Tristan Casson died attempting the “blackout challenge” on TikTok, one of the world’s most popular apps, the boy’s mother, Taylor Davis said. As part of it, participants are challenged to hold their breath or asphyxiate themselves until they pass out.
In November, Bloomberg News reported that the blackout challenge has been linked to the deaths of at least 15 children ages 12 or younger in the past 18 months.and The Plain Dealer reached out to TikTok’s corporate offices in California for comment. “TikTok needs to control what it shows on its platform,” she said. “I have parental controls on everything, but these videos can pop out and be seen by children like my son no matter what.”
“I just wish that TikTok would ban these types of challenges from going around,” she said “It is killing our babies.”
