'Door-kicking' TikTok trend mistaken for home invasions

Police are alerting schools, parents and community members of a potentially-dangerous challenge seen on TikTok which encourages others to kick in the doors of homes.

In videos shared on TikTok, young people kick doors to the beat of the song "Die Young" by musical artist Kesha before running off. Some use enough force where doors are kicked open entirely.

Jennifer Pritchard of the Petaluma Police Department in Petaluma, Cali., said danger is heightened when people are unfamiliar with TikTok trends and could interpret the prank as a "a real life or death situation."

Pritchard said those participating in the door-kicking challenge "don't know which door" they're about to kick.

This is not mistaken for a home invasion,

it IS a home invasion.

Rename that one “Say Hello to Mr. Buckshot” and you might have a trend...

Lol, I thought the exact same thing when I read the title.

“This is more dangerous than Tide Pods”.

At my house it certainly would be regarded as such.

“Unfamiliar with TikTok trends”?

Are we supposed to accept anarchy in the name of “trends?”

It is a home invasion and will be dealt with as such, at my home.

We had a situation here in town about a decade ago where some college kids thought it would be fun to “kidnap” a girl from a local cafe. Well, an armed citizen stopped the kidnapping, but not without damaging some of the perpetrators.

Imagine if the communist Chinese created a popular app and encouraged Americans to kill themselves.

Didn't Tik-Tok videos also contribute to the trends of - eating tide pods - running alongside your car while driving it - jumping up in the air and having people trip you on the way down - holding on to the hood of a car while it spins out - crazy-gluing body parts to other objects YES, people are that stupid

Pit bulls love those people. Be sure to put it into your short video and post it... unless the dog eats your camera.

Why, it’s almost as if things trending on TikTok are preparing (or desensitizing) the population about certain things.
