Parents are being warned to speak to their kids after a TikTok challenge saw 18 teens cut free from swings.
Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service (MFRS) are urging teens to think twice, and parents to speak to their children after a social media trend resulted in the service being called to free more than a dozen teenagers across Merseyside in just one month.
Since the start of April fire crews have responded to 18 incidents involving people being trapped in baby and infant swings in playgrounds and parks - with 14 of these taking place in May alone.
