The report is so incriminating. I didn't expect Brady to have not watched Trigg outside whatsoever and then to have lied so much. Wow.
I hope this serves as a lesson to others that it doesn't matter if your child knows not to enter the pool without you, accidents happen and an uncovered pool is a bleeping death trap.
The report almost read like it was normalised that Trigg played unsupervised outside.
The thing is no matter how much you think your child understands and is aware of what they should and shouldnt do; there are times they shock you.My little boy is 2 days older than trigg and the other week he swallowed a pound coin. I was in the kitchen making him his tea while it happned, I'd left him watching paw patrol after school. He looked like he was falling asleep so I didnt think he would get into too much mischief and so I left him to put the pasta on. I'd only been gone a couple of minutes and he came running into the kitchen crying and telling me what he had done. Obviously I was berating myself for leaving a pound coin out and having a false sense of security that he was out of the 'phase' of putting things in his mouth. I'd totally forgot about the pound coin my mum had put in a card for him doing so well at preschool.


.....and so the fact Brady left him outside unsupervised is actually crazy. Poor Triggz there were so many hazards around. Not only the water, but the many toys that were a slip hazard, the dogs running around, the slippy and hard floor. So many things that could and did go wrong. I really don't understand why he thought it was a good idea to take his eyes off him around such a massive hazard. Would he have left him unattended by a pool on holiday?!!
My heart breaks for them both, they have paid the ultimate price and I cant and don't want to comprehend how it must feel. Brady will forever carry the cross he now has to bear. He must relive those moments all the time and be haunted by that what ifs. I wish I could somehow go back into time and warn them.
I don't even know what to say about Emilie, how do you carry on? How do you mother should newborn while grieving? How do you look at Brady and not blame him?..her whole life has been destroyed and I just hope Teddy brings joy, happiness and healing to them.
