Double dog dare ya!
Mom of NYC boy, 15, killed while subway surfing atop train car sues city’s transport network, TikTok and Meta claiming her phone ‘addict’ son was ‘affirmatively directed’ to deadly stunt by social media
DAILYMAIL.COM | 21 February 2024 | Ishita SrivastavaThe mother of the 15-year-old New York boy who died while subway surfing last year has now launched a lawsuit against the city’s subway network, TikTok and Meta.
Norma Nazario’s son Zackery Nazario died while subway surfing on a Brooklyn-bound J train over the Williamsburg Bridge on February 20, 2023.
A low beam struck the teenager in the head, causing him to fall between the subway cars and before he could get away, a train ran over him.
A year after his death, Norma has filed a lawsuit against the MTA and the social media platforms, claiming that the apps ‘goaded’ her child into the deadly stunt by recommending similar videos.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from TikTok, Meta and the MTA.
Sounds to me that whoever had to clean up what was left of him at the scene has a much better case against the mother.
FAFO.
