Charge those darn kids…and WHO makes up these TikTok challenges???
Thank you for spreading this info. I hope they are found and held responsible.
This is further proof of the sense of entitlement these devices create in their owners.
This is my wife. Thank you all for the kind words. My wife’s health conditions are extensive, primarily from cancer 30 years ago. I’ve been advised to not share details – however there was enough head trauma, which resulted in her finally coming to, around an hour later at UCI hospital…She’s the worst person to do this to, you don’t know what people suffer from nor their prior traumas in life…
This is no prank. This is a CRIME.
Very eloquently phrased by the victim. You never know what challenges a person is dealing with, so respect each other.
This is assault. Those people need to be arrested and charged.
Glad to know she’s doing ok.. hope those teenagers get charged
I’m sorry this happened to her. These kind of pranks are stupid and just need to STOP, PERIOD! Prayers to this woman and I hope the assaulters get caught ASAP.
The fact that people think they have the right to go up to people and do this stuff is beyond me… 😑
Today’s youth is terrible. I work at a mall and one of the anchor stores is a Target. Every single time when I go buy a snack, I see them running out into the mall with alcohol bottles under their sweaters, or stuffing their backpacks with snacks or clothing. Loss prevention is useless there. Anyway, hoping she has a quick recovery and those darn kids are caught and brought to justice.
The fact that people think it’s acceptable to play “pranks” on unsuspecting strangers and film them while doing so in order to get attention on social media will never cease to negatively surprise me. What the heck is wrong with people nowadays?!
There needs to be serious consequences for this. This is not acceptable. How dare they invade her personal space…people have no respect anymore. If this goes unpunished it’ll continue & become worse.
I can’t find the right words to express such disappointment in society. I do want to let the lady know that she didn’t deserve this & I’m glad that she is okay.
Horrifying. God Bless and help this woman and her family.
People need to understand that pranking random strangers without their consent and filming them without their consent is UNACCEPTABLE and there should be consequences.
If you want to prank people unsuspectingly, stick to your friends and family who already know that you do this stuff and have given you the ok to do pranks on them. Random strangers do not want to be harassed, assaulted, or humiliated for your profit and benefit to your social media accounts.
I’m so sorry this happened, something so unnecessary with devastating results. Like no place is safe anymore! People’s lives aren’t a joke they’re precious! I’m glad she’s recovering and I pray for her continued healing. Congratulations on your beautiful twin boys. ❤️🙏🏽❤️
I can’t believe people are so immature. I’m so sorry this happened to this lady and I pray she’s better now
This is why you need to really think about the types of “pranks” you’re doing. People prank their friends in public places for online purposes and kids think it’s real and do stuff to strangers. Hope this woman, her family and anyone else effected by this are safe and doing well.
This is horrifying. I have health issues to that would be set off by something like this, and would trigger a seizure. I hate that we are living in an age that people think it’s acceptable to do this to people or even to film strangers and then put them online for people to comment on. I hope she recovers mentally from this as quickly as possible so she can enjoy this time in her life.
