If you ask me TikTok is designed to dumb down the western world, and personally I'd be ok with banning TikTok. However parents need to be, ya know, parents.
The ultimate bioweapon
"Patents", I'd bet $100 the kid was raised by a single mom. Those strong and independent ladies always raise the best and brightest, innit bruv?!
No ish. Just like how them drugs. Everything is coming from china. To effect the western world. Honestly
We still have youtube shorts though
Yup good luck with that
why does TikTok have an obsession with creating "challenges" that 80% of the time end with someone dying?
Because it’s a hub for idiot kids to do idiot kid stuff
Because it's designed to do just that. The owners are getting exactly what they wanted. I don't know why people don't understand that.
Why would a Chinese company care if American kids die?
@@MewsDabest They care in the sense that it's their goal.
It's because people are just dumb
The “Chrome Challenge” is literally Huffing, it’s been a well know way for drug addicts to get high from huffing fumes from Aerosol cans for decades now. While I highly blame Tic-Tok for being a predatory cancer, solely blaming them is literally scapegoating. Where was the legal guardian for these literal children?
It's easier to blame the inanimate object.
Probably in another room nearby not expecting their kids to be huffing fumes because tiktok told them to. Honestly though while I can understand seeing negligence as the main cause I also think the idea that a parent not constantly helicoptering their kid being viewed as negligence is harboring on silly in some cases. Parents cannot possibly be on top of their kids at all times forever and as kids grow they are normally afforded some level of autonomy. As sad as it is sometimes kids get into and do things they shouldn't no matter how diligent the parents are and sometimes it happens pretty fast.
You see the guardians handed them the device with TikTok so they wouldn’t have to parent. It’s about 99% on the parents for not paying attention to what their kids are doing and 1% on TikTok for allowing this to become a “trend.” It really isn’t new though, huffing been a thing for a long time now
SOLELY, I agree, but that does NOT dissolve them of responsibility in PROMOTING it. If a kid buys a pack of cigarettes do we ONLY punish the parents for not stopping them from using them?
It's time to stop acting like TikTok's dopamine feed isn't just as much of an unhealthy, addictive product.
Same thing I’m saying like you can’t go out and buy a can of spray paint under the age of 18 or 21 I forget. This is literally the same thing as if a child broke into their parents liquor cabinet and gave themselves alcohol poisoning and died these are regulated goods they can’t just be in reach of a group of children
I remember when going to round 30 on old school cod zombies is considered a “challenge”
Getting to round 40 was a challenge to me.
still cant make it to round 30
Doing certain actions in Fallout: New Vegas, as well.
That at least _is_ a challenge, and somewhat easy on certain maps, and when you have played some maps enough times.
now doing that is an actual challenge. my highest round to this day is Round 34 on Kino Der Toten in the OG Black Ops on PS3
80s baby here. We called this huffing.
That's what confused me must be a uk term because the us it's called huffing I guess over there it's called chroming
Wonder if this 'Chroming' thing came from the Mad Max; Fury Road movie. In the movie, Warboys would spraypaint their teeth chrome before performing a sort of ritualistic suicide. Maybe they or one of them watched the movie, thought recreating the Warboy death ritual would make them go viral and they didnt realize inhaling spraypaint will absolutely schedule you an appointment with God.
Ariplane glue
@@kobra6660from the uk and I can safely say, at least in my area (south west) I have never heard it be called Chroming 💀 always has been Huffing, not a clue where the other name’s come from
@@antichrist8543I'm all the way from Canada and I can confirm it's huffing never heard of chroming 🤣
Chroming comes off like some sick Cyberpunk joke. In the worst way possible.
It's exactly wat u think from cyberpunk
that was my first thought☠️☠️ i was like aint no way this kid found a ripperdoc
was thinking Mad Max fury road where they Chrome their mouth before dying
It's a Mad Max reference
I thought it was a reference
Parents bear some responsibility for giving their children iPhones, and the rest of it lays on the apps ridiculous algorithmic trends.
"Parents just don't understand" -Will Smith
“Parents just don’t understand”
- EDP445
"Parents just don't understand" -Jeffery Epstein
Parents bare almost all the responsibility, an 11 year old can’t buy himself an iPhone or access the internet without help from an adult and most often a parent. Maybe there’s outliers where a friend shows the kid something, or he sees it at school, but again a parent should watch out for that stuff.
