I don't know what to say. It would be rude for me to say if she was a stupid to take that challenge (forgive me of my rudeness).

I'd say it would be better if there age limit to every social media.
12 years is too young for her to get involved with adult stupid challenges. At her age, their curiousity and impulsiveness it can lead her into now.

Maybe government should filter these type of challenges instead blocking them. Filtering nonsense idea to reduce number of self harm by accident or stupid ideas.

In my other opinion, yes TikTok should be banned since it gave nothing benefical to people except doing stupid things to gain fame. It used to post creative videos but now just plain stupid.
