Archie Battersbee's mum speaks out against online trends that put son in coma

Hollie Dance, Archie Battersbee's mother, has accused social media giants of failing to tackle deadly online challenges like the one that left her son in a coma. The 46-year-old said she believes there have been other deaths linked it, with many more left brain damaged.

He died on August 6 when medics withdrew life support.
