I'm guessing mom tired of being single mom push them both in. No way 2 kids would fall in. Doesn't make any sense. So 1st kid falls in and mom don't think to watch the 2 year old? Fishy lmao. Hope she is arrested. This is child endangerment and negligence at the minimum and can be upgraded to murder if she is found guilty .

Ok 4 yr old fall in river. Mom is with 2 yr old. Why not think to hold on to the 2 yr old while looking. It's a baby, there is no excuse she can't hold the kid while looking for the 4 yr old. Seem fishy she leaves a 2 yr old alone and he suddenly fall into the same river lmao. She is guilty.
The four year old falls into the water is swept away so she turns away from the two year old? Very suspicious. Watching your child get swept away is extremely traumatic so the last thing you would do is take your eyes off the surviving toddler. I hope this get thoroughly investigated.

I'm very familiar with that area and the river, and even though it is called "Mill Creek" make no mistake, it is a raging river especially at this time of year with the snow melt. Everyone who lives in the area knows this and knows to stay away from it. It is NOT the type of place to take any children regardless of age to wade or play in the water. Even adults are at risk of being swept away. I don't understand what this mother was thinking.

Hopefully good interviewers are assigned to the case, because there is no way in h*ll a responsible and caring mother would think it was a good idea to take two toddlers to raging river in the mountains alone.
Crazy I was there with my wife and 4 year old son, but we would never go into the fast moving flow or even take our eyes away from them. This definitely feels very suspicious there's now way. RIP to those kids 🕊️🕊️
Are we sure this was an accident? I can’t imagine leaving children that age unattended next to a rushing creek.

Not likely most people would NOT take the time to "secure" the toddler while your other child was being washed away. Like get real your suffering from delusions of grandure there. You gonna tie um to a rock? Take them back to the car? While the other is drowning? Most would just be chasing with the toddler in arm. I agree it's suspicious. It doesn't sound like she entered the water. Fot the 4 year old or the toddler that would have likely washed by behind her.

Damn man ❤❤❤😭😭😭 Watch these damn babies please.
Someone's not telling the entire story. I am a mother of five but four is still living. Never would i leave my 2 year old to loook for my drowning 4 year old a mother wouldn't have left her toddler in by its self to look for another toddler and let's be real why where these young babies near this dangerous creek bed anyway something isn't adding up 😡
So both kids fell in accidentally?!? At two different times while mom was standing there?!?? No way
When we lived in Tennessee and Virginia Beach, I used to take my 4-year-old son and our dog to the river and beach by myself because my husband was working. Sometimes, we faced heavy rainstorms, even at the park, but I always kept a tight grip on both of them. Children can be curious, but I can't understand how the mom in the news allowed her 4-year-old to get swept away. I know she must have been frantic, but losing one child and letting another one slip away... I can't imagine. RIP little ones, and prayers to the family during this unimaginably difficult time.
How does that happen with their mother with them? I’m suspicious! This is the United States, and similar incidents have been foul play.
The mother should be investigated to the fullest
How tragic!!!
I don't get it, what a 2 and 4 years old children were doing plying around a creek.
Wow, what a shame. How could this happen? That is crazy. Poor family.

Poor baby's 😢.. rest in peace
Parents need to use common sense & keep children away from water. This is terrible & absolutely avoidable!! Tragic error on mom’s part
That is fast moving water!!! DANGEROUS!!
How tragic.
That's really sad, we have a creek behind our house and today (same day this was posted) we had hard rain that caused our creek to rise around 4' and it was flowing very fast, if an adult had gotten into it the likelihood of serious/lethal injury would be great with the rocks to hit a persons head on. This is so terrible and sad. Lord Jesus Christ please comfort the family.
