Every time, I revisit this story, I can’t stop crying. This is such a tragedy. I am so sorry for your loss your son was a beacon and he touched so many people’s hearts. May he Rest In Peace…
"We called him Big Tic because he was our ticket out of Saint Louis".. wow, the mother has no problem admitting to using her son for money? Turns out she was right, his death is there "big ticket" out of the ghetto! She'll win the lawsuit lotto.. if she cared about her sons life or health she wouldn't have allowed her child to eat himself to death. His death was a direct result of his obesity! The park is 100% liable in this case only because they didn't have the courage to refuse the "gentle giant" from riding. Witnesses have said that this "gentle giant" was going around the park trying to bully ride operators into letting him ride, he was refused at two different rides previous to this ride because of his size. According to witnesses, he was using his size and claims of "racism" to intimidate the ride operators. A posted sign with the weight limits would NOT have saved her son, her son was told multiple times that he was to big for the ride and he wanted to ride anyways! Like I said, the park is still responsible for allowing themselves to be bullied into letting him ride. They should have refused him and thrown him out of the park for harassing ride operators! I understand they were afraid of being called "racist" but they still had a responsibility to refuse him.
@@aprilshowers1765 what lies? Did the mother not call her son "our big ticket out of Saint Louis?"... that's literally what she just said. Look at the witness reports from the park, multiple people said he was threatening and bullying ride operators to let him ride... so where's the lies??? 🤣 the mother is trash, and karma is very real!! If her son wouldn't have bullied ride operators, he would be alive today.
Ohdear let me hug you and cry with you but I don’t cry I stay strong and I fix the problem a root cause of this will be satisfied with the disciplinary action against those responsible for this.
I cry every time I hear this story and now to hear moms last conversation with her baby… brought me to tears. I couldn’t do it! I couldn’t live on!!! How is she even answering all these questions…. She’s such a strong woman!!!!! Love you mama!! Sending so much love and prayers your way!!! Her baby is sending her all his love thru everyone in the world right now… I hope she will find peace soon.
I truly can’t handle this story anymore. My heart aches. I start crying uncontrollably. His mother and father are so strong. I’m praying God comforts the family.

@@thetruepatriot7733 I’m not reading all of what you wrote lol. You’re wasting your time. That’s yall problem. Always pocket watching. Find something better to do.
@@tyestable I agree !!!!!!! Notice all the white folks are pocket watching. That’s what they do. They act like this mom wanted her son to die just to cash out. It makes not sense. I hope she gets them for every penny. It won’t bring him back but they need to be held accountable.
@@thetruepatriot7733 I’ve never seen anywhere written that he was bullying ride operators. Not you adding in a bunch of lies to get your heartless point across.
Why is that free fall ride still in that park? 430 feet in the air. It's not a safe ride with a speed of 75. This accident could of been prevented. It's sad that young man lost his life. Straight A student . Rip Tyree . And Im praying for the family.
@@babywiz2831 he Was A Kid ! He wasn’t thinking in the moment he didn’t know that would Happen he was just Trynna have fun STFU he still gone and it’s sad and it’s the PARK FAULT for letting him Get On !
@@babywiz2831 IT IS THE RIDE FAULT!!! THEY KNEW THE RULESS & still let him Get On CMON now .. he was On spring Break trynna HAVE FUN & get on a Ride .. THE AUDACITY WOW .
I love how mom is looking out for others even amid this grief. Oh my gosh I cried about her last conversation with her baby! I’m glad Tyler did give her a hug.
The manufacturer is responsible too. Why would they allow that seat be adjusted that far when he was too big or heavy to ride anyway? He should not been allowed to ride…no scales available. Plus, had the staff checked him, they would or should have known it was unsafe. They are all at fault. Heartbreaking…SAD😭
@Sapphire 💜 yes, how typical for you to say how typical. It’s always somebody’s fault. There are rules, regulations, guidelines, and procedures that every company should teach their staff to adhere to and follow. And if they are in dereliction to their responsibilities, why wouldn’t it be theirs or the company’s fault. Now, with that being said, the fault of the child, unfortunately, was death that should not have occurred had that company adhered to their policies and procedures, rules and regulations.😭
@@vernak.washington4692 Well then genius, tell us how the manufacturer could've prevented the park management from tampering with the ride? You're one of those persons that really think i'm responsible for selling others a knife that go on a killing spree instead of chopping onions?
@@bogeydope3022 , no I am not one those who are one tracked. I’m the one that call an Ace an Ace and Spade, Spade. Like I previously said, the manufacturer is also one of those responsible for that child’s death. I said it, meant it, and represent it. They created that machine that malfunctioned. You can say that they tampered with it, and that will be proved at the trial. I see what I see and make my assessment. Boo, I see that you are doing exactly the same. But you are the type of person that may see it, but hide behind a lie. Go play at Toys-R-Us because I am not that playground.
@@vernak.washington4692 "They created that machine that malfunctioned" No, they didn't. Btw. being on a emotional rampage doesn't prove your point. I will consider to go to toys-r-us though, maybe i can send you a kackeldackel. Should i address it to BLM directly so it reaches you in time?
@@bogeydope3022, is that your company that you diligently support? And go learn English before trying to rectify me. For example, it’s not “a emotional”, it an emotional. And we will agree to disagree if you can comprehend that. I will refrain from being childish with you. So ✌️
I’m so sorry for your loss Momma. Your strength is AMAZING! What a senseless tragedy.. I have no words.. I too lost my son a year ago, 18 days after I gave him a kidney. He passed from a pulmonary embolism. No parent should ever have to bury their child. Under ANY circumstance. I pray that God holds you and all who loved Tyree in palms of His loving hands.🙏🏽❤️
Lord her story is so touching to my heart. God bless her & the dad. I can’t even imagine what she feeling inside. Lord bless her heart & keep giving her strength 💪🏽 & Jesus name amen 🙏🏽
"I want the world to see what they did to my boy." Mamie Till-Mobley Mothers are truly courageous. ACCOUNTABILITY is key!! Everyone needs to be held accountable for the part they played. Money was their priority, lives saved will be the result.
She's a strong, couragous woman. My heart goes out to her for her loss. I pray she and her family get the proper justice she deserves for this awful, devasating tragedy.

