Oh wow…. I was not aware of this footage but it certainly explains a dew things. A case of bad judgement on the grandfathers part. A bit like a Michael Jackson moment when he dangled the bub of the hotel railing.

The grandfather was definitely negligent.. this is devastating. That poor darling girl so sad

I’s not clear enough to know what happened from the video

That is so sad…the poor family. My Heart breaks for them.

I’ve subsequently seen the video, and I can kind of see why they released it: the grandfather was clearly lying about what happened.

Such a tragic loss of a young life.

This is a shocking situation. It’s bad enough that the parents have lost their baby daughter but to have this video aired is just appalling.

I cannot imagine what this family is going through, hard enough to loose their daughter/granddaugther but to then have speculation cast as to if the grandfather was negligent could only cause the family much more pain and torment.

I can understand the video being used as evidence in court but it should have been released in the media unless permission was given.
It happens too often in Australia too, including patients being loaded into ambulance and being shown on TV before Police or Hospital had time to contact the next of kin. They saw it on TV as a news flash. They rang the hospital themselves and initially couldn’t get any information. The Police were more concerned about getting the guy to hospital before looking for ID details.

I feel so sad for this family. Tragedy for all of them.

Such a tragedy it is so hard on the family I can imagine without everyone else putting in their 2 cents in.

The poor family has suffered enough, without us speculating on whether there was negligence

    I agree. This is a very hard situation for them. I really feel for them

oh goodness this is so sad

This is so sad for the whole family and horrible that the pain remains worsened by the leaked footage, which I don’t this MoM should be encouraging it’s readers to watch.

  Yes I’ve wondered too when every one is shocked the footage is leaked, why is it shown here ?

Such a tragic event for the whole family.

Oh dear, hasn’t this family been through enough. How can they do such a thing?

I would never watch this video and I hope the family never have to either

I do not want to watch the video, too sad, I think he should of been aware that the window was open but also the ships owners are also at fault for having it be able to be open.

I refuse to watch that video. I have a daughter of similar age and just the thought of this incident happening makes me emotional and anxious. There is no winner here but if the grandfather was indeed negligent, he needs to pay the price, no matter how much guilt he carries.

I cant tell if the grandfather was negligent from this video. My condolences to the family and may little Chloe rest in love.
