A national social media trend is making its way into the bathrooms of our local school districts. Superintendents are reporting damage from Washington County to Westmoreland County because of the TikTok bathroom and devious lick challenges.
“They break a soap dispenser, basically trash the bathroom, damage the mirror, things of that nature,” explained Trooper Steve Limani.
Limani said two girls who are students at Hempfield High School will be arrested after the damage was caught on social media.
“It’s ridiculous. I mean they need to get control of themselves. It costs money for them to do that, and why? Why would you do that,” said JoAnn Kasbaruk.
Down the road, the Charleroi High School is having the same problems. An entire sink was pulled off the wall.
“You are talking about criminal mischief but it’s really institutional vandalism and it’s even more severe,” Limani said.
He said depending on the damage, students could be charged as adults and face felony level charges.
