“Parents be so busy with their own life they forget about the doctor’s office do a checkup every 6 months. Yall forget about that type of stuff,” said one user.
“Heart issues go undetected all the time, in kids and adults, even those who go to the Dr. Without knowing what killed this precious child or anything about his life or his parents it’s kinda crappy for you to make a judgment of his parents like this,” another user replied.
