The mother of tragic Archie Battersbee has accused social media giants of failing to tackle deadly online challenges like the one that killed her son.
Hollie Dance, 46, believes there have been at least 82 deaths linked to the “blackout challenge”, in which people choke themselves until they pass out, with many more left brain damaged since it first began 14 years ago.
Archie, 12, spent more than four months in a coma after he was found with a ligature around his neck, and died on August 6 when medics withdrew life support.
