| Their whole spiel about teaching families about water safety and the dangers of drowning is so cringe. It has nothing to do with water safety and everything to do with not watching your child around water carefully. The pool should have had some kind of fencing or a locked gate. That is just one layer of safety. The most important thing is having eyes on your 1 year old at all times. If you can’t do that you don’t go. When my kids were that age I shadowed them constantly. That stage was so hard but you have to to keep them safe. |
I haven't liked them since the Sarh Mckenna thing either. However, it takes only 20 seconds for a 2-year old to drown. I watched my babies like a hawk around water, but when that happened, it felt like it could have been us and I mourned with them. I am sure she's not the only parent who's looked away for ~ 20 seconds. It was horrible. |
Nope sorry. Their toddler left the house at the playdate to get to the pool. #1 rule is if there’s a pool one parent has to keep eyes on the non swimmer to make sure they are in the house at all times. |
To follow up with this, we stayed at a house with a pool when we had a baby and a 3 year old non swimmer. My husband and I discussed how one of us had to have eyes on our 3 year old at all times. That was non negotiable. The baby was non mobile and in a rocker most of the time. It was not a relaxing vacation at all and I’m sure everyone thought we were nuts for shadowing our 3 year old but they were safe as a result. |
I vaguely remembered a post years ago about the drowning, but didn’t read that entire thread. This one made me read McKenna’s story. Holy crap! He wanted nothing to do with her or baby until Morgan had two miscarriages. He ignored McKenna’s communications. She went on with her life and son. Judge allowed Bode to literally rip her newborn from her arms. McKenna had to stalk their social media for months just to see him. The pain she described seeing Morgan holding “Nate.” They changed his name?! Do not know how she did it. I would have been full vigilante. Yet, she learned the laws, hired an attorney, and persevered. What woman in her right mind would lay claim to a child that wasn’t hers? The judge essentially permitted kidnapping. Was the judge removed? Do they have 50/50 custody? It should be supervised visitation, they’re deplorable people. I may be missing some info. Sorry for the rant. Now I’m thinking about the poor toddler from Afghanistan. Unbelievable injustice. |
Read the articles. McKenna named her son Sam. Bode tried to steal him away after initially telling her to get an abortion. When that failed he and Morgan insisted on calling him Nate after Bode’s dead brother. |
She’s not the mother of Neesyn or Sam, the 2 oldest kids. Morgan is a mother of 6. The first 2 kids have living mothers. |
They are rich and white, so nothing will happen to them. |
| The custody thing is indefensible for sure, and they have a lot of kids that run kind of wild, but I for one have never heard of carbon monoxide poisoning occurring outside and appreciated getting a PSA of sorts on this even if some of you think it was for attention seeking. |
You left out the part where the sleezeball intentionally sent the papers to the wrong address so McKenna never knew what was going to hit her. He got custody just because she wasn't able to respond. Disgusting. |
| You also left out the part where the sleezeballs sleezette contacted McKenna many times acting like she was a parent to this child. |
You and everyone who agrees with you should be ashamed of yourself. Regardless of how Bode and Morgan Miller treated those people, their CHILDREN did no such thing. And to even somewhat imply that because they acted badly that the death of their child and this incident are deserved is really beyond heinous. BEYOND. Those kids did nothing, and one is dead. Have some self respect and human decency. |
There but for the grace of god go I. I don't think the Millers are good people or particularly good parents, but this type of incident happens to good parents and thinking it couldn't happen to you is just what puts more kids at risk. Kids can disappear in seconds and drown very quickly. The casual nature about which people are discussing and relishing the karma that these two have endured via the DEATH OF A TODDLER is making my stomach turn. |
Omg, horrifying, this whole thread is HORRIFYING. You have become what you hate here with comments like this. |
Yep! |