I'm sorry but I'm only 2 minutes in. Would the $22 seat belt had saved his life even if he was over the weight restriction for the ride??? I feel for the family's tragic loss of their son but I think them suing the manufacturer even though they are not negligent. They would probably do better just suing the park and the operators of the ride for allowing him on even though he was over the weight limit. No amount of money will ever bring him back but I think on certain case the attorneys and families see dollar signs more than anything. Also, the mom and the dad are doing separate interviews. I get they may not be together as a couple but they should have a united front for the lawsuit and she be as one as parents. Not just the mother filing a lawsuit on her own. He was also the dad's son as well
@SQ would the seat belt have even buckled with him being over the weight limit. I guess that is something we will never know but seat belt or not he was over the weight limit and should not have been permitted on the ride but that's what you get when you have 16 year olds operating the rides with very limited training for a summer job opportunity. What is even more concerning I'd that according to reports he was turned away from other rides because of the weight restriction but not this particular ride. What training/experience did the other ride operators have to turn him away that this ride operator did not have and still allowed him to get on. That's what me as a parent could not be able to wrap my mind around but again the seat belt thing will be something left up to a jury to decide
I've just watched the dad's interview,I'm getting the impression maybe they don't have the best relationship,pity they couldn't come together with this tragedy
Great job, Mama. I'm SO unbelievably sorry for what's been cast on you. I cried several times but the hardest when you were speaking of your 9-year-old talking to him, that is so precious. I'm devastated for you, your family, his friends, coaches & teachers. Love, hugs & God Bless you 💞💞

Wow, it’s amazing that she can remain so composed, I’d be a complete mess, I can’t IMAGINE the sheer horror and anguish of losing a child, especially so violently. May justice prevail, there’s no doubt she will be awarded, but it will never bring back her dear son. It’s so sad, yet she will save lives in his name. May he forever Rest In Peace.

You have a lot of strength.. I would be in restraints doped on medication. I swear I would lose my mind if anything happened to my sons or grandson. That is my biggest fear in life .
I dnt kno how I missed this story.. I learned about it visiting Cody that speaks with the sprits… This hurts…My condolences to all who was affected..❤️
This is so sad I pray for the family healing Mt God bless you guys I love you all and don't know y'all but I know what it feels like to lose a child ...
This courageous woman so strong she articulated herself very well considering the circumstances. My condolences to the family. She has a heavy heart I hope they implement new safety rules so other people will not have to go through this. We have to hold our children close. This is a tragic loss. My heart ♥️ bleeds for this woman.

