In December, the Helsinki Police Department responded to several emergency calls related to TikTok challenges, in which children as young as 10 attempted to climb onto dangerous locations such as apartment building roofs.
The Helsinki Police Department considers participation in dangerous challenges an alarming trend. Engaging in these challenges can be extremely dangerous for children and young people.
Children and young people should not engage in dangerous challenges, nor should they encourage others to do so. Parents have a responsibility to address this issue with their minor children.
The Helsinki Police Department does not provide address-specific information regarding emergency calls.
