TikTok Challenge Causes School Evacuation: Students Start Fires with Chromebooks

A viral TikTok challenge involving students inserting objects into their Chromebooks led to an evacuation at Newington High School in Connecticut on May 7th. Videos circulating on the platform show students attempting to set their laptops on fire using pencils and paper clips. "It became clear that the damage wasn't done intentionally," stated Dr. Maureen Brummett, Newington CT Superintendent. Newington CT Fire Marshall DJ Zordan added, "If there's a fire, it's producing toxic smoke. We don't want people breathing that stuff." The incident highlights the dangers of online challenges and the potential for serious consequences. School officials are working to educate students about the risks involved.
