Brady Kiser, 28, husband of social media influencer Emilie Kiser, can be charged with felony child abuse following the drowning death of their three-year-old son, Trigg, in
Arizona
.
The Chandler Police Department announced on Tuesday that they have formally recommended the Maricopa County Attorney's Office to consider charging Brady for a Class 4 felony, as investigations have now concluded, reported Fox News.
The charge carries a possible prison sentence ranging from 1 to 3.75 years, though first-time offenders may be eligible for probation.
Trigg Kiser fell into the backyard pool and 'accidentally drowned' on May 12 as Brady Kiser was 'distracted' watching their new-born son, as per police records. He told the police that he turned around for 'three to five minutes' before discovering his son floating in the backyard pool, reports AZ-Central.
Brady Kiser informed the police that he was alone at home with the two boys at the time while Emilie was out with her friends.
"Chandler PD arrived on scene first and found an unconscious 3-year-old boy that was pulled from the backyard pool. Officers began CPR and firefighters took over patient care upon arrival," said fire department officials at that time.

he child was hospitalized but died six days later on May 18.
Emilie filed an official legal motion requesting the court to prevent the release of investigative and post-mortem records related to Trigg's death. In a verified complaint she urged that releasing the investigative and post-mortem records would inflict significant emotional distress on her and her family. She emphasized that the loss is deeply personal and holds no substantial public interest, as per Fox News.
Emilie said that more than 100 public record requests have been submitted since Trigg's death, but she believes many of them are driven by public curiosity or commercial gain rather than genuine concerns.
She filed a lawsuit at the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County seeking to keep all records of her son's death, including any distressing footage out of the public view, as per the New York Post.
A judge granted her temporary confidentiality as part of her broader request for privacy on June 3, ordering the records to remain sealed until a decision is made on the larger privacy matter.
The family 'desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them,' said Emilie's attorney in the original filing. He added that the boy's death has become a 'media frenzy.'
Emilie has over a million followers on Instagram and around four million followers on TikTok. She has not posted on her social media accounts since.

100% dues to be recovered from casinos: Sawant
Porvorim: Chief minister Pramod Sawant told the assembly that state govt has issued notices to casino operators for the recovery of dues. Sawant said raids are being conducted at onshore casinos where live gaming takes place, while responding to a discussion on the demand for grants for the home department on Tuesday. 'Notices were issued, and 100% recovery will be completed. Some cases are in court,' Sawant said. 'We have increased fees by 100% for new casinos.' Sawant urged people to verify tenants because if a tenant is found involved in any criminal case, the homeowner shall be booked. He stated that 12 new history-sheets were opened in the state and 471 touts were booked. He noted that police reach the scene of a crime in 11 minutes. He denied the opposition's charge that promotions have been held back in police. 'Maximum promotions have been cleared during my tenure,' he said. The CM said that the crime detection rate is increasing day by day, and awareness drives on cybercrime and women safety have been conducted. Further, he said that state govt is working to reduce road accidents. On another front, Sawant noted that the SIT probing land grab cases has arrested 75 persons, and 30 cases are active. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These 11 Everyday Foods Might Be the Key to Knee Pain Relief Undo He said 727 land grab cases were received, and over 600 cases have been disposed of. Sawant said the work on the Patradevi Memorial will be completed by Dec 19. Speaking on the finance department, Sawant said that he achieved the target of a revenue surplus budget. He said state govt's borrowing limit was Rs 4,400 crore last year, but the state borrowed only Rs 1,500 crore to take up development work. Where the excise department was concerned, Sawant said that revenue from liquor sales has doubled since 2020 — from Rs 491 crore to Rs 947 crore in 2024 — and this shows that tourism has increased in the state. He said no truck carrying illegal liquor will cross the border. Sawant noted that every month, GST collection is on the rise in the state.

Even Manohar Lal Khattar was better as Haryana CM than Nayab Saini, says former deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala
1 2 Jind: Former Haryana deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala has launched a blistering attack on the BJP-led state govt, accusing chief minister Nayab Singh Saini of losing control over law and order and branding his administration a "gayab sarkar" — a missing govt. Chautala, who leads the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), said during a public address in Jind: "Police are nowhere, and criminals everywhere. Even Manohar Lal Khattar was better than Nayab Saini. If the CM can't control his police, he should hand over charge to Anil Vij — at least he'd suspend someone." Chautala claimed Haryana had become a safe haven for criminals from other states and that policing had collapsed under the current dispensation. He claimed that: "Crime meetings that used to be held every two to three months have stopped. Threats are being issued from inside jails. In Gurugram, a man was shot just metres from a police outpost," he said. Drawing a historical contrast, Chautala referenced his grandfather and former chief minister O P Chautala's tenure: "Murders began during Bansi Lal's time, but Chautala Saheb ended hooliganism within six months. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Highest Paying Degrees For 2025 Best Paying Degrees | Search Ads Learn More Undo " He also criticised the BJP for "sidelining senior politician Anil Vij", claiming the former state home minister had been rendered powerless in the current cabinet. Turning his fire on the Congress, Chautala accused its central leader of opposition, Rahul Gandhi, of losing grip on his own party. "The Congress is so divided that even selecting the LoP isn't in Rahul's control. He has mortgaged himself to one leader," he claimed, without naming anyone. The remarks come amid mounting political heat in Haryana, where the opposition has zeroed in on rising crime.