All the algorithm is supposed to do is maximize screen time for like… ad revenue or something. Idk maybe the algorithm can be weaponized but you’d need to be able to look at the source code.
Yk, maybe banning TikTok isn’t such a bad idea
word, instagram reels would be a pretty good substitute
They need to ban tik tok so bad
and temu
The solution isn't banning an app cause someone does something. The solution is that children shouldn't be given access to social media. 7 year olds own iPhones today.
How about twitch and kick and UA-cam
TikTok is the one thing I'm okay with the US banning, that platform is an internet cancer
Just want to start this with saying that I despise tiktok as a platform and the company behind it. But two major things come from it being banned. One, how vague is the bill banning it? Will people begin to use said bill, designed for a good reason, to censor just about anything? That's exactly what France is going through right now. And two, the ripple effect of that much internet cancer has already happened, where are the people going to go if it gets banned? By this point, it might actually be worse for the internet and the country as a whole if it gets banned, should've been stomped out way earlier on but that's not possible with our messed up legal system, and even then someone somewhere would've exploited it's ban for personal gain.
@@DeadRaider37I still hate TikTok and if it’s get banned then tiktokers will be on UA-cam to try to ruin it
How would it affect India? Or wherever you live
UA-cam wouldnt allow half of the garbage on tik tok@Newyorkgiants123
@@Newyorkgiants123brain dead response, just ignored his whole point
Parents dont want to parent. Thats the REAL problem
How are they, when both of them are at work then have to go to there second job when they get out of there first one?
@@nosphosferaoneeyedcat701get a child once your financially well off but people get kids early and it effects are iPad kid generation and trash parenting
@@nosphosferaoneeyedcat701 Sounds like a skil issue
@@nosphosferaoneeyedcat701 easy: don't have kids if you can't take care of them
So what's the real problem here?! Men....
I wouldn't go by the grandmother's word that it was a TikTok challenge. It was just plain old huffing, and kids have been doing it (and dying) as long as spray paint and air duster has existed.
blame the parents 100%. phones, PCs, TV is not a babysitter, or a device to not be monitored regularly. tiktok, is dangerous, but parents are negligent
Honestly, All these parents need to do is to literally just take care of their kids.
And how do you propose parents do that? When? While they're BOTH at work and it's a crime to have their kids with them in post places? How about we do more then just blaming all life's problems on parents who may well be doing the best they can but both have to work 40 or more hours a week and can't have their kids with them while working, and in some jobs, rightfully so to be fair? How about we also address the underlying REASONS why both parents have to be working so many hours to just afford to feed their kids? How about we look at the underlying reasons why we no longer allow parents to train their kids on family trades or professions? How about we look at why we call parents who actually allow their kids to get out into the world and experience life child abusers and force all parents to raise their kids as helicopter parents always hovering over them and wrapping our kids in bubble wrap so they never stop being kids. That's what was done starting with the Millennials and look where it got them?
How about instead of looking for a convenient scapegoat to blame, we take a broader look at all aspects of what we're doing that's causing this. Ask yourself this -- Do you just want a scapegoat to blame with the torches and pitchforks, or do you truly care about the kids and want to SOLVE the problem?
Banning TikTok would be the best call at this point
And then they all move to Twitter and do it again
then theyd have to ban youtube. because it wouldnt change anything.
@@Kwayjie do you even know why they’re trying to ban TikTok or are you just being an idiot?
But they are they are about to ban it pretty soon.
look i am no fan of tiktok but that's horseshit to suggest kids were not dying to dumb stuff like this before tiktok came along
Tiktok banning is due to users' personal information being sent to China... In spite of Tiktok CEO saying they don't give out personal information, they have been caught doing exactly that and whistleblowers confirmed it! That's the main reason they want to ban it, All the several "challenges" over the years that ended up killing children are just additional reasons they want to ban it.
yet they completely ignore temu, another platform doing similar things with people’s personal info thats also based in china, yet isn’t banned. ive heard there are fbi investigations for it but politicians are being hypocritical if they want to ban tiktok but not temu
yep.
You don’t need whistleblowers to even confirm it. CCP policy is that all user information from any company in China must be handed over to the CCP. So if TikTok is owned by a company based in China, which is easily verifiable, then you can very easily assume that they give your data to China
@@romie-777the government mostly don’t care about Temu because they’re not selling the information to China. There’s some political reason behind the push to ban TikTok since the USA isn’t exactly the best of friends with China
@@romie-777it also begs the point of how many of our own politicians does the CCP own?
