#VIDEO | A Dominican in Lawrence was a victim of the dangerous “Skull Break Challenge”
The 13-year-old Dominican student Kathleen de Jesus from a high school in Lawrence, Massachusetts, suffered a severe concussion and other blows to the body after participating without knowing it in the dangerous game “Skull Breaker Challenge” , which is becoming very popular among teenagers through the TikTok application, despite the warnings of experts and parents.
The teenager, said she did not know what the game was that requires the victim to jump between two partners while they pull him by the feet at the time of falling, running the risk of falling on his back and suffering serious injuries.
“This must stop, it is getting out of control, I thought I was going to die,” he said of Jesus. “I was paralyzed. When I fell I suffered a concussion and was numb, I could not feel my legs, my feet, my hands, nothing, “added the student in an interview with Channel 10 of the NBC network in Boston.
The game that is being watched and activated by hundreds of thousands of followers daily, has drawn the attention of the United States authorities, who issued an alert last week and in Latin American schools, for cases of injuries in Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela, because players can suffer from cervical sprains to brain hemorrhages and fractures
DeJesús’ case occurred in January, but it was not until now that she revealed the details, after another student in Miami also suffered heavy shocks and blows and the mother is demanding the school.
