- Along the county road the Warren family drives on daily, they saw their four-year-old son for the last time.
Just before 2 a.m. on May 5, 2024, Chelsey Warren, her husband, and four-year-old son Lucas were headed home from a family member’s birthday party.
They encountered a flooded area on County Road 528 in Burleson.
“Every road was blocked, but that road wasn’t blocked,” Warren said. “We thought we could make it through, we saw another SUV make it through. It didn’t look that deep, it looked like a puddle. We couldn’t really see the water rushing on the sides because of the trees and how dark it was.”
As they attempted to drive through it, their car battery died and water began rushing around them. It began to fill their car with water.
“We got Lucas out of the car seat and grabbed what we could,” Warren said. “It was a five-foot walk to dry land we thought we could make it. The current was too strong, my husband fell. He was holding Lucas, and I grabbed him and we all got swept away in different directions.”
Warren said she carried her son Lucas on her back and struggled to stay above water.
“Every tree we grabbed onto, the branch broke and we’d go under for 15 to 20 seconds at a time,” Warren said.
Someone nearby witnessed the family get swept away and called 911. First responders and Johnson County Emergency Management crews responded to the water rescue.
At least one Johnson County first responder became stuck in high water.
Warren told WFAA she kept her son on her back for as long as she could.
“He was fine, gasping a little, but he was fine. I told him to say his prayers and we were gonna be okay. I found a tree where I could push myself up a little, and when the current came, he let go.”
Warren watched her only child quickly get swept away by flash flooding.

Why are you interviewing this woman. She is traumatized. I've Lost a child in my opinion, this is wrong
This tragedy was entirely on her and was absolutely preventable
@@travisahhs11 people panic in traumatic situations and make bad judgment calls, she lost her child leave her be
She didn't lose the child she lead to the reasons this child drowned.
@@slapkit51 “lost” in the figurative speech that her child has “passed away”
No one is forcing her to do this. She does not seem too traumatized tbh. I could not speak about my brother without fully breaking down when he died ... for 5 years! The way she even framed this .... expecting her 4 YEAR OLD SON to hold on to her. "He let go." They left a party at 2AM .... and chose to risk the flood waters. Here in this area, we are taught not to take that risk. Why did they take the risk with their child? Were they drinking? Leaving a party at 2am .... probably. She can smile too.
"Any donations ..." they want us to give to them .... that is why they are doing this interview. I can't imagine smiling talking about my child dying bc of bad choices i made. Smh!
Dear Lady, I am so sorry for your tragic loss. I know what it is like to have only one miracle child. I cannot imagine the pain and heartache you are going through. Cling to Jesus in through this, he will help you like no other can.
With heartfelt love,
She brought this entirely on herself
@@travisahhs11I don’t know how you could say something so cruel.
Actually it was the boy's father
@@treyday572 He's saying that they were driving in a flash flood warning he's not trying to actually be cruel he's making a point. He's not trying to sound insensitive. Although he got it wrong it was the father they had a flash flood warning I live here in Burleson where this happened and basically there was a flash flood warning they decided to go driving it anyways and it was the father. Actually feel bad for them but I don't think the police should just look at it like okay you feel bad about it no he should be held accountable. That poor child would actually be alive today if the dad took it seriously. Do I feel bad for him that he had to go through losing a child yes but do I think that changes his responsibility in what happened no.
So sorry for this mom and family. Blessings.
I just watched little girl ripped away from mom during raging flood waters on 60 min Australia not even a week ago. Theirs was in their own home though and she was pregnant. Their water was also rooftop high. Just so sad
So sad. May your sweet Angel R.I.P.. sending prayers for you and your family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Never drive through a river. Horrific preventable tragedy. That poor baby.
How did he get away from them? I don’t understand.
🤔
Like she said, "he let go." I hate the way she frames that. Expecting a 4 yr old to hang on for his life. And now she is asking for donations. Smh!
She said he let go and the current got him.
I am so sorry. Prayers
This poor woman ....
💔. RIP Lucas sad.
Precious baby boy gone. God bless you and your family!
🙏 prayers for this family. Heartbreaking.
