In hopes of preventing it from reaching the Arab region, a catastrophic challenge has invaded the TikTok platform, spreading among school students, particularly in France. This challenge, which involves head slapping and "neck cranking" without warning, has infiltrated classrooms, prompting the educational sector to take action, especially since it can be fatal in some instances.

**A Dangerous Trend**

The challenge, spreading in schools in France, especially in the city of Bordeaux in the southwestern part of the country, is considered dangerous as it can impact the spine and neck, according to local media. One school raised the alarm after a mother reported her son suffered an injury due to this "dangerous trend."

Educational authorities have sent memos to school principals aimed at providing clear guidance and raising awareness among faculty members about this phenomenon. Meanwhile, videos related to the challenge have garnered hundreds of thousands of views, spreading widely across various regions in France.
