A mum has issued a desperate warning against taking part in online challenges after her young son has been left in an induced coma for eight weeks.
Archie Battersbee's family are worried that the schoolboy, aged 12, took part in the "blackout challenge" as they discovered him with a ligature over his head at their home.
Essex boy Archie has now spent eight weeks in an induced coma, and medics have said that it is "highly likely" that talented gymnast Archie is brain dead, Essex Live reports.
