These challenges, which include the 'paper clip challenge' and the 'Chromebook challenge', are filmed and shared online, promoting risky behavior. The former involves inserting metal objects into electrical outlets, leading to dangerous sparks, while the latter targets Chromebook USB ports, risking short-circuiting that can result in fires or burns. Additionally, the 'senior assassin challenge' encourages unsafe play with replica guns in public. Authorities across the Greater Toronto Area are echoing the board's concerns, citing incidents of injuries and property damage.
