Strangled herself
Germany: 13-year-old dies because of TikTok trend
Horror in Germany after the death of a 13-year-old girl from the district of Kassel: the schoolgirl had strangled herself to unconsciousness because of a TikTok challenge.
The family found the girl unconscious in her room on the night of April 26-27. An emergency doctor who was called could only determine that the 13-year-old had died.
Schoolgirl strangled herself to death
The parents finally made a gruesome discovery on the teenager's cell phone: the schoolgirl had recorded videos for a bizarre TikTok trend called the "Blackout Challenge", in which teenagers strangle themselves until they literally "black out" - in other words, until they lose consciousness.
The girl from Kassel had started several attempts, which she had recorded on video - the last one was fatal for the schoolgirl. The public prosecutor's office in Kassel confirmed the incident to local German media, saying that an investigation had been carried out.
"Take care of your children"
The schoolgirl was buried two weeks ago in her home town, with great sympathy from family and friends. In a post on Facebook, the girl's mother issued an urgent warning: "Take care of your children, social media destroys a lot."
