Blackout challenge: 12-year-old dies after attempting social media trend; what is the choking challenge?

Representative Image A 12-year-old boy from Castleford, England, has died while performing a dangerous social media trend known as the "blackout challenge." The incident has reignited global concern over harmful online content targeting children as reported by People. West Yorkshire Police confirmed that a boy died in Castleford, on Friday, media outlet Yorkshire Live reported Authorities responded to an emergency call at a residence in Manor Grove, Castleford, following reports of a child in distress. He was taken to hospital, where he was declared dead. An investigation has been launched under the supervision of the West Yorkshire Coroner, although police have confirmed that the incident is not being treated as suspicious. What is Blackout Challenge? According to Healthline The 'blackout challenge,' also known as the 'choking challenge,' is a dangerous online trend spreading on platforms like TikTok. It encourages participants to restrict their own breathing—usually by holding their breath or using objects—until they pass out. The act can lead to serious brain injury or even death. A GoFundMe campaign launched by a family friend Agnieszka Czerniejewska claims Sebastian lost his life after attempting the "blackout challenge," Czerniejewska also urged parents to closely monitor their children's online activities, writing- 'The online world can be as dangerous as the real one — sometimes even more so.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The fundraiser, which has raised over $5,700, also described Sebastian as a gifted and joyful child who taught himself guitar and keyboard, loved to draw, and was deeply loved by his family. This incident comes just months after British families filed a lawsuit in the US against TikTok, alleging the deaths of their children — aged 12 to 14 — were caused by the same challenge. According to The Guardian, the lawsuit accuses TikTok of using its algorithm to push dangerous content to vulnerable users to increase engagement and profit. TikTok, in its defence, has stated that content related to the blackout challenge has been blocked since 2020 and that the platform removes such material proactively. The platform says it directs users searching for harmful challenges to safety resources.

'Maintain balanced work-life schedule': Infosys sends message to staff even as Narayana Murthy advocates '70-hour work week'

Infosys has sent personalised emails to staff members, requesting them to maintain standard working hours. Even as Infosys founder NR Naryana Murthy calls for Indians to work 70 hours a week, the IT services giant has flagged employees working extended hours, stressing on the need for work-life balance. Infosys has started a campaign to caution staff about extended working hours during remote work periods, highlighting potential health concerns and emphasising the importance of maintaining work-life equilibrium. Infosys has sent personalised emails to staff members, requesting them to maintain standard working hours. "We must work for 9.15 hours a day for five days a week, and if we overshoot this while working remotely, it prompts a trigger," an employee was quoted as saying in an ET report. The email indicates that the employee's monthly average working hours exceeded the company's prescribed duration. Infosys Monitors Work From Home Hours The human resources department monitors remote working hours monthly. When excessive hours are detected, they send detailed notifications to the concerned staff member, including information about remote working days, total hours worked and daily average hours. This monitoring system was implemented following the introduction of hybrid working arrangements. The HR department now tracks the duration each employee spends on official duties whilst working remotely. The financial daily has reviewed several such employee communications. These messages emphasised that prioritising health and work-life balance would benefit both personal well-being and professional success in the long term. Infosys employs approximately 323,500 staff members. Their workplace attendance directive, implemented on November 20, 2023, stipulates that staff must be present in the office for a minimum of 10 days monthly. Also Read | Not just Apple iPhones!

"We understand that work demands and deadlines can sometimes lead to longer hours. However, it is important to maintain the balanced work-life schedule to enhance productivity and overall happiness." The correspondence further adds, "Take regular breaks during your workday; Let your manager know if you are feeling overwhelmed or need support with reviewing priorities. Speak to your manager about delegating tasks or redistributing some responsibilities as appropriate; Take time to recharge during off hours, minimising work-related interactions whenever possible." In recent years, discussions surrounding occupational stress and its impact on workers' wellbeing have sparked widespread conversations about maintaining equilibrium between professional and personal life. This discourse has gained attention both nationally and internationally, as increasing instances of workplace-related pressure have resulted in various health complications, with some cases unfortunately leading to fatalities.
