According to SMVLC, Arriani and Lalani participated in TikTok’s 'blackout challenge,' which encourages users to choke themselves with belts, purse strings or other similar items until passing out.

A new TikTok challenge has caused schools across the country to take extra precautions on Friday. It's unknown where the TikTok school threat came from but the challenge suggests numerous school shootings will take place on December 17. In Maryland, authorities say a 13-year-old has confessed to creating a fake social media profile to make threats against a Frederick County school in connection with the TikTok challenge.

"Because many of these Tik Tok challenges involved eating and dancing, Arriani’s parents did not regard them as dangerous," SMVLC said in a news release. Similarly, Lalani Erika Renee Walton of Temple, Texas, received her first cellphone when she turned eight years old, according to SMVLC. Watson cut Lalani down and called 911 but when officers arrived, they determined the 8-year-old died due to self-asphyxiation.