I’m sorry :(
Very heartbreaking. 😢
Very sad. It's no ones fault.
Pffff
Jesus comfort their hearts. Prayers to your family ✝️🙏
Why did Jesus kill the boy?
Damn😔
I’m sorry this happened to this family… they need prayers. I do feel though, however, that I personally wouldn’t be able to talk about this for a while after it happened without crying. She doesn’t seem to be very devastated by this. First off, I don’t like bad weather and flooding, I would’ve stayed put where I was at, until the next morning, because they had to have known there was flooding going on, it was all over the news. Driving in the dark I wouldn’t have taken the chance driving through the water. It’s one thing if the parents think they can do it, but to chance your child in that mess, something is wrong with that picture. And yes, if it was me, Ida held on to my child with everything I had. Forget that, I wouldn’t have let go. 😔
This poor little boys deaths was preventable. I’m sorry for their lost but this is in the parents.
Your comment is disgusting! I pray your judgement does not come back on you.
@@richardschultz9781 it’s not! It’s the truth! They allowed this to happen and put their son in danger! There were massive warnings of flood waters rising! They clearly did not listen!
@@richardschultz9781 They're not wrong. Driving into moving water is incredibly irresponsible.
@@christopheraaron8299
They didn't see the waters that were moving, it was dark and there were trees.
@@mr.d.572that's not what she said. She said she saw another vehicle drive through and they made it through... so they did see it and went in...
I can't believe she has the nerve to say "he let go" .... SHE let him go. And asking for donations? She is talking like this was merely a possession that is gone. I hope they never conceive again.
Id never let go of my kid and NEVER let your wife be responsible its your job as a MAN grab your son FIRST u dont have a 4yr old hold you u hold them in high pressure situations and u damn sure dont go drive in a terrible weather flooding conditions HOW RIDICULOUS 💯👹🤡🌎
suspicious!!!!!
@@user-zh3je8yn3n I don't think it's suspicious. But it was negligent. The child should have been held onto not expect him to hold on to you. Also there are always warnings to never cross a body of water. Especially at that time and it being dark. They should have stayed at the place where the part was at and went home in the morning. This was all avoidable. They chose to drive through that water a decision that cost their only sons life. And they will have to live with the guilt.
Go back and listen! She said her husband had the boy , but the currant caused him to fall. That’s when she got the boy.
@@user-nt9fs8pg7dso the dad has butterfingers he just slips and she magically grab the kid ...OK sure but either way I slip my 4yr old comes with me ... tragedy yes terrible but it was 5 different things at the least that a normal person wouldnt do with a dog let alone a 4 year old 💯 ... I dont care if my kids 1 , 4 , 8 , 16 whatever same thing applies and 100times over when they're little like that
@@gshell2520so weird
It's a shame that the Governor and the AG care so little for human life. He specifically knows his actions cause people to drown. So so sorry for your loss!!!
How specifically did the governor and AG cause this child to drown?
the governor ?
the AG ?
I am so sorry for the loss of that precious little boy. But the parents chose yo drive through those waters. They should have know better. This could have all be avoided had they just stayed where they were and in the morning they could have tried to get home via a safer route or when the water went down. Their poor decisions cost that little boy his life. And they will have to live with that guilt if they have any.
@@bambina320they probably know that, and shaming them will not help anyone. Where do you people come from? A child is dead and a family is grieving. How it happened doesn’t matter. Have a soul, for God’s sake.
@@treyday572 we are parents or caregivers who do not play around when it comes to children. This woman is on there smiling ... How can she even talk about it without breaking down ESPECIALLY when it IS their fault?? Oh right .... She had to ask for donations. Smh!
Listen to her again ... The way she frames it is intentional. He let go? Are u kidding me? SHE let go of him and is trying to escape responsibility by blaming him.
You gonna donate to them or what?
I have 5 kids and as a parent, I believe these parents were 100% negligent. You come home from a party at 2 am? In horrible weather. And they chose to drive through that. If my child goes in, I know for a fact my husband nor I would be coming back up without our child. She expected a 4 year old to hold on? This makes me so angry I can’t take it.
