DANGEROUS TIKTOK CHALLENGE GETS AUTHORITIES INVOLVED ACROSS THE U.S!
Recently, there was an incident that came about on social media that had parents and authorities on edge. Apparently there has been a viral trend on the app TikTok, encouraging students to participate in school shootings across the U.S. Although there were no specific schools targeted, parents, police and school faculties were doing all they could to prevent any dangers in case students decided to go through with the planned challenge. The date for this challenge was set for December 17th, but luckily there were no students injured during this sick social media game. However, it was stated that there was a close call with a young 16 year old male from Florida. While Authorities were checking the school, lockers, book bags etc., they came across a student at South Florida Highschool with a small suspicious bag that evidently contained a loaded firearm on campus. The Situation was immediately handled and the 16 year old male was arrested on school grounds.