The kids likely did it when the parents were asleep. I did plenty of things my parents didn't know about and 30 years later still don't. They could have easily snuck some chemicals out of one of the cabinets and nobody would have been aware til it was too late.
finally some one said it
The fact that parents think the internet is even remotely safe for kids are passing on bad genes. Parents need to step up and tell their kids no.
Anything labelled as a challenge is basically a child killer. Don't ever do it.
The internet is unsafe, but children should not take the fact that they can use their brain for granted
everytime my sister ask for internet sometimes and I say "no" she gets very mad and swings her hands at me
Anyone who makes these "challenges" should be put in prison.
It's probably the Chinese government 🤫
That TikTok PROMOTES it is the bigger problem.
@@TheNuclearGeekit doesn't tho no one on tiktok has ever seen or heard of this trend huffing has been around forever and we cant blame an app for it
I hope Tiktok gets banned in the US. Its been banned in India since 2020. And for a good reason (Update. Though now after watching this video completely. I will admit. I can see where you're coming from that it being banned could be a blessing. Or a curse)
Funny how the us tries to say communist is bad yet the is allows tiktok to operate in America
If it's already banned in your country, why do you care it it's banned in America?
@@kobra6660because “tiktok = communist” literally what??
Based India
The fact I don't even know what they even mean, probably shows i am better off than them

It’s for the best. If you understand what TikTokers saying while an effect happens every 3 seconds that is not a good sign.
another question that needs to be asked is "where did this challenge even come from?". which account started the challenge and how did that wind up in a kids' feed? the reason that's important is because if the person who started it knew that kids were going to be doing it then that opens up a new set of problems.
Kinda messed up people are saying “Darwinism” against a child.
A child that doesn’t even have a fully developed brain or understand the concept of mortality.
It's bad to say online where it'll be used to trash someone who's dead, but they're not wrong many who were his age could not relate to huffing poison gas for funsies.
Tell the second part to the LGBT community.
When I heard that I immediately thought of 4chan and encyclopedia dramatica
You should know better by 11. It'd be a different story if they were less than 6
Natural selection at its finest
That's some serious chrome choom

@@GiggyWiggy2086of course not but cyberpunk is great

Rip 11 years old kid, No one should experience such loss, he had whole life ahead of him. Honestly these trend need to tone it down
Its not a trend. Nobody heard of this challenge until this death. Its called huffing paint. His death is not tiktoks fault.
“Chroming” is just huffing, kids have been doing this since at least the 80s-90s and probably since the invention of spray paint and air duster. This isn’t some TikTok challenge that popped up recently, it’s just easier to blame TikTok and the government than to take responsibility as a parent for neglecting your child’s safety so blatantly.
@@parke6704 Then whos fault is it?
@@sparks6177 Tiktok should still be banned.
@@detective2221 parents
Honestly, we need to figure out how to keep kids off the net at this point. Short of educational sites. Too many parents let their kids on the net without any supervision often not even using any parental controls. And social media sites need to also be completely removed from anyone under 16.
Social media sites need to be removed period.
@@detective2221how about those that are older than 16?
I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Children in abusive households can benefit greatly from private access to social media 🤷♂️
people blame this on "tiktok challenges" but kids have been doing things like abusing solvents for decades. feels like we are finding new blames for the same old problems
nope, its tiktok. No, its not 'new' but you know why its spreading NOW? Tiktok. They dont regulate, nor monitor the platform and therefore need to be banned, and possibly sued.
Yeah but.. Kids wouldn't consider doing this unless they seen it on tiktok. So it's safe to say if the boy never had TikTok he wouldn't have done it, parents are responsible though. So I would say in my personal opinion 60% parents fault, 40% TikTok. I have a 10 year old son, TikTok is banned in our house on all devices myself and my husband we don't even use it.
I don't TikTok is to blame, it's literally your job as a parent to teach you children not to do obviously dangerous things like this.
