TikTok sued by parents of UK teens after alleged challenge deaths

The complaint was filed in the Supervisory Court of the state of Delaware by Archie’s mother Holly Dance, Ishaq’s mother Lisa Canon, Julis’s mother Alan Rome and Maya’s father Liam Walsh.

It claims that the deaths were “the expected result of the” Betdown’s engineer addictive design and programming decisions “, which aimed to” force children to maximize their engagement with Tukk in some way “.

And it has been accused of “harmful dependence in every child” through its design and “they flooded in connection with the seemingly endless damage”.

He claims that “they wanted to search for children or see when their tricky use started.”

The family’s case has come to the fore when there are question marks on the future of Techtok in the United States.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January to extend the deadline for banning the app in the country unless it was sold to another firm.

In January 2024, a coroner concluded that Holi Dance’s son Archie died at the age of 12 when his “joke or experience” went wrong in his home in Southand On C in April 2022.

Ms. Dance, with 13 -year -old Ishaq’s mother, Lisa Kenyan, is trying to raise awareness about potentially dangerous social media trends after her children’s deaths.

Allen Rome, who believes his 14 -year -old son Julis died after participating in an online challenge, has tried to get data from T -Tawk, which can provide explanation around his death.

She has been campaigning for “Julus” law, which will allow her children’s social media accounts to die when parents die.

He told the BBC in January, “This is my goal to try and not only to me but also to the families who have already moved the children and family, their jols, something from the waste of jools. Make positive. “
