THIN ICE Little People’s Tori Roloff secretly films son Jackson slipping and sliding on the ice after fan concern for boy’s legs
The Little People, Big World star secretly filmed her son Jackson, 6, as he walked around the snowy ground in the family’s yard.
Tori, the wife of Zach Roloff, snapped the video through the window as Jackson stomped around in a patch of ice while wearing sneakers, high socks, and a gray T-shirt.
“It’s the Canada socks for me,” Tori added in text over the adorable clip.
The Instagram Story video comes as fans have continuously shown concern over the young boy’s bowed legs.
The eldest son underwent surgery to help with his condition in 2021, however, Tori and Zach have explained that it wasn’t necessarily going to ensure an easy fix.
The TLC alums also share a daughter Lilah, 3, and a son Josiah, 1, who have achondroplasia along with their dad and brother.
GROWING CONCERN
Fans have shown concern over Jackson’s legs recently, especially after Tori shared another video of her oldest jumping and dancing alongside his siblings at the end of last year.
The LPBW star stood at the center of her couch with her three children in front of her while participating in a popular dance trend.
As they danced, the lights in the room turned on and off and each person took a turn doing a solo dance with a flashlight in hand.
“I’m so nervous for Jackson’s legs!!” one person commented.
“I look at his legs and it hurts me,” a second wrote.
“Not meant to be rude or ugly, but why can’t Jackson’s legs be straightened,” another commenter wondered.
“He’s walking on the sides of his feet it seems. Poor baby!!”
JACKSON’S SURGERY
At the beginning of 2022, Tori explained the procedure Jackson received in 2021, writing, “He had plates put on his growth plates. Nothing changed immediately.
“As his legs grow, they will hopefully straighten, and we will avoid a more invasive surgery.”
She clarified later that they wouldn’t know how successful the surgery was for a couple of years and that it would be a slow process.
The procedure was documented on LPBW, revealing complications the youngster faced.
In November 2022, Zach revealed that they still hadn’t seen any clear results post-op.
Jackson’s dad revealed more about the surgery during an Instagram Q&A, sharing that Jackson’s results will be slow to see due to his small amount of growth each year.
In May 2023, Tori hit back at a concerned follower who believed his legs were getting “worse and worse.”
“Not once has my son ever complained or said he was in pain because of his legs. He is under the care of the best doctors and loving parents. Take this stuff elsewhere,” she responded to the user’s comment.
