Editorial: Breaks skull, new youth game

Although our young people take it as a game, the game “Skull Breaker” can cause irreversible damage to the skull, fracture and even the death of the victim.

The game consists of three friends standing side by side; the two at each side jump first, when the center jumps, they kick his legs so that he falls on his back, thus causing a blow in the skull.

We do not know where this game of such poor taste originated, but social networks are full of examples that may have been the reason why it has become so popular among high school youth.

In Guayaquil, Colombia, a young man received a severe concussion that caused memory loss, vertebral lesions and a lack of sphincter control.

The skull breaker challenge is a pseudo game that went viral in other countries and is intended to be popular on Dominican soil, so the Ministry of Education warns that such practices “are not allowed under any circumstances, inside and outside the schools,” El Listín Diario reported in the Dominican Republic.

On the other hand, Venezuela Daily reports on its digital page that, “Challenges have become a trend among people who enjoy social networks, especially young people and children. Some may be quite harmless as the Ice Bucket Challenge, which began as a beneficial cause, but there are others that are very dangerous such as the 48 hours challenge or eating cinnamon powder. “The worry is that a few days ago a new and much more dangerous challenge began to be viral, called the “skulls breaker.

Schools and colleges have sent alerts to parents informing about this new challenge, it is known that the majority of young people who do it are from Latin American countries. This is not the first time that young people play dangerous games for following social media challenges.” Venezuela daily ends.

We know that the “Break Skulls game” is already in Lawrence and we are investigating one case so far, and we pray that there is only one.

It is inconceivable that in the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Venezuela, parents are already aware of the danger facing their children; but because here, in Lawrence “NOTHING EVER HAPPENS”, they are hiding it.
