'Door-kicking' challenge by 'masked strangers' causes terror for homeowners.
A group of teens in Florida has been accused of participating in TikTok's "door-kicking" challenge, in which they kick front doors in the middle of the night while wearing masks. The dangerous prank has prompted multiple police calls from homeowners who think it's a home invasion. The challenge first came to light in 2021 and has resurfaced after an 18-month hiatus. The prank is illegal and potentially dangerous for the offender, as homeowners may interpret it as a real threat and respond with force.
