Of Lemmingen and Likes: In danger from social media trends!

Westerstede, Deutschland - The police warn of the dangerous so-called "challenges" and gossip sites, which can often lead to legal responsibility. In particular, trends on social media, such as spreading amok threats in schools or trying out risky things such as breathing games, are a serious threat. These actions are not only highly risky, but also punishable-and can result in horrendous consequences, including police operations and claims for damages.

A frightening number of young people is often not aware that they make themselves punishable with their brave and anonymous communities. Therefore, the police appeal to parents and educators to offer young people to offer their self -regulation and to introduce them to critical thinking in an increasingly digital world. It is crucial that young people learn to distinguish between reality and fake and not to blindly follow the trend like "lemmings".
