What are the Consequences of TikTok Egg-Smashing Trend on Kids?
In the News
You would think it was just idiotic teens that are following these ridiculous TikTok trends , but you would be wrong
You now have parents following and performing the latest one , cracking eggs on their chidrens heads !!!
When will all this nonsense end , with the child traumatised or in this case possibly contracting salmonella ?
I have said this before and i will again, TikTok needs banning before someone is hurt or becomes ill

Well first of all let me say I don't agree with it. However, in the scheme of things I doubt any child will go through significant trauma compared to millions of children the world over suffering pain, hunger, war and bereavement etc.
My worry is the mentality of grown adults who feel the need to copy trends on social media and seemingly act like kids themselves, all for a few insincere comments and likes. I must be weird as throughout my life I have always refused to be led or follow sick and stupid fads. About time these people grew up and took their parenting responsibilities seriously.
Lynibis I only kept tiktok for about a week got bored. I have no idea why people try any of these stupid things
There are always these trends and whilst they aren’t great this is one of the less harmful ones.
It's gone to far and your teaching kids it's OK to smack someone in the face, film it and share with the world. It's not big clever or funny
Jerseydrew I agree J, it may not seem harmful but there was a craze recently encouraging people to do this as you mentioned, and slap the wrong person and see what could happen
Nothing quite like a good egg shampoo lol,seriously though this is not the way forward at all.
TikTok somehow manages people to make people dumber and more dangerous. And share stuff that used to be behind closed doors.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Meanwhile, TikTok in China known as Douyin is instead a wholesome and educational platform.
I don't use TikTok, but obviously know how bad it is and if it were banned in every entire Western country I'd not be against it. However, I guess something just as toxic would replace it (remember MySpace? FaceBook).
On a sidenote, I've been watching Douyin via the app and their videos really are a lot nicer and sanitized. None of the nonsense and craziness allowed in the Western version.
I downloaded the Android app from here: www.apkpure.com/douyin/com.ss.android.ugc.aweme
RegularComper90 ...Totally agree with you on that, NEVER interested me or my little family who don't do FB & are more interested in learning about the world we live in!
We DON'T & NEVER have followed the crowd!
It's bad enough the kids doing stupid stuff on tiktok to follow trends but parents they should know better some of the trends are dangerous I was down the park the other kids and 2 little boys about 6 or 7 were making videos for tiktok with loads of grass why are parents letting kids on tiktok as you see a lot of bad things on it I wouldn't want my grandkids seeing I don't know if it has a age restriction and they don't see everything
