The new dangerous game between adults
20 February 2020

Even in my parents' chat has generated sudden alarm and anxiety news of an alleged spread among children around the world of a dangerous joke (a trip, in essence), shared by a worried mother who read about it on the site of a large daily. It’s a thing that has precedent, as many will remember. And risks that we can imagine if we underestimate, but so far no more than a thousand other dangerous nonsense that teenagers do every day: the main risk remains the one described by one of the few sites that have tackled the issue with seriousness and conscience, without limiting to excited copy from the first terrorist tabloid.

The dangerous phenomenon is gaining notoriety on TikTok, but its true viral spread comes from worried parents and schools trying to warn children and young people.

And I would add editorials. Concerned, of course.
