Bern cantonal police are warning parents and young people about dangerous social media trends known as the “Blackout Challenge” or “pilot test.”
Authorities say two recent incidents linked to the challenge have occurred in the canton of Bern. One teenager suffered serious injuries, while another was treated for minor injuries.
The challenge involves strangulation games that can lead to unconsciousness and potentially life-threatening consequences.
Police say investigations are underway and are urging families to remain vigilant, warning that these online trends can have fatal outcomes.
