Ohio Teen Dies from Benadryl Overdose After Attempting TikTok Challenge

A 13-year-old Ohio boy has died from an overdose on the allergy medication Benadryl after attempting a deadly challenge popularized on the Chinese social media app TikTok.

The teen was then taken to a local hospital, where doctors told Justin that his son would never wake up again. Now, Jacob’s family is urging other parents to pay attention to what their children are doing on the phone, and to tell them about what happened to their son. The boy’s family are also trying to get lawmakers to put an age restriction on purchasing medicine like Benadryl. Justin told ABC 6 that he has contacted Ohio Governor Mike DeWine .The 13-year-old’s death is the latest TikTok-related fatality, as the Chinese-owned app has proven to be dangerous for kids and young adults.

Sue the Chinese communist party ccp

People are being hypnotized by TikTok. I know some people who actually talk like a TikTok video. It is weird.

Blame the person who posted the challenge and arrest them. There is a reporting page to have the video taken down. Of course it's to late now. We have to talk to our children about peer pressure and social media.

Aww so sad 😢 prayers to his family , the lord is with him now . ❤️

This shlt has to stop

Communist China killing more US kids!

Tik Tok needs to be banned. Democrats will not do it because it is there way of campaigning. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. It is heartbreaking.

I think we should ban all Benadryl so it will stop killing

If we could just get every pedophile to do this….

Blood on Joe Biden hands

This was way more fun to do when I was 13 year old...

Did he win?

It's interesting that th Chinese youth are restricted on their version of tik tok educational things and have time restrictions for usage. Western countries don't and why these stupid and senseless things happen.

Blaming TikTok for this, is like blaming guns for mass shootings. It’s not the objects fault. It’s the humans.

But just think of all the good Chinese controlled social media allowed in the West does for our civilization

TikTok killing American kids, teaching Chinese kidss skills

Oh no! We need a restrict act!

These kids are losing it more and more everyday. Parents are failing.

So sad.

Sounds like a parenting problem not a TikTok problem. Stop letting the internet raise your kids. 🤡🌎

When will we see the leftist liberals call for TikTok control? Background checks, ID, 10 day waiting period, red flag 🚩 If we can only save just 1 kid it will be worth it. TikTok control Now! Let’s see if their shock troops will riot over this kid?

The CCP is purposefully taking American lives.

RIP

darwinism

It's tragic but maybe just hear me out, maybe the parents should of had a talk with their kid about the dangers of doing these challenges and the other dangers on social media before allowing them to use social media. This happens on FB too and other social media not just tictok.

this is a horrible tragedy. my heart goes out to his family. but please do not let MSM use this saddest of events to push the RESTRICT act. it's the Patriot Act on steroids and doesn't even mention TikTok.

Prime example that many things can cause death. So sad that this happened to a young man who hadn’t really started his adult life.

Tragedy

😞😢

So sad. Praying for his family

War on drugs has failed

Where were his parents to let him be on tictock

First it was Tide Pods now its Benadryl. .... Parents need to block this app feom their kids phones... Also parents aren't doing their jobs if their kids think these kinds of things won't kill them.... China wins again

It is costing million of Dollars in Vandalism at our school weekly, it is all tied to TikTok. How many deaths have been prompted on this Cesspool of humanity! It is an attack on our young by an enemy and you sleaze-bags see nothing wrong with your children being devoured…

Just awful

Sad

This is why TikTok needs to be banned in the United States!

Get your kids off TikTok.

RIP God bless your soul. .

Ban TikTok.....

Yeah, don't do that.

hey news, you have more adds thans news in your web

Get your kids off the internet.

Money made from companies is more valuable then lives. Deep pockets keep things afloat.

Oh well!

Getting tired of these challenges taking kids lives and the people running the app haven't done shit to stop the spread of these dangerous challenges.

protectyourkids hprror alwayschina killing

Where’s the Democrats now

Ban TikTok, quickly.
