TikTok trend resulting in teens getting stuck in baby swings slammed by fire chiefs
FIRE chiefs have slammed a thoughtless TikTok trend which results in teens getting stuck in baby swings - after the number of emergency callouts nearly doubled in a year.
Tory MP Nigel Mills said: “This is shocking and ridiculous at the same time. It’s a total waste of resources for firefighters.“I’d be tempted to leave them there, although, I suppose, you can’t really. Call outs were at least double for fire services such as Merseyside, Manchester and Leicestershire - with Essex, Buckinghamshire, Cleveland, Worcester, Northamptonshire and Northern Ireland more than tripling.Northumberland had two in 2019 but 12 the following year. Oxfordshire, West Sussex and Norfolk all only had one call out each in 2019 but eight, six and five rescues respectively last year.
