. Jacob Stevens was participating in a TikTok challenge with some friends at home when he ingested the antihistamine, the family donation account states. Jacob was on a ventilator for almost a week before he died, according to WSYX. CNN has not independently confirmed his cause of death.
products and other diphenhydramine products should only be used as directed by the label.” “We are working with TikTok and other social platforms to remove content that showcases this behavior,” the statement added. “We will look to partner across industry and with key stakeholders to address this dangerous behavior.” CNN has reached out to TikTok, the Stevens family and Columbus Public Health for comment.
It’s not a tiktok problem. It’s a parenting problem. Adults need to start paying more attention to their stupid ass kids. I used to see these kinds of challanges on Facebook, YouTube, or any trendy media site at the time.
Ban tiktok to save even one life!
Aww so sad.
Tik tok needs to be band
The problem with today society is that they will do anything for likes and the need to be recognized. Common sense goes out the window😔The same goes for Twitter blue marks, yellow marks, and any other platform that advertises this kind of behavior. Humanity is an infant race🥺
Ummm… all about parenting! A kid dies on Whatever social media or gets shot in a “teen takeover” of Chicago! Do your fucking job! Your future grandchildren will appreciate it!
Darwin award winner.
Sorry for the family. But why does everyone now seem to see death as a opportunity for fundraising? A kid dies and it's how much $$ can a gofundme get us.
Somebody has to monitor what's being put on TikTok. Somebody must be responsible.
Darwinism.
Parenting.
How is not a lawsuit against tik tok, not just a lawsuit jail time for allowing it to be spread
What is the age limit to have a tik tok account? I have never made one and I'm curious. I am aware a parent could go around that, but I am curious what tik tok expects.
100% on the parents
Damn.. If they banned “The life of Rosa Parks” this would have never happened.
Look at y’all killing people
'Tik tok challenge' is just the modern day Darwin award.
That’s funny! Because I never see any of these challenges on TikTok, but I did see some on Facebook.
Why aren't there any TikTok challenges that involve cutting and trimming the grass? Or raking leaves? Or seeing who can get the best grades?
darwinism.
They gave us that after chemo treatments.
Who comes up with these dumb challenges?
Funny how none of you liberals call for an end to TikTok after these trends repeatedly end up killing teens 🤦🏻♂️
Where are the parents? Ppl raged against video games when it was convenient yet they ignore the damage that social media over exposure does. The companies are partly responsible but parents also need to step up
YouTube is wayyyyy more toxic than TikTok I limit how much my Son watches and what he watches...
FBI, DOJ and US media are not interested in suppressing that kind of content. But suggest that we need to know the origin of COVID and *account suspended* !
jaketapper Is the go fund me for a vasectomy?
But the democrats support TikTok says it’s important to us!
jaketapper Where are the parents?
Im sure the republicans will blame the mexicans
This isn’t about TikTok. This is about parenting.
Ban Benadryl NOW!
TikTok makes everything look like fun and games. Unfortunately the younger you are, the less likely you are to realize how stupid something can be 🫠
Be a wedding parent and take your kids phone and internet away.
So sorry for the family
Both tik tok and his family are at fault. This kid was well past old enough to know better. Thanks to negligence, he’s gone. I only have pity for him
This is terrible. My thoughts and prayers for the family and loved ones
Kids are sitting all day in front of their electronics doing dumb stuff. If that doesn't get them killed their brains wind up turning into mush with an inability to know about real facts or are completely gullible. GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND CELL PHONE!
Parents letting social media be parents.
Tik tok gotta go
Ah 'tiktok' the Chinese way of killing western youth. Mao would have been so proud.
Should have had a Tide Pod instead.
... if you let your kid have access to a cupboard full of medication AND you don't teach them that swallowing a bunch of Benadryl to 'see the hat man' is a terrible life choice, thats on you as a parent honestly
But shooting them up with an mRNA injectable products that leave a bunch of them with autoimmune issues and inflammation is for their health. We live in the dumbest timeline.
I don't feel bad for that..it's sad but cmon man
It's labeled to not do such things
Best parenting in America
This is so heartbreaking 💔 and I’m sorry but parents are doing the best we can in the age of social media -kids know how to find ways around blocking . The article stated that the FDA warned TikTok in 2020 and it’s now 2023. TikTok needs to do better.
Poor kid
Dumbass. Parents should of been more attentive
A gofundme but the parents wasn’t watching the child. Naw I pass I am not giving no money
People have been doing that for years with cough medicine to
That is not a TikTok challenge, quit lying. Fear mongering. My condolences to this kids family, but quit trying to spin that narrative. We all know why you want TT banned and it’s not to protect the children.
Those kids who have never experienced food, clothing and housing shortages and live in a cocoon are vulnerable to such acts unfortunately.
My brother and sister, please help me and my kids we are facing pains and hungry everyday here we don't have anything at home to eat I lost my leg and harm in a motor accident on my way going to work, I lost my job because of this and since my kids mother left us I have no ways
Stop lying , that wasnt a tiktok challenge
Ill America.
Wtf do you even need Benadryl I have literally never needed Benadryl for anything In my life
Heartbreaking.. but he was gonna get shot at some point anyway.. This is free America..
cierra_1103
Tik-Tok needs to be banned
My heart breaks for that family!!!💔😢😇🙏🏾
Reason enough for me to ban Tik Tok.
Heartbreaking 💔
Ban tiktok
No wonder you can't get benadryl anywhere
Heartbreaking 😭😭
How about you report on the 300,000 children that come over the border since Biden
Darwin's theory. Modern days.
It's not a challenge. It's death by tick tock. Those moderators of tiktok should really take those so called challenges down. Children are dying and the only thing that it makes are headlines.
Darwinism at it's finest
Why is took a bunch of Benadryl in quotes? Did he it didn't he?
Tik Tok has killed way more than Alex Jones
Well I guess section 230 is doing what's best. Protecting the massively profiting corporation enabling this death.
Did the president call his parents
Darwin's law of natural selection implies that a population in equilibrium with its environment under natural selection will have a phenotype which maximizes the fitness locally. Nothing of value was lost.
Darwin.
TikTok doing it’s thing! 🤷🏾♂️
Hoo boy! And after the Tennessee 3, here I was thinking the kids are alright…
It's time to ban AR-15s!
Stay of tik tok rip
This generation is lost! Rip
natural selection as far as I am concerned.
Banned tiktok!!!!!!!
I wonder who stayed Ohio is? Look at this terrible drug death.Jim_Jordan
If he kid is dead the money should be refunded pay for your own funeral
There you go CNN… helping out trying to make TikTok look bad for the ban.
way to go genius
They gotta start putting up 'don't try this at home' disclaimers on social media videos of people doing stupid things. There are unlimited videos out there of people doing stupid things.
Why would a 13 y/o be allowed on TikTok. Fucking parents. Poor child. Social Media can wait. No child needs to be on any social network.
Sounds better then the chicken and nyquil one. Can we stop blaming apps and forms of entertainment for simply bad parents raising stupid children.
no words....
My God!! we are raising obedient sheep not thinking human beings!! It's not funny! It's so sad....
Sure enough, a GoFundMe account has been set up by his family, stating, 'he took a bunch of Benadryl'. 🙄
Parents should always monitor their children’s social media - they’re way too young to make appropriate choices - restrict access or no access which is way better -
The hat man got him
