Gentry Fire Chief Vester Cripps told NBC News that three adults and two children were at the home when the fire started. Cripps said he believes that while the family was trying to put out the flames and call for help, Loki ran back into the house to try and save the family dog.on Sunday, the father, Kurtis Sharp, urged people to"never take your children for granted."
"Cherish every waking moment with them!!!! We love u bubba and we know your in a better place!!!!" he wrote on a joint Facebook page with Loki's mother, Deshay Wilson. "Mommy loves u little turkey bird," Wilson wrote in a separate post."It wasn’t supposed to be u first. I’d give anything to have taken your place that day but I have to now try to come to terms and cope the best I can. I love u very much baby boy and I can’t wait till I get to hold u in my arms again!!!"set up to help cover the costs of the funeral and other expenses, the family lost everything in the fire.
Noble death.
JamesMichaelCr6 I probably would have done the same!
And where were they to stop him?
Sad unnecessary National News.
So sad, bless his kind heart to save his dog.💖😪🙏 prayera for his parents.
😔💔
point proven?
Oh hell no.....we are not from Ukraine! This doesn't pass the smell test.
Kid’s hearts are full of love,sad
💐
RIP
These parents couldn’t control their toddler to prevent him from running into a damn fire? Something doesnt sound right about this at all. When I was a toddler I would never have been allowed to do shit like this
Something is not right with this narrative.
If you have nine kids buy working smoke detectors...and stop having kids
'never take your children for granted' and never let them run into a burning building. FFS!
How fucking sad
😔😔
Parents were attempting to put out the fire and didn’t notice he’d slipped back in house to save the family dog.
😔
😭
Crazy brave, loving child:(
Sad
😢😢😢
Jesus. 💔 The Facebook posts were a bit much tho.
Heartbreaking 💕
So no one stopped him from running in to a burning house?🤔🥴
Horrible but where were the parents ?
I'm confused as to who was putting out the fire and who was watching the child, both? So the child was unattended, huh? So, a 23 month old child runs into fire, huh? '......to save the dog.' 23 months old, huh? Look, people can't be this stupid and believe this bogus story.
that's terrible... fly high little buddy.
Wow! An Angel indeed. That’s so heartbreaking. ✝️😭
They had 8 children and no one realize this kid was missing?! I have a ton of questions
Why wasn't someone holding that boy back? OMG! NO.
Tragic. But this is why you need to make sure you have working smoke detectors! Yes the good ones are expensive but it’s maybe if they had them this would of been avoided. Rest easy Loki.
😭😭😭😭
They names their kid Loki and the fire was started by an overloaded electrical outlet. A very Arkansas tragedy.
and where were the parents?
How awful! 😞
😔
That’s so sad and so sweet at the same time.
I have been working with toddlers for 9 years, this is not a typical reaction at that age. It sounds fishy to me. Nonetheless, RIP little boy...
First off this is devastating. Very sad . Second how did a toddler run into a burning home alone
I said bullshit this morning, and I still say bullshit!
So, and infant ran back to a burning house a no one noticed? neither the dog that was lefth behind?
Gotta love all the moral grandstanders calling for the parents to be thrown in jail, sterilized, killed, etc. Because all these people would do the exact right thing at the right time and have all their waits about them. Have some empathy and understanding, Jesus Christ.
A parent's worst nightmare!
Sad to say, that the child considered the dog as a member of the family. And ran inside to save the dog, as he would have ran inside to save a brother. This is incredibly sad. Everyone should do what they can to support this family.
So many questions.
That is so sad...
If you read the article, which is short, you will get answers to most questions. The parents were there, busy trying to fight the fire. They think he slipped away to go for the dog. Baby and dog died. Very sad. readbeforetweeting
🩸
10 bucks the parents needed insurance money and to not be supporting a ninth fucking kid. Jesus Christ. Sterilize them.
Terrible and sad news. Can’t imagine parent’s pain. Rest I’m peace, poor innocent stars ✨ 💫
Several years ago locally we had a seven-year-old run back into a burning trailer to save his baby brother. The courage of these little kids is amazing. The boy died just inside the front door. A 300-lb. volunteer fire fighter stepped on him charging into the structure.
2 year old are not that logical to run back in to save a pet. Maybe he was just scared and ran into his home? Rest In Peace little man.
😥
How awful
Rest In Peace Little Angel💙
This is so heartbreaking. I wish they had paid more attention to the little guy. May he RIP beautiful angel.
KavalonThatsMe Yea NBC big red flag with this post. Some woman opens a go fund me? People are supposed to trust that?
Where were his parents?!
It's such a shame how there are so many irresponsible people in this world who have children. It's heartbreaking enough the fire caused them to lose their home now the dog and child loss their lives too in the process of them trying to get the fire out. Crazy ass shit!
⚘
KavalonThatsMe Awww RIP little brave hero 😢
I have questions- but mostly just feel awful for this lil man
That is so sad. Best to his family.
This is very sad news!
