Girl, 7, in a coma with terrible burns according to the Tikok challenge

A 7-year-old Missouri girl named Scarlett Selby was left in a coma after a mushy toy exploded when she tried a viral tictok challenge.

“Everything happened so quickly,” said the victim's 44 -year -old father, Josh Selby, to Kennedy News when he told the terrible ordeal. “I heard her scream and it was like a bloody cry.”

The dead, which lives in Festus, copied a challenge that they saw on Tikk and YouTube, where the people Needoh – a mushy rubber stress cubes with a polyvinyl alcohol filling – put in the freezer and then microwave microwave for a few seconds.

“She had frozen the Needoh Cube the night before and the next day she showed me that it was rocky and played with it,” recalled Josh. “She put it in the microwave. I watched her and saw her touching it to check if it wasn't too hot when she pulled it out. “

This harmless experiment was crooked after the gallery -like toy exploded and scaret's face and breast showered with melted goosebumps.

According to reports, Josh heard his daughter in pain, then he ran over and tried to scratch the burning goosebumps from her body and her clothes, but this was difficult because the Napalm-like substance was “thick and sticky”.

“Whenever I touched her, my hand held on her,” complained about the disturbed father who said that he “torn her shirt from her” because the jelly had also captured it.

Her father and mother Amanda Blankenship, 35, drove for 30 minutes in St. Louis in St. Louis with her endangered daughter to the St. Louis Children's Hospital. According to Amanda, she was so much agony that she was “still screaming with pain”, even after her arrival.

“It was terrible how frightened she was and how much she injured,” complained her mother “with a broken heart”.

When arriving at the facility, the doctors Scarlett placed in an induced coma – in which she stayed for three days – because they were concerned that the burns on her mouth would lead to their respiratory tract swelling and closing.

Her lips were burned so much that it was placed on a nutritional pipe for the duration of her one -week hospital stay.

“I don't think I could speak to someone without crying all the time,” said Josh.

The doctors, on the other hand, decided to give a skin graft during their time in the Scarlett hospital, but her mother is worried that she will need one at some point because her “scars is so bad”.

“After we have consulted with the doctors, we will give her a few years, maybe until she is about 12 years old to see how her body grows and depending on whether the scar stretches out and grows with her,” said her mother, who works as a hairdresser. “We still put creams and silicon albums on it every day – they are such profound scars that are stuck from their skin.”

And the scars are more than just physically, by Amanda, who said she would cry her daughter while looking at her bathroom in her mirror.

“She becomes very confident and I will see how she tries to cover her scar with her shirt when we are sometimes in public, or she will come home from school and say that another child asked her about it,” said the hair cutter. “I tell her that she doesn't have to be embarrassing. She went through a lot and it was a terrible, terrible accident. “

Despite the terrible scars, Amanda said: “She is still beautiful and these scars make them what it is.”

Father Josh warns other parents to throw their Needoh products with regard to the terrible incident, which he described as “the most difficult” that he ever gone through.

“I have absolutely said everyone should throw them out when they have them,” warned the Missouran. “The product that is located in it is like glue, so that they essentially explode hot adhesives. As soon as it touches you, there is no way to get out.

He added: “It shouldn't be sold as it is and it should definitely not be marketed as it is.”

The manufacturer of The Toy, the Schylel toy has not yet responded to a comment, but you have a warning on your website with the inscription: “Warmth, no freezing or microwaves can lead to people in people.”

In the meantime, Tiktok warns on his website that they do not allow “the exhibition or promotion of dangerous activities and challenges or violence.

“This can include daring, games, tricks, inappropriate use of dangerous tools, food food substances that are harmful to health, or similar activities that can lead to considerable physical damage,” they write.

However, this did not prevent people from trying to try dangerous stunts, which are said to increase through the platform.

In April 2024, 12-year-old Arizona Boy Corey Roper suffered burns throughout his body when he tried to illuminate alcohol during a “Tikok challenge” that went wrong.
