Parent’s devastating decision – forced to pull the plug on teen daughter after sleepover horror

In a heart-wrenching interview with Ally Langdon, Andrea and Paul Haynes shared the unimaginable choice they faced after their daughter Esra fell victim to the “chroming” trend—inhaling aerosol fumes for a high, leading to her tragic death.

Esra was a vibrant athlete, known for her determination and talent. But after inhaling deodorant at a sleepover, she suffered cardiac arrest and irreversible brain damage. Despite hopes for recovery, her strong heart and lungs weren’t enough, and after eight days on life support, her parents had to say goodbye.

Amidst tears, they recounted the harrowing decision to end Esra’s life support, a moment Paul described as taking their “young soul” too soon. The family is now shattered, grappling with grief that extends to their community.

Paul and Andrea are determined to prevent similar tragedies by raising awareness about chroming, urging parents to educate their children on its dangers. The Haynes family’s loss serves as a sobering reminder of the trend’s lethal consequences, inspiring a call to action for parental vigilance and open conversations with kids.
