The mother of a 13-year-old New Jersey boy says her son was hospitalized after partaking in the TikTok "Benadryl challenge," which encourages users to overdose on tablets.
The mother of the hospitalized New Jersey boy told WNBC that her son "was curled in a fetal position on the floor, eyes dilated, like staring into space, couldn’t move, couldn’t walk" after participating in the challenge.
