## Summary

A mother has won a legal fight to have an inquest reopened into the death of her son, which she believes was linked to a so-called TikTok challenge. The case highlights ongoing concerns among parents and campaigners about the risks posed by viral online challenges circulating on social media platforms, and the adequacy of coroners' original findings in such cases.

The article text provided does not include further specific details, such as the son's name, age, location, or the nature of the original inquest ruling that is now being revisited. Coroners can reopen inquests when new evidence emerges or when the original inquiry is deemed to have been insufficient, a process that typically requires a High Court application.