Fr. I agree. That’s why I’m scared to bring any children into this world because of things like this & other demonic activity that goes on & unnoticed scares me & I know for a fact losing a child is a heartbreak & pain that’s indescribable, it never leaves you or the family.
This lady has been on social media arguing with people who said they were going to give money or help with funeral and didnt. Where I was thinking how in the world is she able to do that after losing a child. When anyone say they will give they really dont have too or obligated but I got from it since she didnt get the money when she thought it should have already been giving she cuss the person bad. I thought just because he hadnt gave it when she thought it didnt have to mean that he wasnt going to give her the money . I guess person who said he give money is some singer. Every since I heard her talking and way she was talking it made me look at her different. Im not surprise she not suing its crazy she said big ticket I told someone I bet she was waiting, counting on him to help get her out the hood and look she said it, wow. Im not trying take away from this young man but some parents and family I give side eye too
Damn as a father i wouldn't be able to hold my tears back let alone talk about it like it was something happened at work this lady has tremendous strength my condolence💔
@@chiayzegarden1587 yeah because people are playing in her face, clowning the way her son died, making jokes & memes about his death.. talking about his weight, trolling her & posting his death video continuously on social media MOCKING HIS DEATH.. not to mention theres ppl out here pretending to be apart of their family doing news interviews for ATTENTION & CLOUT. That right there will drive a person insane, ice cold and numb to everything that’s surrounds them.. she lost her child in a gruesome way, shes NUMB emotionally, mentally, physically DRAINED. She’s upset, mad, angered the human brain can only take so much trauma until it shuts down completely.. you can cry so many tears you won’t be able to shed another tear any longer because you become emotionally NUMB dealing with the pain.. she’s dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD & so on.. her mental health is not the best right now.. So I can understand why she’s responding the way she is now. At the end of the day social media isn’t making it any better
I'm so sorry for her loss and honestly there needs to be awareness spread because I would of never thought a big person would be in danger getting on a ride like that, and my reason for thinking that is because you see these big metal ride that looks like it could hold alot of weight and yes it's messed up and stupid of the company not to put seat belts I wonder what is behind that possible lawsuits of getting hit with the metal buckle or it getting torn of and causing harm to someone in the bottom , I'm sorry guys I hurt so bad for this boy because I lost my son tragically and I feel so guilty he was a good boy I took him for granted I saw him so positive with his self didn't sneak out or do drugs I let my guard down and now I have to live with this guilt I know it'll get better because I love God and I pray to him alot and I try to forgive myself because I was going thru depression and stress but I wish I would of gotten help the happy memories are what keep me going but I hate that I got sick 3 months after my twins started middle school my depression got so bad I couldn't drive I would get so much anxiety and so they started staying with my sister during the week I wish I could go back in time but I can't I want my boy back too people please talk to your kids get yourself help seek God for peace and strength you need to be healthy in your mind cus depression is like cancer if left untreated it could be turminal try to teach your kids resiliency pray for them alot and tell them that you love them and ask how they are doing and self defense my son lost his battle with mental illness last June and he hanged himself my son was not a coward my son was brave he fought hard he worked out everyday and ate avacado and toast and chicken with lemon till his last day he played piano and all kinds of guitars his favorite group was the band and he was so loving that even in my depression he bought me a white and pink cake I remember I felt so bad like I didn't deserve it he also cooked duck for me before he passed I just wish for one more chance I've caused so much pain to everyone that loved him and I hurt for my other son although I feel God has really helped him and me cus even tho life will be bittersweet till I go see my kid in heaven I know God will help us heal and he comforts our soul and I pray Mathew 5 over everyone that has lost someone which says blessed are those that mourn for they will be comforted father please heal our pain and I ask that you use us to help others by spreading awareness that suicide is at an all time high and that there are alot of people around the world committing suicide they say every 40 seconds someone dies of suicide but I think with this pandemic who knows please guys talk with your family see how they are doing be kind and spread awareness to the boys mom I say get a settlement cus what if they file for bankruptcy or the jury decides to favor the companies because they had already alot of rides he was turned away and they have proof in those other rides that they told her son he was to tall or heavy for rides
I also want to apologize cus not all people do it for the money but I just want to say I feel that the worker shouldn't go to jail I feel like he was probably trying to do something nice for him without knowing he was going to make the biggest mistake in his life I don't know he seemed nice he was talking with the people I don't know I didn't get a bad vibe but I get it when it's your kid you see it totally different in my case I don't hate my kids bullies which they did something really sad to my son I cried when I read the letter for 3 days straight till God came to tell me (not in person ) I know how you feel I also saw my son being persecuted and that's when I thought about my Lord and saviour and all the beatings he took so that one day I can hug and embrace my child again for now sweat mommy we have to be strong your boy is probably hanging out with Kobe Bryant he's in good hands God loves our kids more than we do and my son I don't know I imagine him going fishing near a beautiful waterfall or flying and having a blast that gives me peace
The ride operator was scared to say anything because he didn't want them to call him a racist so he just went ahead and let the kid ride the ride so really who's fault is this
I was just thinking of that..and I am black..and I do believe that the workers was trying to avoid any and all act of discrimination ..the weight..and the race… and …it’s like damn if you do and damn if you don’t..what stands out to me ..the very most is that ..at that age..I would not dare take that type of risk….it’s strange for me to even imagine …knowing that I was bigger then what the allowance is..and knowing that I wasnot tightly secured..I can’t believe that he took that risk…
And the otherside of it..three large size males approached the worker…. And that could be intimidating if they are coming off as not so pleasant…I ain’t buying that image that the people is trying to sell…as if it’s all the amusement companies fault…..I believe that the parents knows their children..and I believe that being stubborn had a part of that young man wanting to ride even though he knew better he did anyway….
Maybe speak to the family in charge of him. Why did they allow him to continue to attempt to get on rides when they knew he was too big and was turned down at several other rides smh
Take the ride down I don't want nobody else get annoyed this is something in Mr Simpson had to ride taking down I don't want nobody else to get hurt on it nobody take it down destroy destroy the ride please please
Calm down. The ride is being taken down (despite it being completely safe). The death was caused by human error. It's being down because no one will want to ride it, not because it's unsafe.
Smfh. Why would they even RISK that. How it even looked, I'm surprised NO ONE said anything or tried to fix it. I would have spoke up for him. May he rest in Paradise.

