A video news has seen shows that the man is beaten and kicked while he is lying down, and that he is bleeding profusely. – We strongly distance ourselves from sharing videos of violence, such sharing is also punishable, says Huseby. The police themselves say that there is not a large scale of such cases in Trøndelag, but that they are nevertheless concerned that it could spread. They therefore ask parents to be vigilant. – Very young children can be exposed to the trend through social media and in the worst case become involved in something that can have major, negative consequences.
