The Tippecanoe Sheriff's Department has issued a warning to parents about the latest 'Viral Challenge'.

It's called the '48 Hour Challenge', and it encourages teens to go missing for up to 2 days at a time and awards points for every social media mention while they are missing.

For obvious reasons, this is a terrible idea! It's another reason to keep a close eye on your child's online presence and always knowing where they are.
