Parents are being warned of a potentially deadly new TikTok trend in which kids are challenged to hold their breath until they pass out. One Australian mother said she became aware of the stunt when she heard a loud thud from her 13-year-old son’s room. 

‘I ran up the stairs and as I got up the top of the stairs I could hear him like groaning,’ she said. She discovered that her son had done the challenge while in his room alone had narrowly avoided smacking his head on the desk.

TikTok said videos promoting dangerous challenges violate their community guidelines and are actively removed when found.
