ROCHESTER, Minn. – School restrooms were vandalized in just about every Rochester high school and middle school during September at the obvious urging of the kid-popular TikTok site Delicious Lick. The site issues a challenge every month. September’s was to vandalize school bathrooms. Users, mostly teen-age boys who  then post videos of their mischief gone awry. The idea: Who can outdo who.  What are schools to do? Well, clean up the messes. for starters, The Olmsted County sheriff’s office issued a call for parents to have conversations with their kids  about the Delicious Lick challenges and the very real consequences: “The Sheriff’s Office takes this seriously, and any violation of the law in our community or schools will be investigated and enforced.”
