BRAINTREE, Mass. — The most recent TikTok challenge has made its way to Braintree.
Boston 25 News obtained a school letter sent to parents after a student participated in the “slap a teacher” challenge on Thursday.
The letter says that any physical assault of staff will be immediately reported to the Braintree Police Department. The student will also face “significant school-based discipline, up to and including expulsion.” The student could also face legal charges from assault to indecent assault and battery.
