KMF alarms the spread of dangerous game for children in TikTok

The Coalition of NGOs for Child Protection KOMF, which represents 34 nongovernmental organisations, is following with great concern the information published in the media on the spread of the dangerous game running through TikTok “The challenge, or real,” that promotes the children's self - injurer behavior.

KOMF says that so far, according to publications in two nine-year schools in the municipality of Fushe-Kosovo and Lipjani, there have been identified about 20 students who participated in the game, damaging their wings by sharp means.

However, there is the possibility that this number is larger or that it will increase in the coming days, as the game is running online and it is accessible on phones, devices that many children possess or that they spend a long time with. We look to all the kids, it's not a game. Playing this game can harm you physically and can have lasting effects on your health. Get involved in games that help you grow up strong and healthy and stay away from these”, he said. COMF in this reaction.

KOMF has urged all children to report to the parent or teacher if they have information that their friends or friends are involved in this game.

This is the only way you can really help your friends”, the KMF noted in the communique.

KOMF has also called on all parents to monitor their children during their online stay and to talk to their children about this “games”, risks and damages it brings.

The KOMF recently asked institutions to implement administrative guidelines for child protection against pornographic and life-influencing websites, which are sent to the Child Protection Law.
