Warning: Dangerous “Door Kicking” Trend Circulating on TikTok

SHENANDOAH, TX -- A new and reckless trend is gaining traction on TikTok where teens and young adults are kicking down doors—often late at night—for the sake of viral content. While it may seem like a prank to some, this behavior is extremely dangerous and illegal. It can lead to property damage, serious injury, or even deadly consequences if homeowners mistake the act for a real break-in.

Parents, talk to your kids about the risks. Homeowners, stay alert and consider reinforcing your doors or installing security cameras. This is not a harmless challenge—it’s a crime. Spread awareness and help stop this trend before someone gets seriously hurt.
