Momfluencers and Consequences

[Anonymous]

People who are not influencers lose their children to drowning in pools, too.

It’s not a form of neglect. It’s an attempt at care, but the child accidentally breached the pool.

Some parents are doing laundry when this happens.
Some parents are sitting chatting with grandma when this happens.
If a mom was working (on a business, on wfh, on influencing), it’s also an accident. She would not choose her work over the life of her child.

Sounds neglectful to me.

They’re only “accidents” if they are not reasonably foreseeable. She apparently chose a good-looking pool over a safer pool. Failure to recognize the connection between having no fence and having an outcome like this is negligence.

Isn’t having her child die a bigger punishment than jail?

An influencer who makes bank selling herself as a mom and wife lifestyle content creator is suing desperately to keep the records surrounding her 3 year old son's death closed to the public. He died six days after being pulled from the backyard pool at his home, presumably having accessed the pool while not being properly supervised by his mother.

What do you think about this? Should influencers who make most aspects of their personal family lives public and make money from followers and advertising by so doing be allowed to keep private the aspects of that personal and family life which might show them in a very negative light? Aspects which would otherwise be a matter of public record?

Isn't it fraud?

I have not read the comments yet.

I think most of these people are awful but there is something about Emilie that is more innocent/genuine. I don't really lump her in with the sketchy ones. This entire situation is so sad. Her family was being stalked and harassed by 'fans' for days both online and in person when the speculation that this happened to her started coming out. And other creators were making content off of this. I don't blame her for taking these legal steps.

You are not required to have a fence if you have other precautions in place. Self closing doors, safety locks, etc. We live in AZ, don’t have gates and are in full compliance with the law. That being said we don’t have small kids. Not having gates for small kids is stupid.

Maybe it was just dad at home at the time.

Regardless, gross comment.

I work with influencers.

Influencers are citizens with the same rights as everyone else.

If something is private by law, it should not be made public just to satisfy the witch hunt.

If something is public by law, they should not get special treatment.

However, I can understand the argument that certain things should be kept private as a matter of safety. They get death threats constantly, stalkers, doxxing, very scary stuff. It’s very frightening to get a message from someone “I know you live at 456 Lane, I’m going to come kill you”.

It is especially bad for women - men are not under nearly as much scrutiny or criticism.

I heard dad was at home with him but mom was the one that called 911 because dad didn’t answer when mom called him after she saw the alert from the pool camera on her phone. Wonder what dad was doing that he missed his kid drowning AND can’t answer the phone when his wife calls?
