Lebanon High School Principal Dr. Kati O’Quinn has warned parents about a TikTok challenge that is encouraging students to vandalize and steal from the school.
The so-called “Devious Lick” challenge on the video social media app encourages kids to record themselves while they commit the crimes of stealing and destroying items from their schools such as soap dispensers and signs. It comes from the slang “lick,” which means to steal.
TikTok has now banned the challenge, not allowing any videos to be uploaded, but not before places like Lebanon High School went through weeks of trouble.
