#### _The grieving mother of the three-year-old boy who died at Inflatable World in Toowoomba has been mercilessly attacked by online trolls._

Hunter Young, from�Upper Coomera, was found unresponsive [at an inflatable playground in Toowoomba](http://www.kidspot.com.au/parenting/real-life/in-the-news/gold-coast-boy-3-dies-in-inflatable-play-mishap)
�after�collapsing at about 1pm on Sunday.�He was found at the bottom of a slide.

Onlookers said the boy was convulsing and CPR was performed on him until paramedics
arrived and was taken to�Toowoomba Base Hospital with serious head injuries before
being flown to Lady Cilento Hospital in Brisbane, where his parents decided to turn
off his life support on Monday.

It is understood the child was at the centre with his mother and a grandparent.

However,�some heartless trolls just won’t rest as they cruelly attacked the grieving
family.�One user wrote on Facebook: “If you can’t supervise a child correctly then
maybe you shouldn’t have a child. I would never let this happen to my child.�Another
added: “I watch my kids all the time and that’s why this would never happen to me.”

Because of this, Inflatable World was�forced to edit the post yesterday afternoon,
adding:

> “Please be respectful of your comments at this sad time”.

Workplace Health and Safety Queensland is investigating the accident and�Detective
Sergeant Brent Parker said police were looking into the circumstances surrounding
the boy’s injuries.

Police have also called for witnesses to the accident to come forward.