This is why millennials is failing their efforts to be a parent
@@Newyorkgiants123my mom is a millennial and she raised me perfectly fine. I understand that that's only a personal anecdote, but it's not only millennials themselves that are causing this problem; it's the rise of technology and the decline in free time. If the economy was this bad during Gen-X years and there was access to mobile devices to make parenting easier, this would have heppened then. Growing relationships with and raising your child is ironically more difficult now than it was 30+ years ago because of the need to be constantly working and not having time to raise children
When are we going to stop blaming social media companies and start looking at the real problem: Parents letting their kids in the internet when they’re too young and not monitoring what they’re looking at. Be a parent and stop expecting social media platforms to be a parent for you.
Banning TikTok is akin to treating symptoms instead of the illness. Social Media platforms are like hydra, cut one head and more will appear to take its place....
No, it's arresting the drug dealers. And a Chinese social media controlled platform IS different. And don't say it isn't, they've already been busted several times violating data laws.
They're not banning TikTok because it's bad for kids, they're banning TikTok because it's basically just CCP spyware.
It's the promotion of short form content that needs to be banned. It's been a net negative for society ever since it became a thing.
@@TheNuclearGeek and then more dealers appear to take their place, you need to take out the supplier
@@yanik5480 Or scare the population, to choke the supplier out of their buyers.
I legit thought your title said "grooming challenge" not chroming.
That's what I thought at first too lol
The Peter Scully Challenge
I thought chroming referred to people painting their mouths like they did in Mad Max Fury Road. This is somehow even worse.
actors used edible color for chrome paint
I remember parents use to frown upon other parents giving phones to kids young. I remember it being a big deal getting one when i was 12 and now they hand them out before they can walk definitely a parent thing
TikTok needs to just be outright banned in countries like the USA, UK, Europe in a whole etc.
Its not tiktoks fault. Huffing paint has been around forever and nobody had heard of “chroming.” Parents just need to learn to keep their kids off of 13+ apps and make sure their kids dont huff paint. Like how did he even get the can? He can’t drive.
fr
@@parke6704 Tiktok is spying on you.
Social media should always be available for people 16 or older. No younger, exceptions made for things like Spotify.
In the UK you can get all of these items for chroming as they aren't age restricted.
Parental controls are so easy to get around - its not a valid argument.
TikToks terms and conditions are horseshit and don't protect anyone but them so yes they should be banned or told to revise the terms to make it fair on both ends.
Parents cant be expected to keep up on everything online in real time.
The Grandmother should've payed attention yes but if TikTok had actual moderation against this moronic behaviour he wouldnt have seen it in the first place.
as someone who uses tiktok daily from anywhere to an hour or two, ive never heard of "chroming" and i would consider myself very tapped in with trends and such. the uk may have different things go viral but i cant be the only one to have heard of this years back before tiktok was even a thing, dumb things have always existed like this with youtube challenges and such so i dont see why the blame solely has to be placed on one social media as that wouldnt really be fair. i do wish the one affected peace and my heart goes out to the families affected.
Once Tik-Tok is banned, another app will come up doing the exact same thing. The process will be never-ending.....
"Don't try this at home"
wonder what happened to that. It's never stated with any real facts and consequences, therefore causing people to challenge themselves how close they can straddle the line of success or death
I really think we should blame the parents here. Don't ban things because you can't parent your kid.
However, you should ban things that spy on you from China.
Yes.
I feel bad for kids growing up in todays world. If you don't have tiktok or snapchat or if you don't have a lot of followers then you're left out and made fun of, it's just sad. The pier pressure keeps getting worse and worse. We have literal kids vaping and taking pills just because it's "cool".
All the tik tok "crazes" or "challenges" should be called "dying crazes" or "dying trends".
Dude, I’m from TikTok and this trend literally never existed. This is literally paint huffing trying to be covered up by TikTok?
I personally don’t agree with TikTok being banned, as I don’t think everyone on the platform should be punished because of this. But I agree that parents should monitor their children’s social media accounts if they are under the age of 18.
True if TikTok gets banned then the TikTokers will be on yt to try to ruin it and it will make things even worse i think TikTok should be banned for non cringe users and let the cringe user use TikTok
Getting TikTok ads on these videos kills me dog
fr tho tiktok ads are the absolute worst they are the cringiest ads u can get
Chad Thundercock remembers being 11.
Huffing paint was readily apparent as a bad idea at that age. Chad Thundercock knew not to huff paint when he was 11.
Based
So did I, but then again, I grew up in a rough town, where a lot of cautionary tales were walking around.
