What began as a normal day quickly spiraled into a terrifying ordeal for one teenage girl and her family. According to reports, the girl—whose identity has been withheld for privacy reasons—decided to take part in a new social media challenge that had been circulating widely on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
The challenge seemed harmless at first glance: upbeat music, smiling participants, and millions of views. Like countless other young users, she was curious. It looked easy. It looked fun. It looked safe.
