There is another alarming TikTok trend called the 'Orbeez Challenge,' in which teens are shooting water beads at people with a gel-ball or an airsoft gun.
A massive fire raging at a PepsiCo factory in Piscataway, New Jersey Tuesday night injured two firefighters. Josh Einiger has the breaking details.
Chief Michael Pontillo and the other members of the Westwood Police Department are sharing this as a reminder to parents to watch their children's social media activity as a safety concern. TikTok announced in February that it was revamping its policies to prevent harmful challenges from going viral. "As part of our ongoing work to help our community understand online challenges and stay safe while having fun, we've worked with experts to launch new videos from creators that call on our community to follow four helpful steps when assessing content online - stop, think, decide and act," the company said in a press release.
