It is well-established that YFs trust their AFs more so even than they do their own parents. YFs know they can talk about anything to their AFs. So a boy would probably have checked with his AF before doing anything so stupid. Actually, their are some strange things about this story. The mother claims that her son took "The Blackout Challenge" which is on TikTok. The Blackout Challenge on TikTok is where users are encouraged to hold their breath until they pass out due to a lack of oxygen. It can also be referred to as the "choking challenge" or the "pass-out challenge". You can't kill yourself by holding your breath. In fact, it is almost impossible to make yourself pass out that way. (Typing with one finger on my mobile phone makes it to difficult to go into more detail...) I suspect the poor kid may have wanted to kill himself, so he hung himself. And his parents are trying to pin it on that TikTok challenge. (Omitting reasons why...) I think that if the boy's martial arts trainer had been a BoyLover, (VirPed or not) the boy would probably be alive today. AFs have saved the lives of many boys, by listening to the boys and giving them good advice. But try to convince the "antis" of THAT! M. |
