Four families who say their children died after taking part in a viral trend in 2022 speak to the BBC about their legal fight against TikTok.
In an exclusive group interview for BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the parents said they were taking the company to court to try to find out the truth about what happened to their children and seek accountability.
