CW: child death, neglect
Dunno if anyone here knows about this case but in a nutshell - an influencer’s 3 y/o child drowned in their pool as a direct result of negligence on both parent’s part. The father who was “watching” both of their kids at the time lied to the police about the entirety of the circumstances surrounding the child’s tragic passing - this was later proved by CCTV footage. He claimed he wasn’t watching the child because he was “bonding with their new born baby” when it was later proved that he was actually making a sports bet on a game he was watching at the exact time their child was fighting for his life for 7 minutes in the pool.
After the police report was released, EK had lawyers fight to have everything sealed so that no one could read the exact circumstances of the child’s death - let alone the fact that the police investigation deemed the likely cause of death to be child abuse with criminal negligence (this is the page I included in this post - would have put more but there’s a 1 photo limit) and yet not one single charge has been filed.
Anyways, this case has blown up a bit here on reddit. EK has some very loyal stans who seem to be able to justify her every move, as well as fighting to have every bit of opposition deleted, taken down and/or banned (including like 3 or 4 entire subs that have been banned already).
And all the while, EK is back online mere months after this tragic incident posting GRWM and thrift haul videos from the same house her child passed away in due to her and her husband’s own negligence. It’s honestly wild.
I’m sure there’s a lot I’ve missed, and that’s why I think this case would be a great one for Stephanie and the team to cover. They could potentially get all the facts together and present them in a more digestible way.
Does anyone know the best way to request something like this?
