An 11-year-old boy in the UK, Tommie-Lee Gracie Billington, died after participating in the dangerous "chroming" social media challenge, where fumes from household products are inhaled to get high. The incident occurred during a TikTok craze at a friend's house, resulting in cardiac arrest. The grieving family is urging social media platforms to enforce stricter safety measures for children. Tommie-Lee's grandmother, Tina Burns, believes social media companies should be held accountable and, in extreme cases, shut down to prevent similar tragedies. Chroming videos on social media have led to a concerning trend and multiple teenage fatalities worldwide.
