Emilie Kiser broke her three-month-long silence on the death of her 3-year-old son, Trigg, who drowned in the family pool at her Arizona home in May.

Kiser, a 26-year-old TikTok creator with millions of followers, issued her first emotional statement on social media on Thursday, describing her grief as “impossible to put into words.”

The case has drawn national attention given Kiser’s public platform as a “mom influencer” with more than 4 million TikTok followers.

Kiser’s message provided the first glimpse into how her family is coping.

Emilie Kiser also said she will be drawing stricter boundaries online to protect her family’s privacy. “I now have seen through this tragedy how relationships online lack boundaries, especially in protecting children’s privacy. Moving forward, I will be establishing more boundaries with what I share online,” she wrote.

She thanked her family and supporters, writing “To our family: we would not be getting through this without you. The support you have given us, the unconditional love, and the way you show up is something we will never be able to repay or thank you enough for.” She added: “To my audience and the people who have supported us: I cannot thank you enough for the kind messages I have received, for the outpouring of love for our family, and for the support you have brought to me in these extremely tough times.”

The Chandler Police Department recommended a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady Kiser, but prosecutors determined the evidence did not meet the threshold for a “reasonable likelihood of conviction.”

Emilie Kiser has filed a lawsuit seeking to block the release of investigative records tied to Trigg’s death.

Child drownings remain a leading cause of accidental death in Arizona for children under the age of five.
