  1. Trying to get that perfect selfie shot? ๐Ÿ™„ I said almost 20 years ago that social media and what its doing to people, will be the end of logical society in America ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ it will be the death of us all.

  2. If it wasn't an accident then it must've been a suicide. I doubt they were pushed by someone because, firstly there are railings they need to climb over to get to the edge and secondly there were witnesses around and the likelihood of them getting pushed by someone drops significantly.

  3. Why does the media make headlines that read so confusingly?

  4. Kid pulled a Conor Clapton

  5. God said not today for the young boy๐Ÿ™bless first responders for saving him

  6. Hard to understand why someone would want to take their life and take a child with them?

  7. Don't believe it was an accident? Mental health needs a national discussion…not for one day, or one year! We need multiple conversations to help people cope with the stresses of life. Lifting this family in prayer ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’”

  8. Consider getting the child therapy support, please.

  9. Captain u need to do a little better in ur communication skills!

  10. Just like Superman 2. Too bad Superman wasn't there this time.

  11. They donโ€™t believe it was an accident??

  12. Accident? I hope the police will investigate if this was a murder or an accident.

  13. If it wasn't an accident, then the husband can find a stable woman to help raise the child now…

  14. He said he believes it was NOT an accident.

  15. "Niagra Falls?"
    "Slowly I turned, step by step…"

  16. Railings? Like how many folks gotta fall into Niagra Falls before we bUILD TO PROTECT or just close it off from idiotic aloof or naive and unweary citizens completely

  17. was that mother trying to commit murder suicide?

  18. 500 comment , pls! thx,

  19. LOOK….don't GO to ANY….EDGE……use….a…QUAD CAM….or…..LONG EXTENTION…..CAMERA—–FOLKS………..look…..a…..MOMMA…..lost her…….mothering REQUIREMENT….and THE BOY…….will be….NOT MOTHERRED…..fairly……..KAAAAY…R.KO.
