TikTok is full of entertaining cat videos, humorous dances, and yes, even challenges -- the famed ice-bucket challenge has returned and is promoting mental-health support. But now a dangerous TikTok challenge is spreading through the short-form video app and through schools across the US.
An investigation revealed two students, a 16-year-old male and a 17-year-old male, allegedly stuck objects into the laptop causing it to catch on fire.
The 'Chromebook Challenge' calls on kids to 'ignite' their Google laptops by jamming objects into the USB ports.
