Social networks claim a new victim. An 11-year-old child was seriously injured on Wednesday, November 27, while trying to reproduce a TikTok video, franceinfo learned from a police source. The events took place early in the afternoon. The young boy was at the “Le Passage du Havre” shopping center, in the 9th arrondissement of the capital, when he fell from the edge of an escalator.
The teenager landed 4 meters below. He suffers from multiple fractures and his vital prognosis is in jeopardy. According to information from TF1 Info, he was in the company of several of his friends and his grandmother. The minor was transported to the Robert Debré hospital in Paris, in the 19th arrondissement, between life and death.
TikTok challenges singled out
This is not the first time that the social network TikTok has caused victims. The challenges and videos circulating there can sometimes incite dangerous actions. Last July, a thirty-year-old woman was fined 4,000 euros “for unintentional injury and deliberate violation of a safety obligation” after making the “keke challenge” with her cousin, recalls La Dépêche.
The latter had to dance while walking next to the car, which was traveling at slow speed. While trying to climb onto the hood of the vehicle, she fell and was plunged into a coma following serious head trauma. She now has hearing and balance problems.
