I got rid of our mirror when i had the baby. It’s clearly dangerous. And she didnt anchor it. Thats just nonsensical. But im sure she will enjoy all the attention to her page now considering she showed a picture of them all while he was hospitalized. Totally gross.
So you were neglectful parents. No need to publicize it. This is the kind of stuff you should keep behind closed doors.
How horrific! We can see from the video that you really did do everything to keep your children from harms way which is why this no doubt makes the accident even more horrible.
So suspicious
I always hated this kind of mirrors put it on the wall or don't have it at all
Who takes a picture of EMS working on their child? Oh right, "influencers."🙄
Always make sure a home is completely child proof when children are in it. Completely.
poor bub 😔
This is negligence from the part of the parents. They must be investigated and held to account.
hmmmmm
I feel sorry for the loss but..she is a "parenting" influencer!!! She should have known if she wants to go on the internet and "influence" how people parent!! You never leave ANYTHING that can topple over in a position to topple over! It's that simple!! I have said it before and I will say it again. The internet has brought us to the point where we are breeding a generation of idiots!!
SO sorry for your loss . RIP Little One .
My heart breaks for you ..thank you for sharing
Rip Little boy
I am so so sorry for your loss. You are so brave to share this. May God give you all strength.
I can't 😢
Poor baby and poor parents. The guilt they will have to live with 💔. Thank you for sharing so that parents around the world can be more diligent in baby proofing their houses. It was an accident. Please don’t drown yourselves in guilt.
💔
I only take advice from a paid professional especially if it involves children. We have seen to many times people who have no training or degrees. They end up in handcuffs
Aw baby🎉❤
Sad
“ I have thick skin so nothing you say is gonna break me. My biggest fear came true. Nothing scares me anymore.” This broke my heart🥺
So sorry for your loss!!! RIP little one!!!
Big mirror standing loose which can topple anytime even if the baby was not involved playing with it. She have 2more babies right. They could be the victim too. Yhis is sheer negligence and should be investigated properly. Cause I still want to believe humanity still exists and for this so called social media influencers views is not everything.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have a huge mirror like this. Omg it's not anchored. I have a 16 month old. I'm anchoring it or giving it away now. 😮
😢❤️
she should put in large playpen. he still 1 year old.
Rest in peace sweet baby. Hopefully this will save other children. Take no chances with anything heavy in the home. Little toddlers are much stronger than we think. Brave parents for sharing this.
I’m so so so so very sorry. I am in tears over this for the last two days. This is the absolute worst nightmare and you do not deserve it nor any negativity from others. We have a huge heavy leaning mirror in our bedroom. Not anchored. I’m going to figure out what we need to do because this literally could happen to anyone 💔
Rest in paradise sweet boy ❤
It could've been prevented. 😢💔 poor sweet angel.
😢
So sad but shes right it was a perfect storm – one incident lead to the other – tragic I hope the world empathizes with this family instead of terrorizing them.
I am so so sorry for your loss
Common sense sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry this happened to your baby, but how on earth could you not take the minimal extra precaution of just securing it to wall? 😢
Que Deus conforte a familia! Muito triste!😢 Tão lindo. Receba o abraço de todos os brasileiros. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Well, there's a reason mirrors like those and tall bookshelves are usually bolted against the wall, especially if you have small kids in the house.
Maybe this is a good example of what not to have in a home especially around small children less is more. But I'm sure they didn't see this coming but is good for them they are sharing so it doesn't happen to others. Very unfortunate accidents can happen to anyone I hope they can recover from this trajic and painful experience 🙏
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔! Prayers for this family 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
