Popular TikTok Influencer Gets Burned In TikTok Challenge
A teenage girl and popular TikTok influencer has reportedly got her body burned in a ‘Fire TikTok challenge’.
According to reports, the 15-year-old girl from Texas, USA, was participating in the so-called “fire challenge” on TikTok, which involves pouring a flammable liquid on oneself and then setting it alight.
However, things quickly went awry, and the girl was unable to extinguish the flames, resulting in severe burns to her face, chest, and legs.
Emergency services were called to the scene, and the girl was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
She remains in critical condition, and doctors say she may require multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation.
The incident has sparked outrage and concern among parents and safety experts, who have called for stricter regulation of dangerous challenges on social media platforms like TikTok.
Many have also urged young people to think twice before participating in such challenges, as they can have life-altering consequences.
In response to the incident, TikTok issued a statement condemning the “fire challenge” and emphasizing their commitment to promoting safety on their platform.
The company said they would continue to work with safety experts and invest in technologies to detect and remove harmful content.
