Girl, 7 years old, in coma with terrible burns after Tiktok Challenge

A 7-year-old Misuri girl, named Scarlett Selby, was left in a coma after a clumsy toy exploded while she was trying a viral Tiktok challenge.

“It all happened so quickly,” the father of the victim Josh Selby, 44, told Kennedy News as he confessed to the terrible test. “I heard her roar and it was like a roar that brought out blood.”

Tot, who resides in Festus, was coping a challenge she saw in tiktok and YouTube where people put Needoh – a stress -made stress made of polyvinyl alcohol – in the refrigerator and then microwave it for a few seconds to make it more malleable.

“She would raise the necessary cube the night before and the next day she told me she was strong and was playing with her,” Josh recalled. “She gripped her into the microwave. I was looking at her and saw her touching her to check that it wasn’t too hot when she pulled it out. “

This harmless experiment went bad after gelatinous toys exploded, showering scarlett’s face and chest with melted goo.

Josh reportedly heard his daughter screaming in agony, after which he ran up and tried to break goo burning out of her body and clothes, but it was difficult given how “thick and contagious” was the substance similar to Napalm.

“Whenever I touched her, my hand was gripped,” “mourned the anxious father, who said” torn her shirt “because the jelly had respected them as well.

Her father and mum, Amanda Blankispip, 35, took their 30 -minute daughter to the St. Louis Children’s Hospital in St Louis. She was reported to be in so much agony that she “still shouted in pain” even after she arrived, according to Amanda.

“It was terrible how scared she was and how much she hurt her,” her mother “heartbroken” mourned.

Upon arriving at the facility, doctors placed Scarlett in a state of induced coma – where she remained for three days – because they were worried that the burns in her mouth would cause her airways to swell and close.

Her lips were burned so badly that she was placed in a nourishing tube for the duration of her stay in the hospital length.

“I don’t think I can talk to anyone without crying all the time,” Josh said.

Doctors decided not to give Scarlett a grafting of the skin during her time in the hospital, but her mother is worried that she may definitely need one because “her toothache is so bad”.

“After consulting with the doctors, we will give her a few years, maybe until she is about 12 years old, to see how her body grows up and depending on if the scar stretches and grows with her,” said her mother, who works as a hairdresser. “We’re still placing silicone creams and ointments every day – they are such deep wounds that stick from her skin.”

And the wounds are more than just physical, for Amanda, who said she will catch her daughter crying as she looks at her mirror behind her bathroom.

“She becomes very aware and I will see her trying to cover her scar with her shirt when we’re out in public sometimes, or she will return home from school and mean another child asked her,” the haircut said. “I tell her she doesn’t need to be ashamed of it. She passed a lot and it was a terrible, terrible accident.”

Despite the terrible teeth, Amanda said “she is still beautiful and those wounds do what she is.”

Father Josh is warning other parents to throw their products of need in the light of the terrible incident, which he described as “the hardest thing he has ever passed.

“I have told absolutely everyone to throw them out if they have them,” Missouran warned. “The product that is in it is like glue, so you basically have hot glue bursting over you. Once it touches, there is no way to remove it.

He added, “It should not be sold as it is and ultimately should not be traded as it is.”

Schylling Toys toy manufacturer has not yet responded to comment, but they have a warning on their website they read, “Do not draw, freeze or microwave, can cause personal injury.”

Meanwhile, Tiktok warns on his site that they “do not allow or promote dangerous activities and challenges or violence.

“This may include courage, games, tricks, inappropriate use of dangerous tools, eat substances that are harmful to one’s health, or similar activities that can lead to considerable physical harm,” they write.

However, this has not prevented people from trying dangerous stunts suspected of spreading through the platform.

In April 2024, 12-year-old boy Arizona Corey Roper suffered burns throughout his body when he tried to light the rubbed alcohol during a badly bad “challenge”.
