Australian journalist Ally Langdon couldn\u2019t hide her heartbreak while speaking with a grieving mother and father who had to make the unimaginable decision to end the life of their 13-year-old daughter\u2014the same life they had so lovingly brought into the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Their daughter, Esra Haynes, tragically lost her life after falling victim to a dangerous viral trend known as chroming. As a mother herself, Langdon struggled to hold back tears while listening to their story.<\/p>\n

A Devastating Loss
\nAppearing on A Current Affair, Andrea and Paul Haynes shared the painful journey that led to their daughter\u2019s passing. Esra, just 13 years old, was a vibrant and talented athlete. She co-captained the Montrose Football Netball Club, raced BMX bikes with her brothers, and had even led her team to a national aerobics championship in Queensland.<\/p>\n

On March 31, she went to a friend\u2019s house for a sleepover\u2014what seemed like an ordinary night. However, in pursuit of a fleeting high, she inhaled aerosol deodorant, causing her to go into cardiac arrest and suffer irreversible brain damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a regular hangout with her friends,\u201d Andrea recalled in the interview.<\/p>\n

Paul added: \u201cWe always knew where she was and who she was with. Nothing seemed unusual\u2026 Then we got the phone call no parent ever wants to receive: \u2018Come and get your daughter.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

At first, Esra\u2019s friends thought she was having a panic attack, unaware that her body was shutting down due to cardiac arrest. When Andrea arrived, paramedics were desperately trying to revive her. That was the moment she first heard the term chroming\u2014a word she had never encountered before but one that would change her life forever.<\/p>\n

The Hardest Goodbye
\nEsra was rushed to the hospital, and her family clung to hope. Her heart and lungs were strong\u2014maybe, just maybe, she would recover.<\/p>\n

But after eight days on life support, doctors gave them the devastating news: Esra\u2019s brain was damaged beyond repair. They had to make the excruciating choice to let her go.<\/p>\n

Struggling to find the words, Paul and Andrea described the heartbreak of saying goodbye to their little girl.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by family and friends, they lay beside her in her hospital bed, holding and cuddling her until the very end.<\/p>\n

A Family in Mourning
\nEsra\u2019s death shattered her family. Paul describes them as completely \u201cbroken\u201d, with her siblings\u2014Imogen, Seth, and Charlie\u2014struggling to cope.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been the hardest, most traumatic time a parent could ever go through,\u201d Paul shared. \u201cWe can\u2019t sleep, we barely eat, we don\u2019t smile. We\u2019re not ourselves. And it\u2019s not just us\u2014it\u2019s affected our whole community.\u201d<\/p>\n