Aww how sad I would have loved to have known him. I’m so proud his parents are not going to settle and they want safety measures increased not brushed under the rug. I wish so badly I worked that ride I would have recognized he was in danger with a harness in that position . I would have been sad to tell him he was too big cuz I know he just wanted to have fun with his friends but I would tell him no cuz if mom not there I’m the mom til mom is there. He was a good kid he would probably not have been angry if a worker showed concern for his life and approached him with the info his harness will not close correctly
First due to weight now its seat belt was anyone else injured. When I heard this story first thing I thought was that ride being so high, so fast maybe his heart couldnt take it and he was having anxiety, panick attacks, stress, worry all in one just too much on him I bet that was first time he ever been on a ride that high and that fast. I notice rides arent the same in States when I was his age I was in Chicago got on rides and immediately started crying and ride had yet to get to its highest. My heart goes out to him but with his mom I heard her on social media cussing some suppose to be singer out because he said he would give her money or money for funeral when time going she still didnt have it she was beyond mad she also said she felt he only said it for clout but thing is nobody owes us nothing even if they say they will provide forever and not do it how can one be mad at same time why was that even so heavy on her with just losing her baby. It even got back to singer guy all what she said and he made comment that he was going to help with money so I thought his family for sure was waiting on him to make it to the NFL so to now hear her say he was the big ticket, all I can say is wow. I hope this lawsuit isnt to replace that NFL check and she suing for the right reasons after hearing how she was talking months ago about that money and I think her brother also going off about it, it didnt sit well or sound right. All parents, family hearts and sincerity not in right places some parents do use their own children for their own personal gain and thats what I think about this mother! I lost my baby I wouldnt even be able to yet speak let alone stand up, I wouldnt be arguing or talking to anyone about money or a funeral as I wouldnt be in know rush to bury my baby in first place. When speaking of him, who he was it wouldnt be he was a big ticket, getting us out of whatever hood they in it wouldnt matter if I was place in rat, roach house I wouldnt remember where we live after losing my baby and the fact she was waiting and depending on his NFL check you think she would be broken down now I see why she figure out how to eat off him in another way. Another young man die he was black this white man said welp here goes another lawsuit for the black family to quickly blame it on someone else, next we be seeing them with a lawyers. I got mad feeling here goes the racist bs I hope its not true but I do think this mother is suspect!
Do you think this mother looks like kenneka Jenkins mother? When I clicked on this video it automatically brought me back to that case cause the mothers look so similar. Weird…..
The "gentle giant" was bullying ride operators and calling them racist for refusing him. The mother is ignorant, she says "We called him Big Tic because he was our ticket out of Saint Louis".. so, the mother has no problem admitting to using her son for money? Turns out she was right, his death is there "big ticket" out of the ghetto! She'll win the lawsuit lotto.. if she cared about her sons life or health she wouldn't have allowed her child to eat himself to death. His death was a direct result of his obesity! The park is 100% liable in this case only because they didn't have the courage to refuse the "gentle giant" from riding. Witnesses have said that this "gentle giant" was going around the park trying to bully ride operators into letting him ride, he was refused at two different rides previous to this ride because of his size. According to witnesses, he was using his size and claims of "racism" to intimidate the ride operators. A posted sign with the weight limits would NOT have saved her son, her son was told multiple times that he was to big for the ride and he wanted to ride anyways! So a sign or a scale wouldn't have deterred him. A posted weight limit is only useful to people who are unaware they are to large for the ride.. Like I said, the park is still responsible for allowing themselves to be bullied into letting him ride. They should have refused him and thrown him out of the park for harassing ride operators! I understand they were afraid of being called "racist" but they still had a responsibility to refuse him.
I PROMISE I’m not being funny whn I SAY this but it’s some kind of VIBE I feel abt her man ijs!!! All I keep hearing is this TICKET out and stuff like tht. Ik everybdy grieves DIFFERENTLY but there is no way in HELL I would be able to even SPEAK clearly without choking up and crying or falling weak to my KNEES! I’m abt to get off this cause I feel a way! Just seems like…man I dnt KNOWWW; just seems she can’t wait to get this huge SETTLEMENT and she’s doing this interview for “show”… I CANT RGHT NOW!!!!!!
Unfortunately this isn't the first amusement park accident or fatality to occur it would be great if it were the last but for some reason I don't think it will be the last either
Your right seems like every year these ride are like robots playing with our lifes like a game of Russian Roulette dodging bullets take it down! Prays with this family 🙏🏽
I see this more my heart stop beating cause hurts . but others dont care just want make rude comments no one wants to hear. Think of it was ur son. How would u feel you saw rude comments about ur son. This child did not deserve this.

This mother got my blessing she is so strong, over cheap seat belt for 20$ , this would not happen to her son if this company had been so dam cheap,! I am very upsetting, and mad, I thank for the good lawyer he is in heaven smiling down on his mother and watching over her, my grandmother told me when die and make it to heaven she will be watching over me and I said what do you mean, Madear you can't see me but I will always see you every day from the heavens this is hurting my heart I am crying as I text because my grandson 220 pounds and 62tall he plays football since he was 9in Texas I heard both parents speak about there son and his sister please people of world take this a lesson to learn about safety of the dangerous ride God bless 🙏 the family Amen 🙏
Everytime I go pass icon park I just start shivering I grieve for the mother man I’m glad the ride is still closed and I’m glad they hve his little memorial still there it’s one thing to come for a vacation but to die on that vacation not able to live ur life he was just a kid bro
Literally woke up thinking about Tyre, my heart still races heavy, panic attacks, Im gonna be traumatized forever and I pray everyday for his parents, sister, and family and friends. R.I.P TYRE SAMPSON ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ His Mother is so strong, Idk if I could do it.
This was definitely neglect because his weight and size why would y’all send the ride up looking how his restraint was it was barley over his stomach or chest once that ride goes up it then tilts!!! So his stomach weight goes up as it drops but soon as it slows down that weight drops back down and because that harness was not holding him securing his chest he slipped out and fell to his death breaking his neck arms and legs fractured so severely nobody not even a 150 pound person would survive that kind of accident if that harness was not secure on them prayers for this family and his loved ones I will be following this case

