When Esra Haynes died, she was just 13 years old, and the reason for her tragic death is bizarre.
This young girl who was referred to as âdetermined, fun, cheeky and talentedâ by the Montrose Football Netball Club that she co-captained, got caught in a viral craze called chrominghttps://comsoftvn.com/in-order-to-pickâŚa-tiny-stray-dog/, which involves inhaling toxic chemicals through the mouth or nose to get high.
Esra was an athlete and lead a healthy life, racing BMX bikes with her brothers, and leading her team to a national aerobicsâ championship in Queensland. But all that was taken away from her after a wrong decision she made on March 31 during a sleepover at a friendâs house.
As she wanted to be part of the viral trend, Esra inhaled a toxic amount of aerosol deodorant and went into cardiac arrest, sustaining irreparable brain damage.
Her parents were devastated. Appearing on A Current Affair with host Ally Langdon, they spoke of the heartbreak and the fatal consequences of inhaling toxic chemicals in an attempt to prevent something similar from happening to other naive young people.
âIt was just the regular routine of going to hang out with her mates,â her mom Andrea, told Langdon in the interview. Her father Paul added, âWe always knew where she was and we knew who she was with. It wasnât anything out of the ordinaryâŚTo get this phone call at that time of night, (it) was one of the calls no parent ever wants to have to receive, and we unfortunately got that call: âCome and get your daughter.ââ
Initially, her friends werenât aware how serious Esraâs condition was. They only thought she was having a panic attack, not aware that their friends was dying right in front of their eyes. âBut after inhaling deodorant, her body was actually starting to shut down, she was in cardiac arrest and no one at the sleepover used cardiac arrest,â Langdon explained.
When her mom arrived by Esraâs side, paramedics were trying to revive her and told Andrea that her daughter had been chroming, a word that the scared mother heard for the first time ever.
Esra was transferred to the hospital and was placed on life support, but just eight hours later, the parents were told that her brain was damaged beyond repair and that needed to make a decision to turn the life support off.
Knowing there was nothing that could be done, Andrea and Paul called relatives and family members to say their final goodbyes. âIt was a very, very difficult thing to do to such a young soul. She was put onto a bed so we could lay with her. We cuddled her until the end.â
Esraâs siblings, Imogen, Seth and Charlie are have been shattered ever since their sister is gone.
âIt was really devastating, devastating for everyone involved, all her friends as well,â Paul said. âItâs been the most difficult, traumatic time any parent could go through. We havenât been sleeping, weâve hardly been eating, we havenât been smilingâweâre not ourselvesâŚBut itâs not just affected us, itâs the community as well.â
Following Esraâs passing, Andrea and Paul are doing all in their power to put an end to the crazy viral craze that took their daughterâs life.
Speaking to 7 News, Paul said he wished he knew of chroming when Esra was still alive, so he could have warned her of the dangers: âIf we were educated and the word had been put out there, we would have had the discussion around our kitchen table for sure.
âWe need to ramp it up and let these kids find out the information first-hand, and not through friends, and not through social mediaâthen theyâre given the right advice off the bat.â
Esra isnât the first victim of chroming. Over the years, a number of young people lost their lives from the consequences of it as it can easily lead to seizures, heart attack, suffocation, sudden sniffing death, coma, and organ failure.
âWeâve got the pictures in our mind which will never be erased, you know, of what we were confronted with,â Paul told Langdon. âOur gut was ripped out.â
We are so very sorry for this familyâs loss and we wish no parent ever experiences such heartbreak.
