Trends and challenges on social media are not new. Some of them were stupid, like planking. Others were potentially dangerous, the Tide Pod Challenge for example. The TikTok trend planned for April 24, 2021, is no joke. It’s disgusting, and you need to shield your children from it.

Users of the popular video app Tik Tok are saying a group of men has declared April 24, 2021, a national day for carrying out sexual assault and rape.

Some are shrugging this off as a joke, sexual assault and rape is not a joke

I don’t agree with everything that TikTok user said, but the social media space can be a scary place. I would like to think that no right-minded person would ever participate in such a deplorable day of celebration, but how can we be sure?

Other warnings have been posted on other platforms like Twitter.
