damn. Guess that mean you did not have comprehensive coverage? The worse part is these kids will say things like "Its ok for me to steal this because by law the the owner has insurance to cover what I do". Hope things turn around for you

There's a thing called chargeback LMAO

I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if that were to ever exist tbh

I know you're joking but LifeLock had a commercial with a guys SSN on the side of a massive bus, challenging people to steal his identity. To the surprise of literally no one, he got his identity stolen at least 13 times.

This isn't new. Previous generations have said that about the generation before them and the cycle continues. The only difference is that we live in the age of accessible information, we hear about things around us more often than before. That can be a good and a bad thing.

The problem here isn't tiktok, it's global capitalism destroying communities, where kids have so little recreational shit to do because their communities are underfunded, that this is the most exciting thing they can do. Tiktok is just the excuse for them to do it. We need to get to the root cause, capitalism.

​@@TheHuskyK9 It's arguably more dangerous for today's children/teens since the information is quicker and more engaging than before via faster internet and incredibly short & snappy videos (tiktok mainly). Most tiktoks are low quality, and most tiktokers aim for quick fame without thinking about the consequences of their short video. All this, coupled with the fact that younger people are much more naive, is a recipe for disaster. They're more likely to goof than last years' teens.

@@TheHuskyK9 Nah, it's different this time because we live in the age of constant stimulation. The internet is isolating people more and more as corporations discover new and better ways to grab our attention. This isolation is going to drive people insane because they don't know any better. Internet addiction isn't culturally recognized as a form of addiction yet. Medically it's recognized though.

Bad parenting is where the issue starts honestly, after that its just plain stupidity

When I was in school it was trendy for friends to choke each other out

Its natural selection

Children aren't known for critical thinking.

The weak die while the strong survive

Honestly though, I think tik tok trends may be the next step in human evolution. I mean we are over populated. We try out very best to give all babies a chance at life. We take care of disabled people, the elderly, the terminally ill. Maybe TikTok is a modern form of natural selection in a world where we don't want anyone to die. Going so far as to illegalize suicide and take away federal protection for abortions. At least in America.

@@maineman5757 to be fair in a world without modern medicine you'd probably be dying around 15-25 and that's with critical thinking skills. Humans are getting dumber and dumber, and sure it's sad, but maybe it's the right next step. I mean it's better than getting overpopulated to the point that governments have to just off people or make baby licenses. Then again, it could be China's first step in taking over. Doing the long haul by making the future leaders of their enemies be dumber than rocks. Also I don't think it's fair to say "Children aren't known for critical thinking". These kids were in highschool. They knew the difference between what's right or wrong. They also knew what's something stupid you should never do. Unfortunately the clout was more important to them and it cost them their lives

My mother was a nurse growing up, and before the internet took off people were jumping hills riding on the flatbed of a stolen truck. One kid fell out the back hit his head and got permant brain damage. My mother has strong memories of losing it on people who said "that what he desrves". The kid was just conious enough to know something was wrong with him. They couldn't show him photos of himself because he would scream the word "back" pointing at himself, and then to the photo. I'm dead serious. That kid would've been luckier dying, but the world isnt some karmic justice system.

"For the most part" is right. Clearly, these kids didn't think of the consequences that would hit them, let alone the owner of the car or anyone else they put in danger. If they knew what they were doing they would be in court, not a morgue. Im not saying the kids should have gotten off with a slap on the wrist and a "do better next time".

this is why I have a superiority complex lol

Most teenagers aren't... Teenagers DO know better than stealing a car and leading police in a chase. Once you're like 12 you have a proper idea that actions have consequences. These kids must be intellectually disabled, have had piss poor parenting, are simply sociopaths that do not care or are thrill seekers. Any combination of that will do it. But most teenagers do not see something as stupid as this on TikTok and actually do it. It is not necessarily tiotoks problem. If it wasn't TikTok, it would be some other platform or simply word of mouth or the news. Kids did stupid criminal shit long before TikTok, it's just now we have way worse parenting, broken homes, less good (and active) role models in kids lives, and no consequences for these walking and talking masses of destruction. No, I am not suggesting beating kids or locking kids up without rehabilitation chances, but something has to change. Somewhere else in the comments someone was told to charge the parents for damages to their car. What parents? It's likely the father isn't in the picture and the mother is poor. If their actual parents can't parent them, we as a society have to step in and parent for them. Society is fucked right now. Truely a "we live in a society" moment and not "teenagers will be teenagers because clearly 16 year olds don't know stealing cars and speeding away from cops is a bad idea". I am upset these kids lost their lives for such stupidity, but I'm more upset for those around them that they have harmed, including SOME sympathy for their family members who lost their young ones. Hardworking people losing their only method of transportation due to some teens doing stupid shit and the excuse is "the screen brainwashed them!". I bet you these kids had criminal records or disciplinary action at school way before they started stealing cars. They would do something stupid regardless. Honestly, world would be better if kids just snuck out to have sex and drink alcohol. Usually doesn't end up in four minors dead, let alone major destruction of property for people unrelated to these kids. Edit: another issue is lack of proper mental health treatment. Violent kids with issues will grow up to be violent adults with issues. We barely have enough psych resources for people who are wanting to end their life, let alone people who pose a serious risk to others. We need more inpatient beds in both acute treatment settings (several days to a couple weeks) and more inpatient beds in long term residential care. Not to mention after school programs, intensive outpatient programs for short or long term and just simply therapy and social support. Right now our solution for troubled kids is to lock them up in juvie and let them out in a year. No real treatment there. We need to work on behavioral programs to enroll young criminals into, so they DONT BECOME CRIMINAL ADULTS. No more "see you about three weeks from now next time you do the same shit over again".

