Comment on Parents sue TikTok over child deaths allegedly caused by ‘blackout challenge’

Archie Battersbee, isn’t that the child that hanged himself after an argument with his mother, allegedly part of a “tiktok challenge” even though there was no camera filming him, and he ended up tragically becoming brain dead yet his mum became irate and made up conspiracy theories to try and claim the hospital wanted to shut off his life support to harvest his organs or some conspiracy stuff? Even though he was unfortunately just a tragically electrified corpse at this point?
I feel like the mother is trying to do stuff like this to try and make herself feel better about potentially accidentally prompting her child to take his own life. I do have sympathy in that it’s unbearable, but her time and resources would be far better spent on suicide awareness.
