TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser has broken her social media silence following the May drowning of her three-year-old son.
Trigg Chapman Kiser died May 18 after he was found in their family’s backyard pool six days earlier.
Since then, Kiser has maintained her silence while it remained a possibility that her husband, Brady — who was home at the time of the drowning — could face child abuse charges. It has since been announced that he will not be charged.
Now, Kiser is speaking out about the “void that no family should ever have to endure.”
“Loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words,” her statement began. “I never thought we would experience grief in this way or the pain of losing him so suddenly.”
“I take full accountability as Trigg’s mother, and I know I should have done more to protect him.”
Kiser acknowledged that the family’s pool did not have a safety fence, a feature that could have spared her son’s life.
“It’s something I will never overlook again,” she said.
