The parents of a teenage girl who died after following a chroming trend have issued a warning to others.

March 2023 tragedy occurred at a sleepover when Esra Haynes, 13, was in Melbourne, Australia.

The teen’s parents, Andrea and Paul, told A Current Affair: “It was just the regular routine of going to hang out with her mates.

“We always knew where she was and we knew who she was with. It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.”

On the night of the sleepover, Esra’s parent would phone to be told to come and collect their daughter.

The teen was placed on life support and rushed to hospital in an unresponsive state. That would be a week and a half fighting for her life.

Esra’s parents were initially optimistic she would recover, then devastatingly doctors announced her brain was ‘damaged beyond repair’.

When the 13-year-old died, the family would have to turn off his life support.

Paul told Ally Langdon on A Current Affair: ‘They are asking us to bring a family, friends to say goodbye to our 13-year-old daughter.’

“It was a very, very difficult thing to do to such a young soul.”

‘They cuddled her until the end,’ Esra’s parents and siblings said.

Chroming is now warning Esra’s family to others.

“It’s unquestionable that this will be our crusade,” Paul informs the Herald Sun. “No matter how much you lead a horse to water, anyone can drag them away. It’s not something she would have done on her own.”

Imogen tells 7News: “We definitely have a mission to raise awareness for kids and anyone that does it.

“We don’t want that to happen to anyone else. We don’t want another family to go through this, it’s absolutely horrible.”

Haynes’ brother, Seth, adds: “I just want to put awareness out there that it can happen very quickly, and we don’t want to lose any more amazing people.”

The cause of death, chroming – where people inhale toxic chemicals – has been confirmed for Haynes.

Solvent or chroming abuse is where a person becomes high by breathing in or inhaling a chemical such as glue or solvent, according to Care In Mind.

People of all ages participate in the trend, but the trend is most popular among young adults and teenagers.

The immediate effects of chroming are tiredness or drowsiness, vomiting, dizziness, confusion or giddiness, more relaxed or more on edge, loss of coordination, loss of inhibition, ringing in your ears, slurred speech, coughing or sneezing, glazed eyes, red or watery, runny or bleeding nose.
