Chambers County Sheriff Investigates Dangerous ‘Door-Kicking Challenge’ Reports

The Chambers County Sheriff’s Office is investigating incidents involving the viral “door-kicking challenge,” a social media trend where individuals kick doors as a prank while recording the act.

Authorities warn that this activity is not only disruptive but also poses significant risks. Homeowners may interpret the challenge as an attempted burglary, potentially leading to confrontations or defensive measures that could escalate dangerously.

The Sheriff’s Office urges parents to speak with their children about the dangers of participating in such social media challenges. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior to law enforcement.

“This is not a harmless prank—it’s reckless, unlawful, and could have life-altering consequences,” stated the Sheriff’s Office.

The investigation is ongoing as officials work to address the issue and maintain community safety.
