SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — The City of South Fulton police is urging families to be aware of a growing TikTok trend.

It’s called the “door kick challenge.” Some TikTok users have posted videos of themselves kicking the doors of random homes and running away as a prank. But police say this trend is dangerous and isn’t a joke.

“Parents, please be aware of the various TikTok challengers your children may be participating in. Because when they’re going to the home of someone they do not know, that homeowner does have the right to protect their property,” Lt. Ebony Bullock said.
