The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a dangerous TikTok trend known as the ‘Door Kicking Challenge.’ Deputies have received several reports of juveniles kicking doors of occupied homes and running away. Officials stress that this behavior can be mistaken for an attempted break-in and may lead to serious harm under Florida’s Castle Doctrine (F.S. 776.013), which allows residents to use force, including deadly force, if they believe someone is trying to enter their home unlawfully. Parents are urged to talk with their children and discourage participation in this trend.
