Twelve-year-old Tristan Casson simply wanted to be like the other kids online. What looked like a harmless trend — just another “challenge” — turned into a devastating tragedy.
Tristan lost his life after attempting the dangerous “Blackout Challenge,” a viral internet trend that has already claimed the lives of children around the world. He wasn’t trying to hurt himself; he was just trying to join in, unaware of the danger. But this time… he didn’t wake up.
His mother recalls the haunting moment when Tristan’s brothers screamed for help — and the unbearable quiet that followed. Through unimaginable grief, she’s using her voice to protect others, urging parents and guardians everywhere to stay alert.
️ “Please, know what your kids are watching. Talk to them before the internet does.”
Tristan’s story is a painful reminder of how powerful — and dangerous — social media influence can be. A single conversation could save another young life.
Let’s honor Tristan by spreading awareness and protecting the children who trust us most. ❤️
