Authorities warn of new viral challenge putting teens in the hospital
A new viral challenge has hit social media and is causing some unsuspecting participants to get seriously injured as it gains popularity.
The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office is one of many organizations across the country warning parents of this new viral trend that has been causing broken bones in some of the participants and authorities are concerned that the injuries could get even more severe.
“Parents please be aware of the “The Skull Breaker Challenge” on Tik Tok! This “Challenge” involves three kids challenging the middle kid to jump as high as he or she can. When the middle kid is in the air – the other two kids kick the jumper’s feet out! This “Challenge” has already caused serious injuries to unsuspecting kids!”
Police have warned that criminal charges could be brought against participants in the challenge. This mother states that her son became unconscious.
The name “The Skull Breaker Challenge” is the first of many clues that an accident is just waiting to happen. One wrong hit to the head and this new fad will become a deadly one.
