Is there any report on what the "online challenge" was? Not to be morbid but it's important to report these things, so that parents can have a talk with their kids about these dangerous crazes that go around and explain how dangerous they can be.
There was one a couple of years back that had teenagers eating spoonfuls of pure caffeine powder. Resulted in several cardiac arrests. The "Cinnamon challenge" can be dangerous too and has put people in respiratory distress. |

I didn’t realise this was caused by an online challenge, I recall at the time they said it was an accident, her beautiful boy, they need to give Mum and Dad more time to come to terms with what is going on, I think he might be their only child as well? The key word in the article for me is he is ‘unlikely’ to recover which indicates there is hope

Having read the reports, I think it is some form of asphyxiation challenge. Some horrific online stuff out there that kids are too young to know the risks about. I am very wary of what my son does online - he is not allowed to have his phone etc upstairs - I don't necessarily check up on what he is watching but he is always around when he's on his phone so I know he's not up to anything too dodgy (I think)

what a waste, was it sexual? I know this type of thing is very common, shocking for a 12 year old to be participating in such activity.

Honestly a terrible situation for the family to be in.
Hopefully a miracle will happen and he pulls through.

It's a heartbreaking situation - obviously any parent is going to cling to hope if they can tell themselves that their child is still alive. The sad reality of course is that they will be certain that he has no hope of recovery but again, expecting any parent to accept that is huge.
The morals of it are very complicated. I feel like in moral terms, if he's truly braindead then he isn't suffering... if they're arguing that he may be suffering then he isn't braindead. And so, what harm is there continuing like this a little longer. Sadly the parents are more likely to at some point accept the truth as time passes. If it's purely a resources issue that just starts to become really awful. |

Terribly sad. I think the parents are in a state of shock and denial. He's been described as brain stem dead. If it's the brain stem then yeah unfortunately he's dead or dying and will not survive Too many of these crazy challenges. I remember AJ off strictly and his girlfriend doing one to record to show their followers on Instagram. It involved setting fire to a wine bottle to make a vase. The whole thing ignited and set alight to Abbie his girlfriend. These challenges are often an accident waiting to happen. Last edited by ThomasC; 13-06-2022 at 12:26 PM. |

It's an evil old world where you cant ease your own suffering by going down the assisted suicide route..but a judge can rule that someones life support be switched off.
