>KIDS as young as 14 are going missing for days at a time as part of a worrying new Facebook game called the "48-hour challenge." >The shocking challenge invites children to hide from their parents and loved ones for as long as possible, with participants awarded a higher score every time they are mentioned on social media. >This means that kids are given points if their frantic parents take to Facebook or Twitter to sound the alarm. >The latest "challenge" is very similar to the "Game of 72" which shocked the nation in 2015 by telling kids to disappear for 24, 48 or even 72 hours. >One mum from Country Derry told Belfast Live that her child left the local area and was found some 55 hours later in Ballymena, a town in a totally different county. >“I was terrified they were dead or would be raped, trafficked or killed," she said. >"But these kids just think it’s funny. There was not even a moment of remorse when my child was taken into police custody and when the police brought my child home, I could see posts of selfies from the police car." >Earlier this year, parents were warned that Facebook may never be able to fully protect users against exposure to horrific and violent acts being streamed on its Live platform. >The social network was rocked by a string of brutal murders, suicides and rapes that were broadcast online using its livestreaming feature, which was launched in April 2016.
Disgusting, I think it's time for a final solution to the Russian problem.

Why in the fuck would you allow your kids to go on Kikebook?
Eli Price
People dont even use facebook anymore. Its all instagram, snapchat etc
Jeremiah Hughes

Ian Ward
My Papa tried this game when I was only 6 years old. Needless to say, I think he failed the challenge.
I think he might hold the record though...

Lucas Jenkins
so recently there have been a number of arrests when it comes to pedophelia/child trafficking. Now this "game" comes along to convince kids to go missing. (((coincidence)))?
Mason Garcia
You're a literal retard. Seek mental help and lurk more.

I have siblings in all ages ranging from 12 to 30, not one of them, nor their friends use facebook (they all have a profile though). Instead they all hang around on Instagram and Snapchat. Well, at least that is the current place to be, a few years ago it was Kik, who knows what will be the hot, new thing tomorrow.
Logan Lewis
i mean we have the school shooting scoreboard
Nolan Gutierrez
This reminds me that I still haven't done the stalker challenge. I need to find some abandoned shit pronto.
Hunter Collins
You mean the cheeki breeki challenge?
Michael Gutierrez
With all these "Challenges" and now news of helping influence the election, I love Facebook.
Xavier Perry
What the fuck did I just read. Picks of this "points based game" or I'm calling bullshit.
Anthony Sanchez
I'm sure all this shit isn't exclusively on FB, probably easier and faster to spread on other sites.
Zachary Brooks
You do know that instagram is owned by facebook right?
Cooper Williams
I bet Russia is behind this.
Parker Reyes
This is a really interesting take, and seeing how the truth is always stranger than fiction, well I wouldnt be suprised if it were (((them))) somehow
Adrian Morgan

Aside from the usage of Fagbook, this sounds like a great idea. It might scare soccer moms, boomers, and other unenlightened plebeians into realizing just how dumb and overprotective they are and how stranger danger and kidnappings are a mass media meme.
