\u201cI take full accountability as Trigg\u2019s mother, and I know I should have done more to protect him,\u201d she wrote. \u201cOne of the hardest lessons I carry is that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life, and it\u2019s something I will never overlook again.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also said she hopes her son\u2019s story \u201cwill help prevent other children and families from suffering the same loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\nWhat happened at Emilie Kiser\u2019s house the day of Trigg Kiser\u2019s drowning?<\/p>\n
Trigg was rushed to a hospital after being pulled from the family pool on May 12. He died six days later. Kiser\u2019s husband, Brady, was watching the young boy<\/a> and the couple\u2019s newborn baby that day while she was out with friends.<\/p>\n
Brady Kiser reportedly said he was distracted by the baby and lost sight of the older boy for several minutes before finding him in the pool.<\/p>\n
The Chandler Police Department submitted the case to Maricopa County Attorney\u2019s Office for review in July and recommended that Kiser be charged with one count of child abuse.<\/p>\n
However, MCAO chose not to pursue charges<\/a> due to there being no reasonable likelihood of a conviction.<\/p>\n
How popular is Emilie Kiser on social media?<\/p>\n
Kiser grew her social media following by sharing content about things like parenting, fashion and her daily routines. She has nearly 6 million combined followers on TikTok and Instagram.<\/p>\n
Until Thursday, her last posts were made the day of the drowning incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cLoss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words. I\u2019ve spent days, weeks, months trying to find them and also take the time I\u2019ve needed to digest the loss of my baby,\u201d Kiser wrote in her silence-breaking message.<\/p>\n
She went on to thank her family and followers for their support during \u201cthese extremely tough times.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kiser has been sharing details about her personal life online since 2021. She said her approach will change following Trigg\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always been my authentic self on social media and tried my best to share my everyday life honestly, while also being mindful of what I didn\u2019t choose to share,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI now have seen through this tragedy how relationships online lack boundaries, especially in protecting children\u2019s privacy. Moving forward, I will be establishing more boundaries with what I share online.\u201d<\/p>\n
