Sioux County Iowa — A recent social media challenge and trend has made its way into Sioux County schools and the Sioux County Sheriff’s Office would like to inform the public, parents, and schools about it. The nationwide TikTok trend called “Devious Licks,” is aimed at middle school and high school students encouraging them to vandalize and steal items from their school bathrooms.
The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer, Deputy Waylon Pollema, has been working closely with the schools he regularly visits in not only getting the word out about this trend, but also working with schools who have raised concerns about issues in their buildings.
Pollema encourages parents to talk with their kids about this trend and to make sure they understand that there are consequences for poor decisions.
Pollema states that most area schools are taking a hard stand on this and that actions like this could be problematic with consequences for students who choose to vandalize and steal school property.
