Tributes are pouring in for an 11-year-old boy who tragically d!ed after taking part in a dangerous new chroming trend.
Tommie-Lee Gracie Billington’s heartbroken family is urging parents to educate their children about the devastating consequences of the social media craze following their loss.
The schoolboy’s grief-stricken grandmother, Tina Burns, claims he d!ed ‘instantly’ after trying out the concerning trend.
She said: “Tommie-Lee went into cardiac arrest immediately and d!ed right there and then. The hospital did everything to try and bring him back but nothing worked. He was gone.”
Paying tribute to her grandson, Burns said the 11-year-old had a ‘heart of gold’ and was ‘a bright, energetic boy.’
She told the Lancashire Post: “We don’t want any other children to follow TikTok or be on social media.
“In fact, we want to get TikTok taken down and no children to be allowed on any social media under 16 years of age.”
Tommie-Lee’s heartbroken mother also urges parents to reconsider their children’s social media usage.
