The distraught parents wrote in a heartfelt message that despite experiencing a great deal of loss, they have been unfairly accused.

"But in the midst of our pain, we’ve seen cruel and careless comments accusing us of things so far from the truth. Please understand this: we would never harm our child. We loved him deeply, and we still do. This was a tragic accident, and we’re still trying to process the pain," he shared.

"Before you speak, ask yourself, what if it was your child? What if it was your family going through this? Please, don’t add more hurt to hearts that are already broken. We ask for your prayers, not your judgment. Rest in peace, our sweet boy Mateo. You’ll always be loved," he added.
