Why???
since youtube readily deletes videos and can scan for such titles, they are not a common carrier and do hold responsibility for the presence of such “challenges” trending on their site.
Sounds like a low IQ problem to me
Of all the things they ban on YouTube why didn’t the ban that?
Children will copy and this one did.
12 year-olds are going to do 12 year-old things - the difference these days is that social media gives them access to many more dumb ideas than me and my friends could come up with on our own back in the day.
While YouTube bans opposition to liberalism, it if full of “fire challenge” videos showing kids setting themselves on fire. Apparently exposing the flaws in socialist thinking is worse than that.
Stupid is supposed to hurt.

YouTube does not have time to ban self-harm videos, it’s busy shutting down conservative voices like Diamond and Silk.
Youtube should be liable for this.
Burning wounds are learning wounds.
Vaulting to the lead for 2018 Darwin Awards... Timiyah!!

As there were no conservative opinions in the video it was deemed appropriate for YouTube.
When I was a kid, we did flaming shots. We lit the booze in a shot glass, threw the flaming liquid into our mouths, closed our mouths extinguishing the flames, and swallowed. No one in my circles ever lit themselves on fire. Recently, I had occasion to observe the modern version of the ritual. They blew the flames out before they drank it! What the heck is that? Despite the girly move, they still managed to light the bar on fire and scream like girls. There were no girls present, but it was hard to tell. Is there no longer any way to exclude the low people?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes... Come on mom, it’s not the phone’s fault, or YouTube’s. Did you know what your 12 year-old was doing?
You did your part when you bought her an iPhone at 11 or 12.
Some lessons are learned the hard way, if at all.
Good grief! Fire challenge? Sounds more like an intelligence challenge.
