In the news:

New-sites across the nation are warning parents of a new social media “game” should cause concern. Children as young as 14 are taking part in an online game that encourages them to deliberately vanish for up to 48 hours.

To take part, kids must fake their own disappearance and have no communication with their family of friends for as long as 48 hours. Points are awarded for every social media mention they receive while they're missing. This means any concerned posts or appeals for whereabouts online only serve to encourage the kids to stay missing.

Since it’s often difficult to stand up to peer pressure, parents should talk with their children om how to make proper choices and discuss way of how to say no.
