Youngsters frequently lack awareness of the dangerous outcomes that can result from heedlessly adopting trends they come across online. Sadly, Tommie-Lee Billington, an innocent 11-year-old kid, lost his life as a result of this ignorance. His bereaved family is now alerting people to the risks that can be found on social media.
Tommie met a risky challenge on TikTok at a stay at a friend’s house, which led to the tragic event. To reach a high in this specific task, you had to inhale hazardous gasses or solvents. Tommie’s heart stopped abruptly, which was shocking and led to his untimely death.
This tragic loss is not an uncommon occurrence. In addition, two teenage girls perished while taking part in the same risky TikTok “challenge.” To safeguard our kids, we must raise awareness of this potentially fatal tendency and take appropriate action.
Sherry, Tommie’s mother, has resorted to social media to encourage parents to talk openly with their kids and stop them from acting riskily on TikTok. She shares on Facebook, “This cost my son his life from trying something other kids are doing,” in an emotional post. Please discuss the repercussions of this with your kids. I don’t see why someone would even attempt this! It’s really risky!
Sherry goes on to convey her pain and her determination to honor her son’s legacy by spreading awareness and preventing other kids from suffering the same terrible destiny. Let’s band together to help Tommie’s family through this awful period of loss and make sure that no other youngster is harmed by this dangerous trend.
Peace be with you, Tommie. We are so sorry for your family. Let’s now work together to promote this very essential message to ensure that no child dies needlessly.
WATCH : Sen. Tim Scott joined “The View” on Monday and it did not take long for the gloves to come off
South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott joined “The View” on Monday and it did not take Iong for the gloves to come off.
The show began fairly light-hearted with Scott speaking about his 2024 presidential campaign, but ended up sparring with co-host Sunny Hostin after she pressed him to define “systemic rac ism.”
The conversation began when Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Scott about his optimistic message and his running on his Iife story of having overcome great adversity to live the American dream. Then, Hostin hijacked the conversation and attempted to spar with Scott over his positions.
The interview got so tense at one moment that Goldberg asked the crew for help when she was demanding Scott stop talking so they could cut to commerciaI.
Below is a partial transcript of the exchange:
HOSTIN: I am actually happy that you’re here. We — we — we have some things in common. You grow up — you grew up in a singIe-family household, single-mother household, I grew up with both of my parents but raised in the Bronx projects amidst a lot of poverty and — and — and violence. And you were the first black senator elected in the south since the reconstruction, that would be about — I think, about 114 years. Yet you say that your life disproves left—leftist lies. And — and —
Scott: Yes.
HOSTIN: my question to you is, I’m the exception, right? You’re the exception. Maybe even Ms. Whoopi Goldberg is the exception but — but —
HAINES: She is definitely the exception.
