They Lost Their Child in the Uvalde Shooting

Two families, one tragedy, two different outcomes. On May 24, 2022, a gunman entered Uvalde Elementary School and took the lives of 19 students and two teachers. Parents Kimberly and Angel reflect back on that day when they lost their 10-year-old daughter, Amerie. Kimberly was with her daughter at the school just one hour before the gunman entered the building and says she asks herself why she wasn’t there to protect her daughter. Amerie’s best friend, Khloie, was in the classroom when the gunman entered their room. She says she was holding hands with Amerie right before she left her hiding spot to call 911 for help and was killed by the gunman. Khloie’s parents, Jamie and Ruben, reveal what she told them happened inside her classroom during the 77 minutes as she, her classmates, and teachers waited helplessly for someone to save them (21036)

I am the person that couldn't live without my babies. I commend these parents for their strength and their love

[bluebittybits]

I have a 1 year old daughter and the uvalde shooting really changed my whole outlook on putting my daughter in school. I cried watching this and typing this. My heart aches for those parents and any parents who had to bare loosing a child

[Cvzar]

Taking her flowers and her favorite candy is so beautiful and loving towards your child. It shows you were amazing parents and really made her childhood full of happiness and joy and made her feel appreciated

[geekemedia]

"Do you feel like you failed her" what kind of question is that? They did not need to feel all those negative emotions, they didn't deserve to. They did nothing wrong. Didn't even give reassurance

[thedashinbetween]

She couldn't have wished for better parents. She was one of the luckiest kids in the world to have them.

[scarlettmartinmd]

So very sorry for all the loss that day! I lost my 22 year old son from a brain bleed last year. No parent should ever loose a child, it’s simply awful!

[guch]

What a beautiful angel…their loss is immense and I feel so bad. I know they will do so much in her name and she is so proud to have them as parents.

[cassieelizondo]

May one day you find peace and comfort for and about your daughter. How brave you are. My prayers are with you.

[buttaflyantics]

I’m soo sorry for your loss. Please God give all who lost a loved one strength and peace.

[trudiannross]

This is truly heartbreaking 💔 😢 Never a day goes by when I don't think of all families involved. God bless all the families 🙏

[elizabethguinn]

I truly wish I could hug everyone of these people. This is horrific and something needs to happen to stop this! I worry everyday for my children and explaining to my 6 year old what to do if something like this happens and her response of “mommy feel my heart it’s beating really hard, please stop talking about it” is heartbreaking.

[WeCanHearYouNowwithPeggiMerkey]

You two are amazing. Don’t stop. Keep pushing for truth. We are not forgetting. Blessings to you for all you’re doing. We love you both.

[sherrimatheny]

Prayers to all the families affected by this horrific tragedy, so hard to lose a child or loved one. This way, In a place where you should be safe. School! What such failures that day. So many people could have been saved that day.

[kerry]

I am absolutely heartbroken for you. I can see the pain in yourselves. I cried with you. She is such a beautiful little girl who will be in many hearts and thoughts. She will never be forgotten. ❤️

[skysoldier]

It's so heartbreaking! I'm so sorry for all these parents who lost a child this day! ❤️ You're still in my thoughts. Sending much love from Germany! ❤️

[thaelquran]

Why would Dr. Phil asked them if they felt like they failed they're daughter? That's one offensive and repulsive question to ask grieving parents. They are parents, not God. This was an unpredictable tragic event that no one saw coming. We can't put our children under 24 hours surveillance. Dr. Phil should of known better, especially someone who's a medical professional.

[evamerritt]

As a country, we feel your pain. She left way to soon, all the victims did. As a Hispanic, this hurts even more. We feel this pain with you and my deepest condolences. May they all fly high.

[PrivatePerson-ix]

What a horrible tragedy for this family and the countless others who lost loved ones that day. Equally horrific is how much their pain is being used and exploited by the media.

[brendaortiz]

Why would Dr. Phil ask these questions and make them feel at fault or guilt!?

[nancydavis]

Dr Phil how did they fail her? Horrible question
