Children suddenly jump in front of cars moving on busy boulevards in Varna and run away after the car stops, writes “Monitor“. For another Tik-Tok fashion, which has reached the sea capital, they are alerting on social networks.
Children, usually between the ages of 12 and 15, stand in close proximity to traffic and when they see a car, they step up and run across the street, just a short distance from the cars. Information first appeared about the boulevard in front of the park in the Asparuhovo district, and later about similar examples of busy streets in other parts of the city.
Another resident of Varna noticed children waiting for the traffic to increase in order to get between the cars with their scooters, while others took pictures of them with their phones.
I am a witness – a young girl, crossing Kozloduy Street, lay down on the asphalt. Two buses and several cars came from the train station. I screamed fiercely to get up immediately so as not to get anyone in trouble and they ran away “, says a woman from Varna.
Parents seek an explanation for what is happening and call for conversations and more attention to the children. Many blame digital applications that teenagers like and blindly emulate what they see there. Others claim that fashion is not new at all, but so far it has been a “trademark” and entertainment for children in Roma neighborhoods.
A few days ago, the police in Veliko Tarnovo warned about such cases. Girls between the ages of 12 and 13 have been seen lying on footpaths to provoke reactions from drivers.
According to the teenagers themselves, the challenge, which is gaining momentum in the Tick-Tock network, was aimed at testing the resourcefulness and quick reactions of drivers, whether they will be able to apply the brakes and stop in front of them in time without running over them.
This is another insane challenge on the Internet after the extreme selfies on trains, electric poles and on the edge of precipices. “As they went to bed on the sidewalks now, tomorrow they can lie on the rails in front of the train,” the parents are indignant.
The teens and their parents are still wanted, but police have launched a massive operation to prevent accidents.
