Phoenix, AZLocal News

Emilie Kiser made her first public remarks since her son Trigg drowned in May, stating that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life. She took full accountability for her actions and expressed regret for not doing more to protect him. The drowning occurred while Kiser was out with friends, leaving her husband, Brady, at home with Trigg and their newborn son. Following the incident, Kiser filed a lawsuit to block the release of government records linked to Trigg's death, citing a media frenzy that prevented her family from grieving privately. She acknowledged her role as a social media influencer but insisted that graphic details of her son's tragic death should not be public.

Kiser plans to impose stricter boundaries on what she shares online to protect her family's privacy. She hopes her experience will serve as a cautionary tale for other families to prevent similar tragedies. Kiser expressed deep sorrow over Trigg's loss, stating that his spirit brought immense joy to their lives.
