Another tragedy related to dangerous internet trends has occurred in the UK. 12-year-old Sebastian Cizman was found lifeless in his own home on the day his family celebrated the christening of his younger brother. According to preliminary data, the boy decided to try a deadly challenge that continues to spread on social networks.

The doctors who arrived at the call made every possible attempt to resuscitate the child, but they were unable to save him. At the hospital, doctors pronounced the teenager dead. The mother of the deceased, Kasia Cizman, in an emotional address called on parents to more carefully monitor their children's activity on the Internet and check their phones, writes aif.ru.

"How many more children must die before social networks begin to bear responsibility?" asks the grief-stricken mother of the child.

This is far from the first case of British teenagers dying from a deadly trend. In 2022, four families lost their children due to a similar challenge, after which they sued the popular social network.
