Alberta RCMP urges parents to be aware of online trends
Edmonton – Alberta RCMP want to remind parents to be aware of their children’s online activity, as there are new trends and viral videos emerging at all times.
For example, there have been allegations on social media of the “48-hour challenge,” which dares youth to go “missing” for 48 hours to earn points based on the number of times they are mentioned during their disappearance.
Every report of a missing person is taken seriously and investigated with all available resources. Investigations on current and recent missing youth have not revealed any link to the “48-hour-challenge.”
