reports from neighbors say this is a domestic abuse situation that reached a boiling point and is basically a shitty deal all around. Hopefully, Julian's mother fled with him to safety, and there's a light at the end of this tunnel for Jennifer Hudson. Before I return to bashing celebs and penis jokes, scope out the pic of Julian above and, if you live in Chicago, give the police a holler if you know anything that could help.

Also, here's a link to Julian's Amber Alert case.

So now FISH-ASS is a news reporter?

On a Saturday morning?

Give it up FISH-HEAD!

You are a NOBODY gossip monger with no class!

I'm praying that this little boy is found safe.

I'm praying that this little boy is found safe.

its great to see you write like this...

I hope the little boy and jennifers sister is safe. Funny how this has no comments but other stuff that is not important got a billion!!

This entire story is so disgusting, this man should not be put to death but slowly tortured so he's forced to endure some of the pain that Jennifer will have to go through the rest of her life. Esp for killing that poor little boy which unfortunately I'm sure is what he did.

Hopefully he's dead. At 7 years old, he's about a year or two too young to have committed any major crimes yet, even for a mud person. Every little bit helps in preventing future crimes.

@ 8: you are a total ass. really and truly.

What a hideous story. As usual, it brings out the hideous people who have nothing better to do with their Saturday morning than add to the misery of a good family. People like the poster @8 will be amazed at how swiftly karma comes back around.

Nice to see the superfish doing what it can to help the Hudson's in their time of need. I feel terrible for Jennifer and her family. The holiday season is going to be very rough this year.

This is from Chicago, where Obama represented the district in the State Senate and later as a U.S. Senator. Does this tell you something about his leadership/legislative ability???

This is so horrible, poor Jen. I hope they find that little boy soon.

looks like the little burr head needs to lose some weight already at the age of 7. hopefully the angry jig will finish off the rest of the family.

more monkey violence. who is surprised to hear this? not me. but i always do enjoy good news in the morning. two less blue gums, now that is GOOD NEWS.

Oh god...I really really hope they find him before it's too late.
His mother too!

Poor kid hopefully he will be found safe. Odds are not good with Chicago and this area being the South Side of the city, both leading the nation in murder.

Chicago even smaller leads in murder over LA and New York.

Obama wants to do for the nation what he's done for the South Side.
Nothing.

But he'll of course have "answers" as he always does. He's a real success in running his mouth. Him and his radical allies always have "answers" on how everyone else should live and "spread the wealth around" as it's "good for everyone."

Domestic violence and kidnapping cases affect people of every race. I cannot even believe the racism on this comment board. How completely backward can a person be?

TJ, I'm pretty sure violence occurs in all districts with major cities, even the ones represented by Republicans, you ridiculous troll.

@14 Did you know you can have more in common genetically with a black person than another white person? What determines your "race" is a relatively tiny part of your genetic make up.

Race is purely a social construct.

Embrace science!

First of all, #8 - you're a scumbag and fuckers like you deserve the death penalty for being a racist fuckhead. Matter of fact, go turn on the gas and stick your fuckin head in the oven you vile cunt.

Second of all - 130 lbs at 7 years old? Thats a big fuckin kid.

TJ - you too are a moron. Obama cant possibly prevent all crimes from happening, no one can. Its retarded to even bring him into this.

130 lbs at 7 years old? He wasn't kidnapped. He went to live at KFC.

FBI murder rate (per capita), latest stats, by city:

Chicago: 20th
Phoenix: 21st.

So forget about finding a partisan political angle in this.

Wow, thank you for being serious and trying to help her find him. I feel so sorry for Jennifer, my prayers go out to that entire Family.

#8 - Kari or whoever you are, that's a terrible thing to say, hopefully in your next life you'll be black and see what it's like to live with racism like that...

Number 8, Nobody takes you seriously. I see your stupid comments all over this site and you are a truly sad and angry little person. Number 10, are you kidding me! Obama is responsible for this??? Thank God you have the internet to hide behind and spew this utterly ridiculous nonsense. I would prefer laughing at you in public, which I'm sure you are used to anyway.When Obama is President, take a page from Alex Baldwin and leave the country. It's idiots like you that will never bring this country forward. You now may proceed to calling me some childish and racist names.

