A dangerous new YouTube trend, the Hot Water Challenge, is causing kids to burn themselves. Videos are circulating where kids try to withstand hot water, and in one case even drink it. Though the trend hasn’t gone viral, several incidents are startling enough to cause “a simmering moral panic.” An eight-year-old girl recently died from drinking boiling water through a straw, a ten-year-old suffered severe injuries, and an 11-year-old has burns bad enough “that doctors won’t even let her look at them.” (NYMag)
