12-Year-Old Boy Brain-Dead After ‘Blackout Challenge’
A 12-year-old boy is on life support after his parents say he may have tried a social media stunt known as the “Blackout Challenge.” Joshua Haileyesus was found unconscious in the bathroom of his family’s Colorado home by his brother. His father says Joshua appears to have tried to choke himself with a shoelace. He was taken to the hospital, but a week later doctors told his father that there is nothing more that medicine can do for his son. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more. #InsideEdition

This is one of the reasons parents don’t want their kids on social media. Kids often don’t realize what possible dangers exist when doing something they think is a trend.

The game has actually been around for years and is sometimes known as the "Passout Challenge", "The Game of Choking", "Speed Dreaming" or "The Fainting Game", but it's currently gaining traction on TikTok

They “believe” he was doing the blackout challenge. Perhaps he intended to take his life. Sounds like they don’t know exactly why he did that. The blackout challenge doesn’t usually involves shoe laces or ropes etc. Nevertheless these challenges aren’t new. Existed when I was a teen way back in the 80s before the internet was a thing.

Holding your breath is one thing because your body will always force you to breathe when you need to. But physically restricting yourself from breathing is a completely different level and is significantly more dangerous. Keeping him in my prayers.

Please learn to teach your kids common sense, interact with them, take them places before handing them their own personal electronic or all you'll be doing is throwing away your title as a parent.
There should be a person or AI behind the scenes approving or declining posts going onto their sites
For everyone blaming TikTok, just know that this challenge is more than a decade old and even had a Criminal Minds episode done on something similar. I hate to defend TikTok but it’s true.

I hear you, kids hold their breathe for all sorts of wacky reasons, but NOT WITH A SHOESTRING. This " blackout challenge," is the "holding your breathe game" and it's literally not suppose to be deadly, our body kicks in flight or fight and makes us breathe. This poor soul used a shoe string......this was not those games or challenges....

The Blackout Challenge basically dares participants to choke themselves until they lose consciousness. The game has actually been around for years and is sometimes known as the "Passout Challenge", "The Game of Choking", "Speed Dreaming" or "The Fainting Game", but it's currently gaining traction on TikTok

Being a mother myself to an amazing young man who's living out of the country ( we're originally from Ontario Canada and he's away at a university in South Carolina in the USA ) I just feel heartbroken for his parents and the rest of his family SO we'll be donating to honor his memory as well as the family. 💔😢❤
As a teen who spends a majority of my time on the internet, this "blackout challenge" isn't a thing anymore and to be honest never really was much of a thing (I know a few years back there were some stories on it, but I genuinely have never heard of it, seen a video of someone attempting it, or anything like that aside from news reports) They found this kid with a shoelace around his neck, he wasn't trying to "hold his breath". They need to consider a suicide attempt as a possible explanation. Not everything can be blamed on social media, "challenges" in general aren't that much of a thing anymore anyways.
Black out challenge is done with your hands or holding your breathe. This sounds like suicide.
I’m telling you this is natural selection taking its course.