@@tracey8698 did you know him personally? How do you know he was a good kid? Because his family said so? Of course his family and there attorneys are going to say "he's a good kid". Other people don't want to come forward and speak ill of the dead but I read the witnesses statements from the park, multiple people reported that he was calling staff racist for refusing him, so the staff decided to over ride the system and manually adjust the rides safety harness to fit him, and they let him ride. Karma is real... if he hadn't been bullying staff, he'd be alive today.
This is so heart broken and I am truly praying for this family... This is a pain that all mother's can feel and she will feel it for the rest of her life 😪 😢 💔 😔 😞 ...my heart is truly broken...
why did they mess with the seats to make it bigger ? that's not the type of ride where that should of been done how tall it is and how fast it goes and tilts at the top it wasn't safe to adjust the seat they did it without permission from the ride owner SMH .

@@thetruepatriot7733 where did you get this source from and what witness saw or heard him say his parents said he was a gentle giant he doesn't seem like the type to harass people the way his parents described him .
🙏😭Bless his parents. Condolences to his parents, family & friends.🙏😭 Give them strength to get through this trying time. It’s interesting that his nickname was “Big Tick” because he was going to be the family big ticket out of St Louis & poverty…even in his death he is that. Legislation is being introduced in his name, unfortunately he will permanently be part of history, his name will forever be in the history books & when his family wins this lawsuit, they will have millions of dollars to better their lives and hopefully the lives of others in their son’s name (perhaps hopefully his family will create a foundation in his name). Based on the way everyone describes him, it’s like he was an angel among us.😇😭 I pray no one else will ever have to die due to the corporate greed and neglect/negligence. I wish his family and friends healing & a positive way forward in remembrance of his beautiful life. 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

Prayers & love sent to this family. This story is such a tragedy. He seem to be a phenomenal young man….rest in heaven baby boy❤️
The manufacturer is responsible too. Why would they allow that seat be adjusted that far when he was too big or heavy to ride anyway? He should not been allowed to ride…no scales available. Plus, had the staff checked him, they would or should have known it was unsafe. They are all at fault. Heartbreaking…SAD😭
@Sapphire 💜 yes, how typical for you to say how typical. It’s always somebody’s fault. There are rules, regulations, guidelines, and procedures that every company should teach their staff to adhere to and follow. And if they are in dereliction to their responsibilities, why wouldn’t it be theirs or the company’s fault. Now, with that being said, the fault of the child, unfortunately, was death that should not have occurred had that company adhered to their policies and procedures, rules and regulations.😭
@@vernak.washington4692 Well then genius, tell us how the manufacturer could've prevented the park management from tampering with the ride? You're one of those persons that really think i'm responsible for selling others a knife that go on a killing spree instead of chopping onions?
@@bogeydope3022 , no I am not one those who are one tracked. I’m the one that call an Ace an Ace and Spade, Spade. Like I previously said, the manufacturer is also one of those responsible for that child’s death. I said it, meant it, and represent it. They created that machine that malfunctioned. You can say that they tampered with it, and that will be proved at the trial. I see what I see and make my assessment. Boo, I see that you are doing exactly the same. But you are the type of person that may see it, but hide behind a lie. Go play at Toys-R-Us because I am not that playground.

I’m so sorry for your loss Momma. Your strength is AMAZING! What a senseless tragedy.. I have no words.. I too lost my son a year ago, 18 days after I gave him a kidney.

ACCOUNTABILITY is key!! Everyone needs to be held accountable for the part they played. Money was their priority, lives saved will be the result.
That ride should be taken down if not it's gonna haunt people until it is!!!
Agreed. Demolition
Agreed, take it down.

I’m so sorry. And now your Son is in Heaven with God. We never want to part from those we Love. In no time, you will be with him.

@@thetruepatriot7733 Here you are again….liar!
I'm sorry but I'm only 2 minutes in. Would the $22 seat belt had saved his life even if he was over the weight restriction for the ride??? I feel for the family's tragic loss of their son but I think them suing the manufacturer even though they are not negligent. They would probably do better just suing the park and the operators of the ride for allowing him on even though he was over the weight limit. No amount of money will ever bring him back but I think on certain case the attorneys and families see dollar signs more than anything.
Also, the mom and the dad are doing separate interviews. I get they may not be together as a couple but they should have a united front for the lawsuit and she be as one as parents. Not just the mother filing a lawsuit on her own. He was also the dad's son as well
@SQ would the seat belt have even buckled with him being over the weight limit. I guess that is something we will never know but seat belt or not he was over the weight limit and should not have been permitted on the ride but that's what you get when you have 16 year olds operating the rides with very limited training for a summer job opportunity. What is even more concerning I'd that according to reports he was turned away from other rides because of the weight restriction but not this particular ride. What training/experience did the other ride operators have to turn him away that this ride operator did not have and still allowed him to get on. That's what me as a parent could not be able to wrap my mind around but again the seat belt thing will be something left up to a jury to decide
I've just watched the dad's interview,I'm getting the impression maybe they don't have the best relationship,pity they couldn't come together with this tragedy
My thoughts go out to Tyree RIP think about the great memories, he will always be with you
Great job, Mama. I'm SO unbelievably sorry for what's been cast on you. I cried several times but the hardest when you were speaking of your 9-year-old talking to him, that is so precious. I'm devastated for you, your family, his friends, coaches & teachers. Love, hugs & God Bless you 💞💞

