        I'm really sorry that she was hurt but how stupid do you have to be to do something called the fire challenge. All of these "challenges" are just ridiculous ways for kids to hurt or kill themselves. Parents need to look at what their kids are watching online.

        It is so sad to hear about the results of these challenges. I didn’t even care to much for the ice bucket challenge. It amazes me though that kids know the social media YouTube. I didn’t have a phone until 17.

        Sometimes the killer is fire. Sometimes it’s boiling water. Or even cinnamon. But none of these killers would thrive without social media. Parents need to immerse their children in reality before granting online privileges.

        Why would someone do a stupid challenge like this? As the saying goes, you play with fire your going to get burned. Stop the stupid challenges already and do something more productive.

        I'm sorry. But I don't get your response. What does money have to do with the challenge that people so now days. So u mean to say that people eat Tide pods, that were meant to wash clothes & not eat because they are poor? Again it's plain stupid.

        YouTube pays money depending on how many views you get which is why dumb arses are doing these challenges. Literally the first two words I commented were views=money