@@Aspydragon
Chad Thundercock appreciates your praise. May the rock star parking spot be open for you on your next errand.
This sounds like your kid got into the cabinet they wasn't suppose to. Not a Tik Tok problem but a parenting problem.
I think we should combine challenges like the milk crate challenge while doing the cinnamon challenge as someone is pouring a bucket of boiling hot water on you instead of ice while walking across the crates.

Banning TikTok is a genius idea
I'd say, far from it. Lacks nuance. Think about it...if Tiktok is banned, where are these people and their "challenges" going? If it's due to our *data* being *sold* to the CCP, then we're fine with Google selling *ours* to *our own* government? Shouldn't UA-cam and Intstagram be banned too? Who's the ones giving small children who don't know better unrestricted access to all of social media? There's so many questions and thoughts many don't take the time considering when giving this sentiment.
BE A PARENT!!! We shouldn't lose our freedom because of dumb kids and parents not doing their jobs.
pretty sure tiktok is not needed for freedom to stay a thing
Are you serious?
@@godlynewbie you’re missing the point.
I have TikTok for what i think are pretty normal reasons.
Skits, memes and random facts that i can bring up to a friend and have them ask "why do you know that?"
But i swear these "challenges" just come up outta nowhere and i only learn about them when they get out if hand or someone dies.
Maybe the solution is to give a kid an offline device instead. Nobody was getting caught up in social media bullcrap like this back when kids only had a Gameboy Advance.
I can vouch for that. Superstar Saga pretty much taught me how to read.
Heart of gold, brain of tin. Ain’t no way the kid thought a ripperdoc would save him after trying to chrome himself.
"He had a heart of gold." And lungs of chrome I guess.

This is exactly what I was thinking!
I unironically view Tiktok as a psychohazard
Honestly, blaming tiktok & removing it makes sense.
They do literally NOTHING when these "challenges" come out. It just encourages others to try it as no one gets punished.
This “trend” never existed. It’s literally just paint huffing covered up by TikTok.
This never existed this has been happening ever since the 80s
what about the other dangerous trends? this is why tiktok needs to be banned asap!@@butterbeatle
I remember someone in my elementary school doing something similar. The difference they were trying to get high by inhaling the scents of magic markers.
These were the older versions the ones that had higher concentrations of chemicals/scents. These were also the ones where you COULD get high from magic markers.
The person was fine afterward and did indeed get high for a bit.
That said, I don't recommend smelling chemicals from products at all.
Most products have warning labels about swallowing them but no warning about the dangers of inhaling/smelling the chemicals within the product.
too bad the parents didn't teach their kids NOT to directly smell products with dangerous chemicals in them.
you can teach kids stuff but that doesn't mean they will listen and not do said things
I’ve been saying this for years… TIKTOK HAS TO GO.
It sounds like they're conflating "chroming challenge" with "huffing." It's not exactly a new thing and has always been just as deadly. You haven't heard of the other dead kids in this "challenge" because they weren't doing it for a social media "challenge" they were just getting high in the worst way. So yeah I doubt its an actual "viral" tiktok challenge. It's more than likely just some dumb kids who unfortunately didn't think of the very negative side effects to huffing strong chemicals to get that high feeling. Parents need to parent.
huffing chrome paint like its mad max
TikTok trends have been nothing but massive endangerment towards the youth since the day the app surfaced, causing nothing but deaths, this app needs to be banned ASAP
1:03 bro I remember the cinnamon challenge, I even did the ice bucket challenge
As a 14-year-old, instead of Raising TikTok's age requirement to 18+, I say ban the app as a whole.
It'd just become Instagram 2.0 if they raised the age to 18+.
@dream get this boi
Trying so hard to be different nga you a cornball
@@johannderjager4146 Good point, fr.
@Mrbobbyboo did I do something wrong. Don't know what you're trying to say, though.
Honestly as a person who grew up with a family that gave me full internet access, parents really need to stop putting their kids in front of screens as a way to get out of parenting. Ive seen and been through a lot both online and in my personal life, most could've been avoided if my mother was attentive as a mother rather than shoving a laptop and phone in my face. I was smart enough to not join any "challenges" but not knowledged enough to stop the abuse i went through online. The lack of parenting is just laziness at its finest and the internet is their way of passing the responsibility of parenting onto something else. Although i do understand that some parents just arent knowledged about the internet just as much as their children, they still shouldnt let their young children indulge in something they dont know the full extent of.
how is tiktok not banned yet
Because china needs to keep collecting data
CHINA NUMBA ONE🐕🐕🐕
this is why I always say that its reasonable for tiktok to get banned its not only stealing data, but causing deaths and horrible trends 😭😭
No its not, dumb parents and dumb kids are causing deaths, half of these trends aren’t real
I’ve never heard of “chroming” until now. Trust me, it’s not a trend.