I’m so sorry from one mother to another rip in heaven sweet child
Sorry for your loss, my heart aches by just listening to the news. Keep you in my prayers.
I'm still praying for his family and friends. Mothers Day and Fathers Day is coming up. Jesus give them strength.
Thanks you so much..young lady for sharing your story about your amazing and loving son...
So sorry for your loss 🙏
Absolutely Heartbreaking!
Well spoken and educated Mommy! May God bless you Sweetheart!!
God bless this family and prayers be with you. This ride should have never been built. Peace be with you. Take the ride down.
I’m sending the most sincere condolences and prayers at this time in regards to all his family and friends. I feel their def going be changes with this happening I prayer for! R.I.P. Tyre Sampson 🕊💙🙇🏾♀️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Amen
Not worth anything. Fake prayers and tears won't help anyone.
So sad for a mother to go through loosing her child and now fight for his rights for her and the family 👪 😢
RIP BABY BOY GOD PLEASE. GIVE HIS FAMILY STRENGTH AND PEACE. AMEN. I NO HE WAS A LOVING AND CARING AND VERY SMART YOUNG MAN I STILL CRY FOR HIM
"We called him Big Tic because he was our ticket out of Saint Louis".. wow, the mother has no problem admitting to using her son for money? Turns out she was right, his death is there "big ticket" out of the ghetto! She'll win the lawsuit lotto.. if she cared about her sons life or health she wouldn't have allowed her child to eat himself to death. His death was a direct result of his obesity!
The park is 100% liable in this case only because they didn't have the courage to refuse the "gentle giant" from riding. Witnesses have said that this "gentle giant" was going around the park trying to bully ride operators into letting him ride, he was refused at two different rides previous to this ride because of his size. According to witnesses, he was using his size and claims of "racism" to intimidate the ride operators. A posted sign with the weight limits would NOT have saved her son, her son was told multiple times that he was to big for the ride and he wanted to ride anyways!
Like I said, the park is still responsible for allowing themselves to be bullied into letting him ride. They should have refused him and thrown him out of the park for harassing ride operators! I understand they were afraid of being called "racist" but they still had a responsibility to refuse him.
The parents will be in my prayers. It makes me cry seeing how he died. This is so heart breaking.
As a mother.. I embrace you in my arms. God bless you and your family.
Great work by everyone involved trying to get justice
You have a lot of strength.. I would be in restraints doped on medication. I swear I would lose my mind if anything happened to my sons or grandson. That is my biggest fear in life .
I absolutely love how she didn’t cry❤️❤️❤️👏
praying for your strength Mom. I've been in your shoes 😢😢😢😢😢
I dnt kno how I missed this story.. I learned about it visiting Cody that speaks with the sprits… This hurts…My condolences to all who was affected..❤️
Who’s Cody that speaks with spirits ??
Negligence at its finest..😐
So sad for this family..🖤🥀
My heart goes out to this mother. May God continue to be with her and the rest of the family. 🙏🏾❤️🖤
This is so sad I pray for the family healing Mt God bless you guys I love you all and don't know y'all but I know what it feels like to lose a child ...
This courageous woman so strong she articulated herself very well considering the circumstances. My condolences to the family. She has a heavy heart I hope they implement new safety rules so other people will not have to go through this. We have to hold our children close. This is a tragic loss. My heart ♥️ bleeds for this woman.

