Bode and Morgan Miller's Kids - bad luck

[Anonymous]

Read up on the Just World Hypothesis (an irrational psychological bias).

[Anonymous]

Their children did not deserve to get sick or die but they, Bode and Morganz are horrible people for what they did to Sara McKenna.

They're horrible people. Full stop.

How is a child having a seizure the parent’s fault? I agree with you they aren’t good people, but this isn’t a good example.

They had a perfectly healthy daughter who died because she was unsupervised at a pool party and drowned. If she had a seizure while being resuscitated is not the point.

If they had paid for a babysitter that day or simply watched their kid, she would be alive.

It wasn’t even a pool party. It was a visit to a family - a playdate. How hard os it to watch your toddler??

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.

They didn't look away, they were nowhere near the kid.

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.

BECAUSE OF NEGLECT. I'm not going to say anything nice about people who neglected their children.

Omg, horrifying, this whole thread is HORRIFYING. You have become what you hate here with comments like this.

I see their publicist has found the thread via google alerts.

The toddler literally left the house. How does that happen on a playdate in someone else’s home?

You’re making it seem like the kid opened the door and walked 3 blocks away and fell in a pool. Morgan was in the kitchen and the child had been in the attached family/living room (I think articles said it was an open layout). The child opened a french door from the family room/living room and the pool was right there attached to the patio.

No idea where Bode was, but Morgan was provably less than 20’ from her daughter and didn’t see her open the door. I’m sure they didn’t except the backdoor to be unlocked but even if it was, they still didn’t expect their child to fall into a pool and drown.

How do you know this for sure?

If you go to a house with a pool, first you check yourself to make sure doors are locked and can’t be opened by kids before they are out of your sight. You sit near them on the play date, you don’t stay in the kitchen gabbing while your 19 month old wanders off in someone’s home unattended. I learned basic pool safety with kids when I was a teenager and babysat for a family that had a pool. The mom was neurotic about pool safety. One thing she did was always lock the back door that opened to the pool. It was a lock that was at the top of the door that only an adult could open. She always also made sure the pool gate was shut and latched. She would double check it as soon as kids arrived at her house.

Also, kids that young should never be out of your sight.

Agree, Morgan was sipping tea with her neighbor and did not have eyes on her the whole time. And it was probably several minutes, maybe 4 min, not 20 seconds that she did not have eyes on the toddler.

Not a chance most people do this.

Also, why do you keep calling this a play date? This was an evening gathering at a neighbor’s house with multiple other people there (altho not a party as first reported).

You can pretend to be perfect all you want, but we know the Millers are not perfect parents. Neither was Granger Smith whose child drowned in the family pool by opening the pool gate while Granger was outside with him. Just like Granger turned his back on his son for something, Morgan likely did as well to her daughter.

This happened to my brother and I on a hot day when we were kids. Our dad was working on his diesel truck in the driveway in the open air. My brother and I were shooting the hockey puck in the garage. The wind blew the fumes back into the garage and down we went.

Poor McKenna. I'm so glad she finally won the case. But what a trauma.
