It seems that a new, dangerous challenge is circulating on the TikTok platform, for which young Albanians should be careful.
The warning comes from the Chairperson of the Audiovisual Media Authority, Armela Krasniqi, who issued a notice on her social networks for parents and teenagers. The challenge, from which, in Romania, dozens of teenagers have ended up in the hospital, with serious fractures, is called the “Superman Challenge” and consists of throwing one hand forward, just like the children’s character, Superman, to catch, or not, by friends.
Below is the warning from the AMA president:
BEWARE
PARENTS and ADOLESCENTS
Dozens of teenagers in Romania have suffered fractures and severe trauma after a trend on TikTok called the “Superman Challenge”. The challenge is to lunge forward with an outstretched arm, like the children’s character Superman, to be caught, or not, by friends.
From the dangerous “game” in one day, more than 20 teenagers ended up in the hospital with serious injuries.
PARENTS be careful! Explain to your children the danger behind such online trends!
CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS do not fall prey to such challenges. Aside from risking your health and often life, there is NOTHING fun about them.
