The challenges on TikTok are reaching unimaginable limits, and parents and experts are increasingly concerned about the effects these can have on children. A few days ago we talked about how a boy of just nine years old almost died after swallowing several magnets as part of a challenge on the social network. Now, three students from a Florida school have been arrested after destroying the facilities of the center for the challenge “Devious Lick” of TikTok .
This is a totally absurd challenge but one that has become very fashionable in the United States. It simply consists of sneaking into educational centers to destroy furniture and steal . Several cases have already been registered in the country, and all the criminals have been arrested after posting the video on TikTok committing their misdeeds.
At the Florida school, as can be seen in the video that the students themselves have shared on TikTok, they broke tables and chairs, ripped out toilets, broke doors, and even dared to drive the school bus .

As the authorities explain to the local media, the challenge consists of stealing some school supplies and recording themselves while destroying everything in their path to get thousands of “likes” . Although it sounds totally absurd, it seems that the youth see something of appeal in this.
In recent weeks there have been many cases. In Georgia, two Evans Middle School students have also been arrested for acts of vandalism . They recorded themselves ripping off a bath gel dispenser and clogging the toilet with it.
The “Devious Lick” has become popular in the United States, so authorities have already alerted parents and teachers, and some schools have increased security .
Nobody finishes understanding why, but practically every day more and more dangerous challenges arise in social networks. One of the most popular ones in recent weeks is filing your front teeth so that they are completely aligned . As dentists explain, it is very dangerous because it could cause the enamel to fall or create fissures in the teeth.
