She wrote on Facebook: “As much as I hate talking about it, I need to raise awareness of what kids are trying nowadays. This cost my son his life from trying something other kids are doing.
“Please talk to your children about the consequences of this. It is beyond me why anyone would even try this! It’s so dangerous!”
Burns says Tommie Lee’s family wants to ‘help save other children’s lives,’ adding that parents have already thanked her for raising awareness.
Tommie-Lee was found unresponsive at a friend’s house in Lancaster on March 2.
A Lancashire Police spokesperson states (per Lancashire Telegraph): “Emergency services attended an address and found an 11-year-old boy unresponsive.
“Sadly he was later pronounced dead. The death is currently being treated as unexplained and the coroner has been informed.
“A police investigation is ongoing and the boy’s family are being supported by officers.
“Our thoughts are with the boy’s loved ones at this incredibly sad time. If anyone has any information they are asked to contact police.”
