The 'devious licks' TikTok challenge has students stealing toilets and vandalizing bathrooms

Whether it's stolen urinals, smashed floor tiles or missing soap dispensers, the destruction is apparent in school bathrooms across the United States.

It's the latest trend to go viral on Tiktok, called "devious licks":
Middle school, high school and college students vandalize school property, most commonly bathrooms, and post their results on the social media app.

A quick search on Twitter revealed a copious catalog of "devious lick" videos, which featured people stealing a bathroom sink and other school property. In response, some schools are locking bathrooms for large portions of the day.

1. The kids sign in and out for restrooms with both times.
2. A teacher sits in the hall.
3. That teacher monitors how many go in.
4. That teacher monitors how much time the kids stay. A sharp rap on the door signals time’s up.
5. Vice Principal notified when a kid refuses to come out.
