My Son Didn T Want To Die Mother Warns After Boy S Death Makes Viral Tiktok Challenge

Lauryn Keating said she found her 14-year-old son Leon Brown unresponsive in his room at their home in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire on August 25. It was later learned that he had experienced the ‘blackout challenge’, a viral trend believed to have caused the brain injury that led to the death of 12-year-old Archie Battersbee last month. In the latest iteration of a dangerous dare, children film themselves holding their breath until they pass out from lack of oxygen before sharing the footage on social media. It has been blamed for several deaths so far, and some parents have sued the video-sharing app TikTok over claims that the platform’s algorithm promotes videos of other people doing the “blackout challenge”. After hearing that Leon had died for taking the challenge, Mrs Keating wrote a Facebook post warning that any child taking part in the trend was at risk of unintentionally killing themselves. He said: “I need every teenager and every parent to see this and understand the dangers of these Tiktok challenges. “A challenge is not worth your life, a few likes on social media are not worth your life. “My son (I’m sure all his friends will agree) was the class clown, he was happy, he was kind, he liked to make everyone laugh but most importantly he didn’t want to die. (Is provided) “No parent should see what I saw, no parent should experience what I am because of some stupid trend. Even if it saves a child’s life, it’s worth sharing.” Mrs Keating told Scotland’sDaily Record that one of her son’s friends said he saw Leon take the challenge on Facetime. She told the newspaper: “One of Leon’s friends told me he did the Facetime challenge with them after seeing it on TikTok. “Leon thought to me that he would be the one to try it first. He and his friends probably thought it was a laugh and a joke. “One of the guys he was on Facetime with told me what he had done. He said they thought they would wake up. But Leon didn’t turn back. It went horribly wrong.” He added: “I went on TikTok and wrote words similar to blackout. The amount of video results that came out of this is ridiculous.” Archie Battersbee spent months on life support before a judge ruled doctors could let him die (AP) Leon’s death came just weeks after Archie Battersbee’s removal on August 6. The 12-year-old died after months of legal battles that resulted in a court ruling that doctors could legally stop the boy’s care, despite his family’s objections. Archie’s mother, Hollie Dance, blamed the “blackout challenge” for the brain damage that led to his death and hit out at social media companies for not doing enough to prevent dangerous content from their platforms. TikTok was sued in May by the family of Nylah Anderson, a 10-year-old girl who died in the US last December after allegedly attempting the challenge. The parents of Lalani Erika Renee Walton, eight, and Arriani Jaileen Arroyo, nine, filed a lawsuit in July after their daughters allegedly died following an attempted challenge.