# 18 says: "@14 Did you know you can have more in common genetically with a black person than another white person? What determines your "race" is a relatively tiny part of your genetic make up.

Race is purely a social construct.

Embrace science!"

You are a fucking retard. Your logic is that of a downs syndrome child. There are various markers of race: skull, teeth, hair, etc. Drugs work differently on different races, which is an issue when so many blacks are prone to diabetes, and yet the tests to prove the drugs work were done mostly on whites.

Also, you fall into the same stupid trap as most other mouth breathers; just because the genetic differences are a small part of the overall make up, doesn't mean the differences are profound in their impact. News flash for you: we're not that genetically different from a fruit fly, or a chimp.

Race is not a social construct. Pretending it is makes for a lot of issues.

Did anyone check the bottom of the candy bowl for him?

Fatty fat fatso fat!

I am a fucking retard? Go and get a degree or diploma in anthropology and tell me that.

We are talking about theories here anyway, and yes you can actually have more in common with someone outside your race than someone within it.

Before you call a science graduate a 'mouth breather' go and do your own research.

(yes I'm a science graduate)

that little boy is precious, lets hope he found alive and safe

Webster is missing?

Like the doctors always say, the dark meat is fatty.

I hope they find him so that my tax money can also pay for his juvenile diabetes treatment.

26,

That has to be one of the dumbest posts I've ever seen.

Anyway, I hope the kid is found safely. Whoever killed them is obviously a VERY sick person and should get to maximum penalty...this just screams premeditated.

The comments to this post are absolutely disgusting.

I seriously think the comment boards should be taken away or frozen. I can't believe some of you people would say such horrible, hateful things when it comes to a sad post like this.

A tragedy like this happens, and still there will be ignorance. It never fails. #8 to hope a 7 year old kid is dead is horrible, and Im sure bad karma will come your way. God especially hates it when people mess with his children, because even though they may not always act like it they're angels in God's eyes. I can tell there are many of hopless souls on here that don't believe in God. GO GET SAVED PEOPLE! It really isn't a joke. All in the end it doesn't matter...the saved will have the last laugh no matter what the devil worshipers believe.

Kahlee,
You should probably look into getting your money back on that "science" degree. There are differences between "races". Period. Just look at the NFL and tell me that the ratio of black players to white is the same as black to white non-athletes.
That being said, "race" should have no bearing on things that really matter.
Didn't someone say something about "not [being] judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character?"

Tell me about #35 it is rediculous. Not only are some of the comments disguisting, but the people posting them are even more disguisting. Devil worshipers...they must be.

If something did happen to this child, and God knows I hope not, he will at least be able to escape the hatred of this world. While everyone else is on this shitty planet due to evil people he will be in heaven and very happy. Seriously though many whites and blacks need therapy.

# 37 - I did not pay for my college education, thanks to affirmative action and quoatas.

Kahlee Im sure you know what you're talking about girl. Lay persons always think they know something they have little or no clue about. Truth is less than 1% of DNA is responsible for differences in one human to the next regardless of race.

You find the father of this boy, you will find the killer and the kidnapper. Right now he is probably SUSPECT #1.

Jeff you should probably understand what the meaning of 'social construct' actually is. It is philisophical. as in the actual concept of race. Not that race does not exist at all. Please just go educate yourself BROADLY in the sciences and humanities.

Since when did this site turn to high-brow concerned reporting?

Go back to writing about tits and ass, dickhead. When I want serious reporting I'll go to an informative website. When I want to read shit, I'll come here. Please try to keep you shit separate from other stuff.

