Influencer Shares Warning After Accidentally Running over Son
The toddler survived with a fractured pelvis, and followers criticized her same-day Instagram posts from the hospital.
- On Wednesday, April 15, parenting influencer Kelly Hopton-Jones revealed she accidentally ran over her 23-month-old son, Henry, with her car, sharing hospital photos on her Instagram account, Hillside Farmhouse, the same day.
- The accident occurred as Hopton-Jones prepared to drive her daughter, Lily, to a dance performance, while her husband, Brian, was at home with Henry, who ended up in the vehicle's path as they waved goodbye.
- Medical professionals confirmed Henry sustained a fractured pelvis but no internal or neurological damage. "X-rays of his legs, chest, and neck are all normal," Hopton-Jones wrote, noting he is expected to recover.
- Followers criticized Hopton-Jones for documenting the emergency on social media the same day it occurred, with commenters calling the move "weird" and arguing that creating content from a child's injury was inappropriate.
- Kids and Car Safety reports that 50 children are backed over by vehicles weekly in the United States; some users defended the post as a coping mechanism, while Hopton-Jones warned parents to hold children's hands around cars.
