Many people are paying tribute to an 11-year-old boy who died after following a dangerous new trend called chroming.
After the death of Tommie-Lee Gracie Billington, her family is asking parents to teach their kids about the terrible effects of the social media craze.
Tina Burns, the boy’s sad grandma, says he died “instantly” after trying out the distressing trend.
She said: “Tommie-Lee went into cardiac arrest immediately and died right there and then. The hospital did everything to try and bring him back but nothing worked. He was gone.”
When Burns talked about her grandson, she said that he 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.
