ANGUISH Mum Ellen Roome with son Jools

She believes Jools Sweeney, 14, died during an online challenge gone wrong, and is part of a group suing TikTok for wrongful death.

But the US-based firm says it cannot release data belonging to Jools or the other children under UK law.

Isaac Kenevan, 13, Archie Battersbee, 12, Maia Walsh, 13, and Noah Gibson, 11, all died while attempting the “blackout challenge” on TikTok.
