A Katy couple is speaking publicly for the first time - this is after their child was found dead in a Brookshire hotel room a week ago today.

It was last Friday when one-year-old Carson Northrop was found unresponsive in the Brooke hotel. He lived there with his parents and siblings. All were home at the time.

McCall and Jerald are speaking for the first time because of the way they say they've been portrayed in the media when their son died. The Katy couple says they were vilified by their neighbors at the hotel which left them under a dark cloud of suspicion.  By the way, a preliminary autopsy indicates there was no foul play and Carson died of natural causes.

The couple also wanted to thank the people of Brookshire who stood up for them while also assisting with paying for the funeral for their son. It will likely be held next week.