Kahlee (#40)
It would piss me off to think that I got into college, got a job, etc just because they were forced to fill a quota! Quotas are discrimination with a different name. People should be admitted into school or get a job because they are QUALIFIED for it! Now, if an organization is allowing "race" to factor into their decision, I am in favor of hammering them into the ground.
As for that 1% you and #41 talk about... that does make a difference. It is OK to be different. Really. Men and women are different. its OK!
What is not ok is to allow the biological/genetic differences to factor into hiring or admissions decisions.
And just to throw in a little irony... #41 (SueMe) wrote "Lay persons always think they know something they have little or no clue about." Turns out I'm not a "lay person". So who has "little or no clue" now?

Kahlee sayz: "Jeff you should probably understand what the meaning of 'social construct' actually is." Let me guess; you're black. Because that sentence is woefully constructed and lacking, well, the second half. Great education you recieved on the backs of the taxpayers.

"It is philisophical." So, according to your brilliant insight, the meaning of social construct is philisophical, which itself means "Of, relating to, or based on a system of philosophy." Big word for a little brain. Unfortunately, you need to look up the word "subject" as it relates to sentence construction.

"as in the actual concept of race. Not that race does not exist at all." Actually, the actual concept of race is based on groups of people living in different parts of the world, under different conditions, breeding with each other, and acquiring distinct characteristics.

its difficult to explain things in philisophical terms because you are talking about abstract thought.
I don't want to get into an argument about this on a post about some poor kid, but even the established scientific community will question matters such as race.
When you challenge a racist by saying race is a social construct you're saying, what is race? Where do you draw these invisible boundries were one ethnicity becomes another? Its not so much that race doesn't exist, its that it is a not a cut and dry completley flawless system that exists independently of human thought. to some extent yes, we created it.

I can't beleive I'm writing all this on The Superficial. Jesus.

Oh yeah and I'm not black I'm white British. And now I'm going to get shit for that too.

What a horrible and depressing event.

british. your country is being taken over by muslims and homos. deal with your own problems first.

oh yeah, i hope the little colored boy is dead.

yes homos and muslims. and also Osama bin laden lives with the queen and is gay with prince phillip.

,amu friends I met on ===mysportsdate.com===say What a hideous story. As usual, it brings out the hideous people who have nothing better to do with their Saturday morning than add to the misery of a good family.

Kahlee, let me guess, you are just out of school (paid for, apparently, but your betters) and you enjoy spouting the babble you were force-fed by your liberal teachers.

Here's a quick lesson at no charge:

Race is not philisophical. People's reaction to race may enter the realm of philosophy. Science does not debate race. Mixed race folks are mixed race, not too difficult a concept to grasp. And, much like with animals, neither side of the mixed races will ever embrace a mixed race person as their own. It comes down to genetics. Also, you should realize that the fact that the differences between blacks and whites is a small portion of the overall genetics, that small part is, quite obviously, actually tremendously significant.

Look up the definition of keystone. Then perhaps comprehension will begin. BTW; fix your teeth, and thank the good ol' US of A for making sure you don't speak German.

Hi Kahlee
if race is unimportant (and I agree), then why quotas? And please don't say that they are to correct the mistakes of the past. Two wrongs don't make a right.
BTW, what quota did you fill with your "affirmative action and quoatas?"
Also by the way, it is "quotas" not "quoatas" and "philosophical" not "philisophical ". Yes, I realize that correcting spelling on a post like this, but you've misspelled them more than once. If you are going to pass yourself off as educated, at least use a spell checker.
And I couldn't care less if you are white, black, or green, British, Canadian, or Ethiopian.

Oh god Mos listen I am upper class British and my parents paid for my education. You've already shown that you're racist so you've just undermined any kind of credibility in your arguments. Also you said 'Folks'.

If you can't get your head round friendly anonymous pop science discourse without having a fucking stress hernia then you need to calm down.

whats affirmative action? I'm British we don't have that here.

haha I'm also dyslexic

haha I'm also dyslexic. Also post #40 was not me. proof is I'm British and I don't know what affirmative action is.

Aaaaand my teeth are perfectly straight and white. Actually they are nicer than my American boyfriend's teeth.

