Schools across Stone have today issued a warning to parents about “The Game”, which contains several different actions for them to complete, including the encouragement of self-harm and hurting others.
Dear Parent/Carer,
Staffordshire County Council have asked us to make you aware of the following information:
It has come to our attention that there is “A game” being circulated via Facebook to children which contains several different actions for them to complete, including the encouragement of self-harm and hurting others.
Whilst many of our children will, we are sure, be confident in ignoring these messages, we are also conscious that around the country there have been several incidents where dares via social media have led to a child’s death.
Please see the attachment of a screenshot of how the message has been appearing on Facebook.
