These cursed tests of courage on the Internet!

In Argentina, a twelve-year-old girl died in one of these insane actions. Local media report this. According to them, Milagros Soto died a senseless death by suffocation.

What had happened?

The teenager from Capitan Bermudez had a video call with school friends. Recklessly, Milagros tried the so-called Blackout Challenge. Kids choke each other until they lose consciousness and then post the videos on the Internet.

The friends called 911, and rescue workers raced to the family's home. Tragically, the rescuers found the twelve-year-old dead with a rope around her neck.

The girl's body was taken to a hospital, where an autopsy revealed that Milagros Soto died by hanging.

The family claims their child was incited to strangle herself during the video call. Now the district attorney's office is investigating. The Pablo Ricchieri School in the city of 30,000 people promised to help the bereaved families with the investigation. An obituary said Milagros had been a "great student," "good-humored and friendly."

The victim's aunt, Laura Luque, posted a picture of the minor on Facebook. She wrote: "I am making public what I am going through. She is a miracle, my little niece. She lost her life in a TikTok challenge."

Laura Luque wrote on the net: "My little niece lost her life in a TikTok challenge."

Luque said she shared the photo of Milagros to shake things up. "So that this doesn't happen to any child again. And also so that no family has to go through what we're going through."

Time and again, people die because of insane Internet challenges. Recently, a mother and three friends just 14 years old lost their lives in a horror crash. The teenagers had cracked a Kia and crashed the car.

TikTok has been criticized for handling user data and lack of protection for minors. The Chinese parent company has since admitted that the video portal spies on its users.