rides like this should not be designed. sorry there should be laws against them.
WOW what an absolutely amazing Mother 💕💕💕I can imagine she raised one awesome young man I’m sorry for your unimaginable Loss 😢🙏🏻❤️ May He RIP
I really feel for this young man's Mother & Father.
GOD GIVING HER ALOT OF STRENGTH BECAUSE IF IT WAS ME I COULDNT TALK AT ALL MAYB FOR A WHOLE YEAR OR MORE SMH LET ALONE NOT ONE TEAR JEZUZ
Fr. I agree. That’s why I’m scared to bring any children into this world because of things like this & other demonic activity that goes on & unnoticed scares me & I know for a fact losing a child is a heartbreak & pain that’s indescribable, it never leaves you or the family.
This lady has been on social media arguing with people who said they were going to give money or help with funeral and didnt. Where I was thinking how in the world is she able to do that after losing a child. When anyone say they will give they really dont have too or obligated but I got from it since she didnt get the money when she thought it should have already been giving she cuss the person bad. I thought just because he hadnt gave it when she thought it didnt have to mean that he wasnt going to give her the money . I guess person who said he give money is some singer. Every since I heard her talking and way she was talking it made me look at her different. Im not surprise she not suing its crazy she said big ticket I told someone I bet she was waiting, counting on him to help get her out the hood and look she said it, wow. Im not trying take away from this young man but some parents and family I give side eye too
LET ALONE NOT ONE TEAR
Damn as a father i wouldn't be able to hold my tears back let alone talk about it like it was something happened at work this lady has tremendous strength my condolence💔
@@chiayzegarden1587 yeah because people are playing in her face, clowning the way her son died, making jokes & memes about his death.. talking about his weight, trolling her & posting his death video continuously on social media MOCKING HIS DEATH.. not to mention theres ppl out here pretending to be apart of their family doing news interviews for ATTENTION & CLOUT. That right there will drive a person insane, ice cold and numb to everything that’s surrounds them.. she lost her child in a gruesome way, shes NUMB emotionally, mentally, physically DRAINED. She’s upset, mad, angered the human brain can only take so much trauma until it shuts down completely.. you can cry so many tears you won’t be able to shed another tear any longer because you become emotionally NUMB dealing with the pain.. she’s dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD & so on.. her mental health is not the best right now.. So I can understand why she’s responding the way she is now. At the end of the day social media isn’t making it any better
This Accident has totally spooked me. I’m so afraid to let my kids ride those rides. Im praying for the family🙏🏽💙
I'm so sorry for her loss and honestly there needs to be awareness spread because I would of never thought a big person would be in danger getting on a ride like that, and my reason for thinking that is because you see these big metal ride that looks like it could hold alot of weight and yes it's messed up and stupid of the company not to put seat belts I wonder what is behind that possible lawsuits of getting hit with the metal buckle or it getting torn of and causing harm to someone in the bottom , I'm sorry guys I hurt so bad for this boy because I lost my son tragically and I feel so guilty he was a good boy I took him for granted I saw him so positive with his self didn't sneak out or do drugs I let my guard down and now I have to live with this guilt I know it'll get better because I love God and I pray to him alot and I try to forgive myself because I was going thru depression and stress but I wish I would of gotten help the happy memories are what keep me going but I hate that I got sick 3 months after my twins started middle school my depression got so bad I couldn't drive I would get so much anxiety and so they started staying with my sister during the week I wish I could go back in time but I can't I want my boy back too people please talk to your kids get yourself help seek God for peace and strength you need to be healthy in your mind cus depression is like cancer if left untreated it could be turminal try to teach your kids resiliency pray for them alot and tell them that you love them and ask how they are doing and self defense my son lost his battle with mental illness last June and he hanged himself my son was not a coward my son was brave he fought hard he worked out everyday and ate avacado and toast and chicken with lemon till his last day he played piano and all kinds of guitars his favorite group was the band and he was so loving that even in my depression he bought me a white and pink cake I remember I felt so bad like I didn't deserve it he also cooked duck for me before he passed I just wish for one more chance I've caused so much pain to everyone that loved him and I hurt for my other son although I feel God has really helped him and me cus even tho life will be bittersweet till I go see my kid in heaven I know God will help us heal and he comforts our soul and I pray Mathew 5 over everyone that has lost someone which says blessed are those that mourn for they will be comforted father please heal our pain and I ask that you use us to help others by spreading awareness that suicide is at an all time high and that there are alot of people around the world committing suicide they say every 40 seconds someone dies of suicide but I think with this pandemic who knows please guys talk with your family see how they are doing be kind and spread awareness to the boys mom I say get a settlement cus what if they file for bankruptcy or the jury decides to favor the companies because they had already alot of rides he was turned away and they have proof in those other rides that they told her son he was to tall or heavy for rides
I also want to apologize cus not all people do it for the money but I just want to say I feel that the worker shouldn't go to jail I feel like he was probably trying to do something nice for him without knowing he was going to make the biggest mistake in his life I don't know he seemed nice he was talking with the people I don't know I didn't get a bad vibe but I get it when it's your kid you see it totally different in my case I don't hate my kids bullies which they did something really sad to my son I cried when I read the letter for 3 days straight till God came to tell me (not in person ) I know how you feel I also saw my son being persecuted and that's when I thought about my Lord and saviour and all the beatings he took so that one day I can hug and embrace my child again for now sweat mommy we have to be strong your boy is probably hanging out with Kobe Bryant he's in good hands God loves our kids more than we do and my son I don't know I imagine him going fishing near a beautiful waterfall or flying and having a blast that gives me peace
The ride operator was scared to say anything because he didn't want them to call him a racist so he just went ahead and let the kid ride the ride so really who's fault is this
I was just thinking of that..and I am black..and I do believe that the workers was trying to avoid any and all act of discrimination ..the weight..and the race… and …it’s like damn if you do and damn if you don’t..what stands out to me ..the very most is that ..at that age..I would not dare take that type of risk….it’s strange for me to even imagine …knowing that I was bigger then what the allowance is..and knowing that I wasnot tightly secured..I can’t believe that he took that risk…
And the otherside of it..three large size males approached the worker…. And that could be intimidating if they are coming off as not so pleasant…I ain’t buying that image that the people is trying to sell…as if it’s all the amusement companies fault…..I believe that the parents knows their children..and I believe that being stubborn had a part of that young man wanting to ride even though he knew better he did anyway….
Maybe speak to the family in charge of him. Why did they allow him to continue to attempt to get on rides when they knew he was too big and was turned down at several other rides smh
Exactly
Take the ride down I don't want nobody else get annoyed this is something in Mr Simpson had to ride taking down I don't want nobody else to get hurt on it nobody take it down destroy destroy the ride please please
Calm down. The ride is being taken down (despite it being completely safe). The death was caused by human error. It's being down because no one will want to ride it, not because it's unsafe.
Smh watch that raw video of this child falling made me cry smh
Where's the video of him falling
Smfh. Why would they even RISK that. How it even looked, I'm surprised NO ONE said anything or tried to fix it. I would have spoke up for him.
May he rest in Paradise.
Thoughts and prayers to Tyre and his family this is so heartbreaking
This wasn't Racism.....it is called GRAVITY....don't get on a ride if you are 150 pounds over the limit.....
yeah workers should’ve said that.

