An 83 year old british gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. As he was fumbling in his bag for his passport a stern French lady asked if he had been to France before. He liked he had indeed been previously.
The lady said then you should know to have your passport out and waiting sir. The gentleman said i didn’t have to show it last time. Impossible! The woman said, you British have always had to show your passports to get through here! The man passports to get through here! The man responded by whispering, well, when i came ashore on the beach on D Day in 1944, i couldn’t find any Frenchmen to show it to!… Wear your poppy with pride.
The Deadly Online Trend That Claimed an Innocent Life
Youngsters frequently lack awareness of the dangerous outcomes that can result from heedlessly adopting trends they come across online. Sadly, Tommie-Lee Billington, an innocent 11-year-old kid, lost his life as a result of this ignorance. His bereaved family is now alerting people to the risks that can be found on social media.
Tommie met a risky challenge on TikTok at a stay at a friend’s house, which led to the tragic event. To reach a high in this specific task, you had to inhale hazardous gasses or solvents. Tommie’s heart stopped abruptly, which was shocking and led to his untimely death.
This tragic loss is not an uncommon occurrence. In addition, two teenage girls perished while taking part in the same risky TikTok “challenge.” To safeguard our kids, we must raise awareness of this potentially fatal tendency and take appropriate action.
Sherry, Tommie’s mother, has resorted to social media to encourage parents to talk openly with their kids and stop them from acting riskily on TikTok. She shares on Facebook, “This cost my son his life from trying something other kids are doing,” in an emotional post. Please discuss the repercussions of this with your kids. I don’t see why someone would even attempt this! It’s really risky!
Sherry goes on to convey her pain and her determination to honor her son’s legacy by spreading awareness and preventing other kids from suffering the same terrible destiny. Let’s band together to help Tommie’s family through this awful period of loss and make sure that no other youngster is harmed by this dangerous trend.
Peace be with you, Tommie. We are so sorry for your family. Let’s now work together to promote this very essential message to ensure that no child dies needlessly.
