Is Twin Saves Brother Video Fake? Bowdy Shoff Act Deemed A Hoax By Skeptics [VIDEO]

A nanny cam video showing a 2-year-old toddler lifting a fallen dresser off his twin brother has sparked controversy after many expressed doubts over the video's authenticity. However, on Wednesday, the father of the toddlers said that the video was legitimate and the incident was not staged.

"I'm not sure how they would be able to think that it was a stunt after watching the full video," Ricky Shoff told Fox News. "It's obvious there isn't any editing to the video and to put my sons in a position where the dresser does fall on them on purpose is a horrible thought. How would you even stage that even if we were professionals with experience in such?"

The video, which went viral on social media, showed Bowdy Shoff and his brother Brock opening various dresser drawers and trying to climb up on the furniture. The dresser tipped over, trapping Brock underneath. Bowdy eventually managed to push the dresser off his brother.

But social media users later claimed that the incident was staged as the dresser was seen to be empty, and there were no clothes in any of the drawers.

When Ricky Shoff posted the video, he wrote on Facebook that he was "a little hesitant to post this. But I feel it’s not only to bring awareness, but it’s also incredible," adding: "We are so grateful for the bond that these twin brothers share."

Speaking to CNN, Ricky's wife Kayli said: "We couldn’t believe it. We thought he was hurt somehow." She said that she ran to the boys' room when she looked at her phone and saw the live feed of the nanny cam that showed the fallen dresser.

"I run downstairs, fling open the door, I had heard nothing...I just opened the door and they're quietly playing in their room in the corner," she added.
