A dangerous TikTok trend, called the Orbeez Challenge, has resulted in multiple individuals being arrested across the country. This dangerous challenge encourages shooting unsuspecting strangers with Orbeez water beads, usually from a vehicle. These beads can be fired from various air soft style weapons, some which resemble real firearms. These water beads can cause serious injuries and damage to property.
We ask parents to speak to their children about these and other dangerous social media challenges, which may result in injury to themselves, others and criminal consequences.
Thank you.