It’s called huffing and it’s been around for decades. Tiktok is not what’s causing this. Parents who don’t parent are to blame
huffing is primarily a parenting issue but yeah it's chinese spyware, get it outta here.
When I was in school it was called “huffing” and it involved sharpies or glue. But me and my friends used to make fun of kids who did that.
"if you take the blue pill, you think tik-tok should be held accountable; if you take the red pill, you think the parents should be held accountable"

"d-did you just take both pills?"

wont change anything, people will use another app, just dont give a phone if ur kid is dumb

@@drewtheartists8479 Yhh
I mean, the boy wasn't going to be President or anything. The parents failed this kid pretty hard too though. I taught my kids not to follow other kids when they jump from bridges. They're adults now and still alive.
Personally when I was 11 I knew not to spary chemicals in my mouth but thats just me
@@GiggyWiggy2086 Right?
I actually think, a lot of the problems are coming from the same source. Lack of parent supervision, raised by the internet. Children today compared to merely 20 years ago the start of the 2000s, seem to be missing a lot of skills and lessons that are meant to be taught by their parents. In fact many of them can't count, oblivious to common daily dangers, many don't even look when they cross the road. The are also rabid like, very quick to violence and swearing.
I even dare say they're raised by parents who where never fit to be parents.
@@Historyfan476AD I sometimes feel I didn't do enough to prepare them well enough for all of life's challenges and then I meet a 2023/4 Tween in the wild. All that guilt vanishes.
There legit proof. Our kids are actually dumb af. Studies been tested. Im so happy i grew up in the mid-late 90's and early 2000's as a kid. Ur right. 20 years. Child had skills, were more mature actually. Maybe bc world wasnt safe ? Bc of now its too safe and kids are loosing the awareness got to comfy.
It's just dumb how most of these challenges are obviously dangerous yet people still do it. Remember the milk carton challenge? A lot of people hurt themselves and died too. I saw one on Twitter she was on top and broke her back and boom she was gone right there. It's sad to see challenges take over and harm kids and everyone especially to bystanders as well
Thank you opti for having accurate captions. I've never really used cc before but I'm on the city bus and my headphones died 😂
Bring back overall safe challenges like ouija board 12AM, or like 3AM fidget spinner
yeah looking back it was goofy af but at least no one died (Hopefully)
I’m sure a demon or two was released from a ouija board but that’s nothing compared to the damage of challenges like the Benadryl challenge
When i was 11 i had a normal cell phone that was only made for calling playing on gameboy and ps1 with an Xbox 360 and psp
Watching TV Playing basketball and base ball and seeing a Teacher getting a pie in face i would even go shopping a Lot with my own mom
Like??? What even is going on....
They are chroming choom
kids are being raised by tablets/smartphones, not parents now
The only 'challenge' that was worthwhile or atleast wholesome and not toxic/dangerous was the challenge where kids asked their parents/grandparents to try and skip, as if they did as kids, after you know 20-40 years, they forgot the muscle memory in order to do it and look derpy, that was wholesome and nice to see, nothing dangerous or deadly.
I can't say for certain when it was taught, but I'm pretty sure in school we learned not to huff chemicals around that age. I also remember whenever we had a young kid over I was asked by my mother to help move cleaning stuff away from places easy for them to reach. TikTokk does need to do more to prevent this, but ultimately it falls to those actually in the childs life to properly guide them. Failing that they should at least reach the very low bar of being in the same room sometimes.
Tiktok scapegoat. Remember the tide pod challenge? Not on tiktok. Any platform where children run to will have these outcomes. Especially with the increase of iPad kids and popularity hunger
While I do agree with what you said, you would be surprised that many parents--even the "tech generation" ones--do not really know what they can do with the internet or even parental control accounts. So I'm not really surprised that they foist the responsibility to the gov, because they don't know they have the tools and could have help prevent this sort of things. Also would help if they help raise their kids to question and not imitate the imbeciles in social media challenges.
