A TikTok viral video challenge where youths vandalize, or steal equipment from their schools appears to have hit Chilliwack.

There were 42 soap dispensers ripped off washroom walls in three high schools in the last two days, said assistant superintendent Kirk Savage of the Chilliwack School District.

Three toilet-paper dispensers were also vandalized, he confirmed. They鈥檙e scrambling to replace the equipment.

A sign in one washroom reads: 鈥淧lease use hand sanitizer after using washroom. No soap due to theft.鈥

Local schools reporting incidents include Chilliwack secondary, Sardis secondary and G.W. Graham.

On a local Facebook page, Chilliwack parents were warned to talk to their teens or check their social accounts after reports of the videos being uploaded by young people capturing their incidents of mischief.

The video content has since been removed by TikTok.

The challenge could initially be searched under the name 鈥楧evious Lick鈥 but then TikTok officials took action, with the communication team from TikTok tweeting:

鈥淲e expect our community to create responsibly - online and IRL.

鈥淲e鈥檙e removing content and redirecting hashtags & search results to our Community Guidelines to discourage such behavior. Please be kind to your schools & teachers.鈥
