Maybe it’s not such a good idea to get your marching orders from Tik tok? 🤪

Our friends just lost their 16YO son doing this.

Think of it as evolution in action.

[Chode]

cause simply hyperventilating and holding yer breath is sooo old school...

Maybe you should keep your kids off social media?

Can anyone name five positives that come from letting your kids have any of these accounts?

Dear TikTok, stick to obnoxious music and idiotic dances.

Tictok is child abuse. Don’t let kids use Tictok

[Tell It Right]

Marching orders from Tik tok equal marching orders from the Chicoms.

Parents might want to do a better job of controlling their little darlings access to this crap. Or just tossing their phones/tablets away entirely. We survived just fine with only landlines. And not falling for the, ‘but everybody else is doing it!’.

Trump tried to get the damn thing banned. Democrats, who support communist china, wanted it to pollute the minds of our kids.

It should be banned if it won’t prevent kids from using it.

Kids did this in the ‘60s. No strangulation but equally stupid. I won't post the method openly. It's here if you're curious:

People are insane to let their kids use these phones without supervision.

That said, my parents told us never to accept dares, they always lead to trouble.

Dumb people do dumb things. The method they find out about dumb things changes over time, when I was a kid they got the ideas from the “I heard about a guy...” legend mill. But the dumb remains the same.

GET OFF TIKTOK. IT'S OWNED BY A HOSTILE TERRORIST REGIME.

[ConservaTexan]

The mother of the Pennsylvania 10-year-old, Nylah Anderson, is also suing the company, alleging that the app “pushed exceedingly and unacceptably dangerous challenges...”

...Yet she never took steps to keep her child safe from them.

Social media is an anxiety-driven influence for everyone.
“Can anyone name five positives that come from letting your kids have any of these accounts?”
Hmm. Keeps kids busy while 1. cooking dinner, 2. waiting outside Target for Mom, 3. attending church, 4. sitting in the doctor’s office, and 5. driving to grandma’s house. Just like tv.
