A popular TikTok trend, called the “devious licks” challenge, has led to the destruction of school property across the country. California school districts are now asking parents to help encourage students to report vandalization of school property.
The TikTok trend encourages students to steal and destroy items in school restrooms. Damages reportedly cost Central Valley schools thousands of dollars in repairs. The Coalinga-Huron Unified School District (CHUSD) in Fresno, California, had to replace 41 soap dispensers in three days, with students even spraying red dye across the bathrooms.
