Social media videos are being blamed for vandalism at schools across the country, including here in Iowa. The "Devious Lick" TikTok challenge encourages kids to damage and steal bathroom fixtures while recording the activity.The trend has made its way to central Iowa schools including Johnston High School where students have stolen school property."In restrooms, we've seen things like soap dispensers, a handicap bar and then we've also had things like teacher's phones being taken, their doorstops and it just sort of goes up from there," said Laura Sprague of Johnston Community School District. The trend has some Johnston residents concerned."That's really concerning because we've lived here for a long time now and felt safe here, but things change," Johnston resident Amy Limyao said."I think a lot of people want to just do it as a joke...it's just like teenage delinquents," Johnston High School junior Waverly Zhao said. She said she's not a frequent TikTok user herself, but has heard her friends talking about the damage."They're just trying to impress their friends or be a part of the trend," she said about the students damaging property, "but I think once they realize they can get into trouble they'll stop."Johnston schools aren't the only ones being affected. The West Des Moines Police Department posted photos on Facebook, saying it also received several reports of this happening. The Johnston Police Department also posted on Facebook about park bathrooms that have been vandalized. Depending on the level of damage, police warned that these acts of theft are considered criminal acts and can lead to felony charges. Johnston Community School District is urging parents to talk with their children about the trend and explain the consequences of damaging public property."We always encourage parents to be aware of what's happening on their children's phones and their social media spaces and have those conversations at home," Sprague said. "Even though this is a big nationwide trend, it's really not something to be participating in because it does damage public property."
