TikTok Should Be Banned

‘I feel like someone encouraged her’: Girl, 12, found dead at her Argentina home after practicing viral TikTok 'blackout challenge' – aunt says she was found hanging by a rope and friends watched her kill herself on livestream


Milagros Soto died at her home in Santa Fe, Argentina, on Friday after doing the viral TikTok 'blackout challenge'
The 12-year-old girl is said to have received a link from a classmate before participating in the dare
Soto placed a rope around her neck while she held her breath and twice tried to remove it and failed
She tried a third time and was unable to get the rope off before she died
The child's death was caused by 'mechanical asphyxia by hanging' and 'there are no signs of abuse or third party intervention'

Another thing President Trump was right about.
Still, I can't help but think that if a 12-year-old could do something that stupid, it might have only been a matter of time before she found a reason to do something equally stupid and deadly.

I can't disagree. But kids succumb easily to pier pressure.

@AbbeyRhode I think it has a lot to do with the way social media influences us and especially the pressure it can build up is dangerous for kids. TikTok should be banned.
God bless the girl it's devastating.

@AbbeyRhode if we create a narrative that Tik Tok is racist, the stupids will gouge their eyes out before touching iy

@Budwick True. Parents really need to be aware of what their kids are doing online.