You would think the tech savvy parents to be able to help with this issue
We were taught to have proper ventilation when spray painting something from a distance due to the fumes. Sometimes you would have to both wear a facemask and do the spray outdoors. From that perspective, it makes sense that the "chroming" challenge is extremely dangerous and that theres a reason why spray paint has far stricter regulation than regular paint.
I blame the parents themselves for not being aware of what their children are doing online. I have nephews who are not even allowed to have phones until they’re 15 because one the family can’t afford it and two it helps to regulate what they are doing online.
I hate how everyone blames the parents when something like this happens. Oh a girl killed someone? Must be the parents in someway, oh someone looked at something on Social Media? In this case, dying from sniffing paintfumes is honestly the last thing that comes to my mind, and it's not always obvious on what kids do, they can be secretive and hide things. Even if things like this was blocked the kid's friends could've shown him the trend anyways and peer pressured him into doing it.
I blame BOTH the parents and TikTok.
At 11 years old i knew no to play with dangerous chemicals.
lil timmy be like, "WITNESS MEEEE!!!"
3:22 making fun of someone for dying is just wrong. so many people are morally horrible nowadays.
People really make fun of everybody's death nowadays it's so disgusting the moral values are really long gone
That TikTok ban can’t come soon enough
Clearly, Optimus hasn't been invited to sleepovers. The kids were able to do it when the parents were asleep, most likely. They're not going to do it when the parents are awake.
Does this kid lack common sense?
100% the parent’s fault. If they actually did their job their child wouldn’t be dead.
thank you
I think to some degree it's to make something that could technically be considered illegal as a "Grey Area". If I made a video and called it the "Huffing Paint Video" that wouldn't be allowed, but if I change the title to "Huffing Paint Challenge" because it's labeled as a "Challenge" then it gets bypassed. These videos are teaching people how to "Game End Themselves" what's the ultimate goal that you survived and weren't horribly injured? Tiktok should pretty much have a filter that shows up everyday where if the title says "Challenge" it should be combed over immediately and bam problem solved. Any Challenge video seems to have some sort of blurred lines.
Any dangerous challenge should be deleted. Immediately. Someone should monitor this
Honestly banning Tik Tok will do next to nothing. Something else will take its place. Where were the adults when these kids were doing this? If I were the parent I'd be suing the parents who were supervising instead of blaming Tik Tok.
Exactly. Banning a social media platform won’t stop kids from making bad decisions.
Yes! Or finding another platform. Or bypassing parental locks, or being shown things by other kids.@@is34preteristforce
True don’t blame TikTok blame the parents
Darwin award nominee. Harsh but true.
Here is a new challenge. The "grow up and be a responsable citizen" challenge.
honestly, it’s things like this where I don’t even care if TikTok gets banned anymore all it’s doing is just harming more people,
And this is why Tiktok needs to be banned…
orrr parents need to pay attention to their kids
@@CADAVRR666That too.
@@CADAVRR666that’s never going to happen unless you can forcefully prevent parents from giving their kids electronics whenever they need them distracted
or instead of blaming social media we can promote good parenting!!! wake up - it's not social media's fault. we didn't see loads of kids doing challenges on UA-cam and dying, yeah? it's because of the parents. not the app. but of course, it's much easier to blame an inanimate object rather than take responsibility..typical.
@@K3NN3DY_101 if there was only a way to force parents to be better
Note: I’m also in favor of being harsh against social media that way you can limit access for lunatics to gather in large numbers. It’s unfortunate that social media amplifies the voices of lunatics
Or just dont give them a phone why does an 11 year old need a phone
Being a computer illiterate parent in today's world is a head scratcher.
Anyone one else thinking about mad max? These kids going full “Witness me!”
lol bro…… I can’t believe huffing
Chemicals is a trend. Huffing chrome has to be a cyberpunk thing. 😂
RIP
Parents failed at parenting
huffing sharpies was a thing at one point
Wonder if this 'Chroming' thing came from the Mad Max; Fury Road movie. In the movie, Warboys would spraypaint their teeth chrome before performing a sort of ritualistic suicide. Maybe they or one of them watched the movie, thought recreating the Warboy death ritual would make them go viral and they didnt realize inhaling spraypaint will absolutely schedule you an appointment with God.
