OCALA FL. (352 Today) — A viral social media trend known as the “door-kicking challenge” has reached Marion County, prompting a warning from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office about the real-life consequences of what some teens consider a prank.
The challenge, trending on TikTok and other platforms, involves participants — often juveniles — kicking or slamming doors late at night while filming themselves for online views. Though intended for laughs or shock value, the activity is considered criminal mischief under Florida law, and it has already caused damage locally.
