Weekly ‘Thursday’ Blurb
I wanted parents to know about a dangerous social media challenge circulating. While we haven’t heard anything from Odyssey students or families, it seems to be wide spread which is why I wanted our families to be aware so you can be proactive.
There is a social media challenge circulating called ‘The Penny Challenge’. It is encouraging people to record and post a video on Tik Tok of themselves partially plugging in a cell phone charger and then sliding a penny between the charger and the wall. This will result in sparks which may start a fire, damage the outlet, and/or injure the person. While Tik Tok is meant for children 13 and older, it also does not verify the user’s age.
I hope this information is helpful as you monitor you child’s internet or social media use, so all of our children and families remain safe.