She’s beautiful inside and out. No one deserves this.
Aww how sad I would have loved to have known him. I’m so proud his parents are not going to settle and they want safety measures increased not brushed under the rug. I wish so badly I worked that ride I would have recognized he was in danger with a harness in that position . I would have been sad to tell him he was too big cuz I know he just wanted to have fun with his friends but I would tell him no cuz if mom not there I’m the mom til mom is there. He was a good kid he would probably not have been angry if a worker showed concern for his life and approached him with the info his harness will not close correctly
First due to weight now its seat belt was anyone else injured. When I heard this story first thing I thought was that ride being so high, so fast maybe his heart couldnt take it and he was having anxiety, panick attacks, stress, worry all in one just too much on him I bet that was first time he ever been on a ride that high and that fast. I notice rides arent the same in States when I was his age I was in Chicago got on rides and immediately started crying and ride had yet to get to its highest. My heart goes out to him but with his mom I heard her on social media cussing some suppose to be singer out because he said he would give her money or money for funeral when time going she still didnt have it she was beyond mad she also said she felt he only said it for clout but thing is nobody owes us nothing even if they say they will provide forever and not do it how can one be mad at same time why was that even so heavy on her with just losing her baby. It even got back to singer guy all what she said and he made comment that he was going to help with money so I thought his family for sure was waiting on him to make it to the NFL so to now hear her say he was the big ticket, all I can say is wow. I hope this lawsuit isnt to replace that NFL check and she suing for the right reasons after hearing how she was talking months ago about that money and I think her brother also going off about it, it didnt sit well or sound right. All parents, family hearts and sincerity not in right places some parents do use their own children for their own personal gain and thats what I think about this mother! I lost my baby I wouldnt even be able to yet speak let alone stand up, I wouldnt be arguing or talking to anyone about money or a funeral as I wouldnt be in know rush to bury my baby in first place. When speaking of him, who he was it wouldnt be he was a big ticket, getting us out of whatever hood they in it wouldnt matter if I was place in rat, roach house I wouldnt remember where we live after losing my baby and the fact she was waiting and depending on his NFL check you think she would be broken down now I see why she figure out how to eat off him in another way. Another young man die he was black this white man said welp here goes another lawsuit for the black family to quickly blame it on someone else, next we be seeing them with a lawyers. I got mad feeling here goes the racist bs I hope its not true but I do think this mother is suspect!
Do you think this mother looks like kenneka Jenkins mother? When I clicked on this video it automatically brought me back to that case cause the mothers look so similar. Weird…..

That’s what I was wondering, haven’t seen the parents together
@@sweetpotato7778 they weren't together when he died

This was definitely neglect because his weight and size why would y’all send the ride up looking how his restraint was it was barley over his stomach or chest once that ride goes up it then tilts!!! So his stomach weight goes up as it drops but soon as it slows down that weight drops back down and because that harness was not holding him securing his chest he slipped out and fell to his death breaking his neck arms and legs fractured so severely nobody not even a 150 pound person would survive that kind of accident if that harness was not secure on them prayers for this family and his loved ones I will be following this case

@@tracey8698 did you know him personally? How do you know he was a good kid? Because his family said so? Of course his family and there attorneys are going to say "he's a good kid". Other people don't want to come forward and speak ill of the dead but I read the witnesses statements from the park, multiple people reported that he was calling staff racist for refusing him, so the staff decided to over ride the system and manually adjust the rides safety harness to fit him, and they let him ride. Karma is real... if he hadn't been bullying staff, he'd be alive today.

why did they mess with the seats to make it bigger ? that's not the type of ride where that should of been done how tall it is and how fast it goes and tilts at the top it wasn't safe to adjust the seat they did it without permission from the ride owner SMH .

They need to take that ride free fall ride out the park. 430 feet in the area. Dangerous with a speed of 75 feet.
🙏😭Bless his parents. Condolences to his parents, family & friends.🙏😭 Give them strength to get through this trying time. It’s interesting that his nickname was “Big Tick” because he was going to be the family big ticket out of St Louis & poverty…even in his death he is that. Legislation is being introduced in his name, unfortunately he will permanently be part of history, his name will forever be in the history books & when his family wins this lawsuit, they will have millions of dollars to better their lives and hopefully the lives of others in their son’s name (perhaps hopefully his family will create a foundation in his name). Based on the way everyone describes him, it’s like he was an angel among us.😇😭 I pray no one else will ever have to die due to the corporate greed and neglect/negligence. I wish his family and friends healing & a positive way forward in remembrance of his beautiful life. 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
