Cristian Pineda's mother found him dead in their freezing mobile home.

Maria Pineda found her son unresponsive the next day and called 911 while attempting CPR, according to the lawsuit.

"Our thoughts are with all Texans who have and are suffering due to this past week," the ERCOT statement continued. But the lawsuit -- filed on behalf of Maria Pineda and the estate of Cristian Pineda by attorney Anthony Buzbee -- contends that power was turned off for"those who were most vulnerable to the cold."

"The blackouts instead lasted days. The failure to adequately inform Plaintiffs of the length of the blackouts prevented them from properly preparing for the lack of power, or leaving the area. Accurate information might have saved Cristian Pineda's young life," the lawsuit alleged. The lawsuit also noted that following a severe winter storm in 2011, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation issued a report informing ERCOT that"additional winterizing of the power infrastructure in Texas was necessary."

Why in GOD'S NAME was this Child not with His Mother And Father? Did they abandon This Baby?

Shame on her. Take responsibility for your child. Sleep in the smallest room in the home. Together!

That's so sad. My heart prayers and thoughts go out to the family. Noone should have to pass away like that.God bless him and his family.

unfortunately, she admits that her son was playing in the snow the day prior. i only see the co to argue that the mother let her son out in severe conditions. even without this info, it is a stretch since the co did not directly cause the cold weather. young soul, rest in peace.

Sad and bad

朱门酒肉臭,路有冻死骨。the rich could have a tanker of wine,the poor have to be die.

When we take a look at who benefited from covid, the CCP would be on top. Covid really changed the US & world politics. The Democrats and their MSM (NYT, WaPo, CNN,) lackeys took this once in a century opportunity to take down Trump. The virus was made in a CCP lab.

Greatest trader of all time maiyarova I never believe it until I experience it. For a start I deposited $300 to test the water, in few days I got a return of $5400.her diligence and honesty is undeniable maiyarova

We value money and politics over human life. This country has no shame.

SenTedCruz this is your responsibility

I bless the day I found you Miss markdonald Amelia you’ve become a blessing to me and family markdonaldAmeli

That's sad. I am confused a little. Was he left alone in the mobile home?

Someone else's fault huh..

I hope this family wins and gets every penny.... TexasWinterStorm2021 TexasPowerOutage

That company is about to be called 'Pineda Power'

If you let your kid die after a couple of days with no electricity, then that's shiat parenting. Sorry but that's the truth. Absolutely negligent.

This is good. That boy died because of purposeful privatization

RIP!!!

Good, take em for ALL they have.

She sounds an ingorant careless parent, which is trying to get rich through her kids dead body. Gross gross gross!

Thanks to Abbot, Cruz, and Cornyn. Clearly don't care for the Texans. Just keeping their jobs, pay, and titles. Feel sorry for the folks.

Sounds like poor parenting, they knew it too cold for that child.

Tragic and a very appropriate court case

Tragic unimaginable loss for this family. 😥

Why did the mother leave her kid alone in the freezing cold. That’s under “negligence” of a parent. You might just end up going to jail. You knew your mobile home had no heat and you still left you so. Alone

There going to be more to this story. Kids don't freeze to death without making a sound. I'll wait before making a judgment.

I'm glad to hear they did this. I hope they win. Money is the only thing that makes these people change their ways. I'm very sorry for this families loss.

Yes sue the pants out of Ted Cruz and Texas.

Clueless out-of-touch Gov. Rick Perry thinks this is BETTER than letting the Federal Gov. step in.

Everyone needs to file a huge class-action lawsuit against that power company.

Lmao forreal? The mom should be charged with neglect. I'm sorry but there's Eskimo children that got bigger issues.

This is where you will see John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, and governor Abbet shrink into insignificance and become the representation of the Texas electricity board

Praying for the family that’s so sad 😞

I hope they win!!

Apparently the Texas Supreme Court had granted them sovereign immunity, so they can’t be sued. That’s my understanding at least.

It is heartbreaking enough to lose a child this way. But now it will be in the media for weeks to come because of the lawsuit and this poor family will have to relive it a few times over. I hope they have the strength and support to get thru this. RIP Cristian

They don't even know what killed the kid and they already have a lawyer and asking for money

Ramped up poverty and dispossession saves lives.

A tragedy in the truest sense of the word. Has the media asked cruz if he’s reached out to the family? This should be the starting story of every news broadcast!

Sick to my stomach about this.

😢😢

Sad sorry for your lost God grace your heart ❤️