Good night y'all

What's wrong with you people? The Hudson family is grieving, show some respect! Jennifer and Julia, my prayers go out to your family. I am praying that your nephew/son is returned home unharmed.

wow shaun, I bet jennifer and Julia are reading the superficial to help them get through these difficult times and they really appreciate the well wishes of a total stranger on a celebutard blog. you get a medal for a totally gay post.

But seriously....what about those tits?

Regarding quotas:

Right now, there are more women in American universities. As a result, many colleges are putting in quotas to balance out the male/female ratios. So more qualified women are being denied admission, while less qualified men are welcomed.

Just food for thought.

While I hate black and hispanic gangbangers and their attitudes, I, as a white person, am fully aware that the dirtiest race of all time, In terms of historic dirt done, is the white race, and I'm always amazed that white supremacists imagine they are less dirty than other races when it is so factually apparent anywhere you look.

There is so much white trash in this country it is beyond belief. Redneck, ugly, smelly, uneducated, baby-making teen white trick hos everywhere you look. And yeah, I'm white. Humans in general are dirty face it. We are a filthy animal, both in terms of how ugly we are and more importantly how we act. Just remember, supremacists, white men kidnap more children in vans than any other ethnic group by a longshot. Black men and hispanics at least generally get laid. Tons of white men cannot.
Jennifer Hudson is being dealt a really terrible hand, and people need to help not hinder her.

"Race is purely a social construct."

Actually Kahlee, society is a purely racial construct. Chew on that for a while.

"Embrace science!"

I do, perhaps you should do the same. There's lot of info out there if you open your mind. Try searching up The Bell Curve.

WHO CARES!?!? Really. Do you really care? If it was between This kid, his grandmother and uncle or you, would you say "take me instead"? It's not a race thing, or an American thing, it's a human thing. People kill other people because it's natural. We feel threatened either physically, emotionally, we kill. It's not a big deal. So this kid might be dead. Thousands of children die every day. Who cares? Stop with the moral thinking. It's not real. It's your ego telling you what society has told you forever. Killing bad. Loving good. Blah,blah, blah. The world should throw away the rules and let happens what happens. A starving white guy will kill another white guy for food just as fast as a black would kill a black. Human emotions and needs have no rules or boundaries. There is no god or great overseer. People kill people to fill a need or to defend themselves. What ever the need is, people will find a reason to kill each other. Thats the way it is and should be. Anarchy bitches...WHY SO SERIOUS?

I'm not sure how this turned into a debate about race-- YET AGAIN-- simply because this little boy happens to be black. Did we forget that his grandma and uncle have been murdered?
Anyway, with all the money she'd made, I don't understand why Jennifer Hudson hadn't yet moved them to the burbs or a nicer part of Chicago. I mean I'm not at all placing the blame on her because this is sadly not uncommon on any of the news reports here in Chicagoland, but it's just unfortunate that this had to happen. Nobody deserves this, no matter what race they are or how overweight they are.

The internet (or at least thesuperficial.com comments pages) will always be the refuge of the cowardly bigot.

the sooner they find this fat kid dragged behind a truck the happier i will be

Is this site turning into a free rein circus for hate posts? Maybe The Superficial should consider filtering this kind of ignorance!?! We needn't poison the minds of our younger & more susceptible readers. It should DEFINITELY be prevented so that these kinds of bigots have zero impact.

Where's the love people?

the only ignorance i see is the people who think blacks are human, much less our equal. all races are superior to platterlips. every single one. blacks are poorer and commit more crime than anyone. there are more fatherless black ape children than any other race. blacks are less educated and more likely to do drugs. black pride my ass, it doesn't exist.

WOW.... U need a hug! lol

Ok, dumbfucks. Obviously #8 wasn't me, can't you tell the difference by now between me and a fucking psychpathic troll? God I have been posting on this site for over 3 yearsa now. I'm a bit weird and silly, but not a hateful racist. Jesus, and yeah, the rest of you need help..

praise jesus!

WTF does race have to do with this little boy n his family getting murdered? Im not sure where this is coming from? I hope this poor family gets answers!!
