Destructive TikTok challenges are causing trouble in school districts across Greater Cincinnati.We first told you about them last week.Now, in Harrison, the Southwest Local School District said restrooms have been vandalized and students have been caught.A spokeswoman for Cincinnati Public Schools said the TikTok troubles haven't been raised to their attention at this point, but on social media, people have said it is happening within the schools as well.It is a bad trend in many districts, according to school leaders."Just a general disruption to the school setting as a result of the influence of the videos that they're viewing online," Lockland City Schools Superintendent Bob Longworth said.Schools report water fountains damaged, soap dispensers trashed and stuff stolen.In Boone County, eight students have been cited, and it is happening elsewhere, all for the sake of likes, comments, follows and shares."Basically young people all over our region and state and country are being influenced to make really poor choices, resulting in the destruction of property," Longworth said.Longworth said the "Devious Licks" TikTok challenge is an alarming trend.In Middletown, there are more police officers in the schools because of the viral vandalism."So many children right now are starting to get frustrated with this challenge in school, and they want their classmates to stop because they enjoy coming to school every day, focusing in the classroom and being able to learn," Middletown City Schools Superintendent Marlon Styles, Jr. said.The Southwest Local School District said Harrison High School restrooms have been vandalized; students have been caught in three different incidents and two more are under investigation.They warn that students could face charges and families could get repair bills.Mason City Schools Superintendent Jonathan Cooper said a small group is responsible in his district."We have great custodians and maintenance staff that, they work hard, and so to have to come back around and continue to fix those things can be a bit frustrating," he said.They all said it is time parents talk with their kids to buck this trend."It should be a challenge for all of us as parents to lean in and look at what's going on on social media with our kids," Cooper said.In Boone County, sheriff's officials said eight students face charges including theft and criminal mischief.Juvenile courts in Butler, Warren and Hamilton counties said no children have been charged in these kind of incidents at this time.TikTok has confirmed it has banned all content around this trend.

In Boone, Iowa, about 45 minutes north of Des Moine, Iowa, the police department is investigating several complaints from residents about a note opposing LGBTQ rights being left on residents' doors. Sister station KCCI first learned about the incident on Saturday when one homeowner reached out shortly after it happened. "For someone to post something like that in broad daylight really kind of rattled me," said Krystal. "We don't have a Pride Flag." What the homeowners do have is a rainbow-colored doormat.Police said people who made reports all had flags or doormats showing their support for LGBTQ rights. Police said they have identified the suspect and charges are being filed. "People want LGBTQ people to thrive here," said Courtney Reyes, the executive director of One Iowa. "It's just so harmful when those loud voices are really loud because it makes us feel unsafe."Reyes says One Iowa doesn't get reports from incidents like this one every week, but situations where discrimination is involved are a different story. According to Reyes, the only way to make change is by educating people. "So people can stand up against that hate with really incredible information because we know that's how we dispel myths and how we reduce fear," Reyes said.One Iowa trains and educates people across the state in an effort to ensure the spread of wrong information is stopped. They also provide resources to the LGBTQ community on where affirming health care providers, dentists, doctors, and so much more can be found. "You're worthy and valid of love and being able to show up as your best self," Reyes said.
