Andrea and Paul Haynes, in a tearful conversation with Ally Langdon, shared the devastating decision they faced after their daughter Esra tragically fell victim to the deadly “chroming” trend. Chroming, the act of inhaling aerosol fumes to achieve a high, claimed the life of the 13-year-old, leaving her family and community in deep grief.
Esra was an accomplished young athlete, known for her passion and determination. At a sleepover, she inhaled deodorant fumes, a choice that resulted in cardiac arrest and catastrophic brain damage. Despite her parents’ hopes for recovery, the damage was too severe. Esra spent eight days on life support before her family had to make the heart-wrenching choice to let her go.
Paul described the experience as losing their “young soul” far too soon, a loss that continues to weigh heavily on the family. Andrea and Paul expressed their heartbreak over their daughter’s sudden death, a tragedy that rippled through their community.
Determined to make a difference, the Haynes family is speaking out to prevent similar losses. They are urging parents to educate their children about the dangers of chroming, emphasizing the life-threatening risks of such trends. Esra’s story is a stark reminder of the consequences of what may seem like an innocent or experimental act among peers.
This tragedy has galvanized the Haynes family to raise awareness about chroming and promote open discussions between parents and children. They hope that by sharing their experience, they can save others from facing the same devastating loss.
Esra’s legacy now lies in the effort to inform and protect others, ensuring that her life serves as a powerful message against dangerous trends.
