A SHOCKING video showing an empty chest of drawers collapsing on two-year-old American twin brothers, Brock and Bowdy Shoff, has been met with mixed emotions.
From the footage the curious boys can be seen climbing up the dresser, causing the empty furnishing to collapse on top of them.
While Brock manages to escape, Bowdy is trapped under the dresser’s weight. For several minutes little Brock struggles to free his clearly distressed sibling. Then, finally he manages to push the dresser off of Bowdy.
The parents were reportedly sleeping at the time, and only became aware of the incident after reviewing the surveillance footage.

The video went viral after the parents of the twins, Ricky and Kayli, shared it on YouTube in the hopes of creating awareness.
“We know Bowdy was not alone in moving the dresser off of Brock. And feel blessed that he is ok. Please make sure all your dressers are bolted and secured to the wall. Please share,” Ricky said in the post.
However, many have expressed outrage, questioning the parents’ parenting skills, while others have come out in support of the Shoff family.
thousands of parents should be watching their kids instead of the video. They need a video?

they said the parents were asleep. The kids woke up before the parents did which can totally happen. That dresser might have been new..
