Family warns of viral TikTok ‘Benadryl Challenge’ after daughter dies

The family of an Oklahoma teen who died attempting the “Benadryl Challenge” on TikTok is warning others that the dangerous stunt “needs to stop.”

Chloe Phillips, 15, a sophomore at Blanchard High School, overdosed on the allergy drug Aug. 21 while taking part in the TikTok challenge to film oneself hallucinating from the medication, the Sun reported.

“This needs to stop taking our kids or putting them in the hospital,” Phillips’ great-aunt, Janette Sissy Leasure, reportedly wrote on Facebook in a post that has since been deleted or is no longer shared publicly.

More power to 'em. Should be applauded for their efforts to improve the gene pool.

This is such and unfair statement. You can do everything right as a parent, but the child is their own person and can make bad choices. I appreciate the parents sharing their story to inform others. It is a sad situation. And if their sharing their story helps to save another child, kudos to them. 6:51, you obviously don't have children, and of you do, God help you.

Aren't these the people all the Liberal asses are promoting as a combination 'social site/ and Chinese Authoritarian Culture Giant'? What a gaggle of idiots who now are in a 'lifestyle cartoon'. I don't know this kid but I do know if his parents had spent more time lecturing him on the perils of letting people who have no clue, run his life,he'd still be alive.
I actually, usually, have no compassion for the damn fools who self inflict their own tortures. I have made an exception in this case because of immaturity and poor guidance. I, would like to wring the last breath out of the bastard on line, who instigated such madness and caused what could have been a scholar, who makes a contribution to the World, that would be so Earth jarring there could be no chance it would be ignored. I'm mad because it could have directly affected MY well being.
Funny, there's always an ambulance chaser available and at the disposal of scum like BLM criminals, who are a blight on the USA, yet, for this family there's no recourse because either there is no jurisdiction, no law, or nobody gives a damn. If the father goes bad and tries to find the culprit and take the appropriate action, he goes to the clink when that justice which is meted out, and in the reality of it, is the only true justice they'll get some Liberal bullshitter would say how depraved he is.
There's a lot wrong here folks. It needs to reversed and the sores of this Country healed by force if necessary.
