"One of the hardest lessons I carry is that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life, something I will never overlook again."
TikTok star Emilie Kiser has spoken out after the May drowning death of her three-year-old son, Trigg, saying she takes "full accountability" as the boy’s mother. She expressed regret that a permanent fence was not installed around the family’s pool
"Loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words. I’ve spent days, weeks, months trying to find them and also take the time I’ve needed to digest the loss of my baby," Kiser wrote in a post to social media for the first time since May.
"Trigg is our baby and our best friend. The light and spirit he brought into this world was right, pure, joyful, and undeniable. We miss him every second of every day and continuing forward often feels unbearable," Kiser wrote.
"I never thought we would experience grief in this way or the pain of losing him so suddenly. It’s a pain, heartache, and void that no family should ever have to endure. I take full accountability as Trigg’s mother, and I know I should have done more to protect him."
"One of the hardest lessons I carry is that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life, something I will never overlook again," she continued.
A police report revealed that Emilie’s husband, Brady, was caring for Trigg and the couple’s newborn son while Emilie was away. Brady initially told Arizona authorities that he lost sight of their older child for three to five minutes, but surveillance footage reviewed by police revealed that the boy had been outside alone for nearly 10 minutes, "and in the water for about 7 of those minutes."
Brady, after initially saying he had been inside in a chair that was facing out a window, admitted to being on the couch watching an NBC playoff game that he had placed a $25 bet on. "The combination of these factors led to drowning, and a remedy to any of the contributing circumstances could have prevented the outcome," the report stated. Authorities recommended a felony child abuse charge; however, prosecutors declined to pursue it.
