A mother has issued an urgent warning to parents after her 13-year-old daughter was left fighting for her life following a suspected drink and vape-related incident on Seaham beach.

The terrified parent said she received a phone call from a friend on Friday night telling her that her daughter was drunk on Seaham pebble beach near the marina.

Rushing to the scene, she said she arrived to find her daughter lying face down on the rocks and completely unresponsive.

Emergency services, including the coastguard and ambulance crews, rushed to the beach and began treating the teenager at the scene before carrying her to an ambulance, where attempts to revive her continued as she was blue-lighted to hospital.

The mother described the ordeal as “every parent’s worst nightmare.”

She said: “We got to hospital and she was still unresponsive. They tried bringing her round with a reversal drug through a drip, which is very rarely given.”

According to the mother, doctors later discovered the teenager had allegedly consumed vodka and inhaled vape liquid known as “Mazza,” which she claims is being sold to children as young as 11.

She said toxicology tests showed traces of fentanyl — often referred to as the “zombie drug” due to its devastating impact in the United States — as well as other dangerous substances, including antifreeze.

The girl was rushed to the Adult Integrated Critical Care Unit at Sunderland Royal Hospital, where staff reportedly considered placing her on life support after she remained unresponsive for 12 hours.

The mother said doctors eventually managed to get a reaction from the teenager before taking that step.

She is now calling for urgent action to tackle the spread of dangerous vape substances among young people.

“Something seriously needs to be done to get this Mazza off the streets,” she said.

“A child is going to die because of this stuff. I would never want any parent going through the nightmare I’ve just had. It’s the scariest thing I have ever been through.

“Please keep an eye on what your children are putting in their vapes.”

She also called for increased police patrols and stronger efforts to protect children from dangerous substances being sold locally.