Social media is good if you sparingly use it, like for keeping in contact with distant family or friends you grew up with. But, at the risk of sounding like a "you kids always on your phone too much," unfortunately we live in a world where heavy, HEAVY social media usage is normal in the current young adults and teens, and that level of being "plugged in" absolutely fries your brain. These people's attention spans are lower than almost any other previously measured groups' attention spans, they have worse memorization skills, not to mention the bass-ackwards social "skills," and almost complete lack of work ethic (which I can kinda get what with their lack of physical and mental fortitude combined with work being more stressful now than it's almost ever been), among other more disturbing issues among these people. It's easy to see how being "parented" by the internet does not produce even a decent human being 99% of the time. Kids should never have been given unrestricted internet access.

I am surprised that KIA's car in the US doesn't have one. My Kia Picanto (Brazil), 8 years old, has an immobilizer. You can't move the car anywhere. The wheel will lock if you move it without a key in the ignition or using a fake/general one. My friends used to mock me because I didn't lock my car using the alarm key sometimes (it auto locks after 30 seconds) until I told them to try and move my car.

Yeah it's really weird people are defending Kia for not having something that has been basic and standard for decades at this point. It'd be like making a car without door locks. Or without air bags. Or, what keeps coming to mind, it reminds me of when many models of cars could be started with a poke under the steering column and a screwdriver in the ignition.

@@Willowy13 Your conflating two things together. Your Immobilizer only controls the ECU, it stops the engine from turning on without the correct code. Your Steering lock is independent of immobiliser, in fact you can have a steering lock on your car even if you don't have an immobiliser. It's a simple spring loaded mechanism which activates based on the key position in the ignition barrel. If you don't believe me you can test this yourself. Next time you go for a drive, when you switch the car off and remove the key, rotate your steering in one direction as much as you can. Now put the key back in the ignition and try to turn it on. You wont be able to turn the key. This is because you have increased the tension on the steering lock. To relieve the tension counter rotate the steering wheel in the opposite direction and you will be able to turn the key over.

I feel sorry for the car owners, sucks to have some idiot steal your car.

The troubles of owning a Korean car. Could've just saved up $5k more to get a car that isnt plastic and won't spontaneously combust. I'm not victim blaming, because the victims didn't know that Hyundai & Kia treat their cars like toys. Rip to all the people who've had problems with Hyundai/Kia.

It would be hard to prove which was the first video, or even if that person intended for people to copy them…. there’s just no way to hold anyone accountable for the whole trend/situation

its not about accountability, it's about FREE SPEECH. I don't get it with you people, y'all hate free speech so much

I think its a bigger problem than that. I think people are slowing realising that we live in an unfair world. The fact is that humans thrive better in communities now having more and more disconnect from each other will probably result in agression toward the system. Clout chasing is not a normal human trait but a consequence of a disconnected society.

@@Animescene23 I don't think the disconnect of communities is the problem but the overall social stratification as a result of rapidly expanding technology/the internet and the rise of social media where looking good or attractive or getting attention is seen as a better alternative to fading into the background as well as the decline of a unifying social component like religion and the nuclear family. That, and decreased attention spans, emotional/group social contagion as a result of "trends" which are pretty insidious usually.

Ok

It will only get worse

This is exactly why I don't have any social media accounts, aside from KZfaq of course.

It’s simple if you know anything about cars, it’s disgustingly easy and Kia needs to be investigated for letting this go for over 10 years

@@-whyquestion stop spamming,youtube might *permanently ban* you if you continue,

RIP Kia (and those kids that died too I guess)

To be fair if tiktok was banned then kids would get deadly new trends from another form of social media anyway

Even without tiktok people would still do this on youtube Nothing would change

@@SimBits you guys know tik tok was designed by the chinese government to destroy american youth and track Americans at the same time right

Trump was right

They'll simply go to another social media platform. Theres no stopping it

Social media will always be social media. It's the people that needs self control n some brain cells.

@@adotm6813 For sure. Younger and younger people have access to social media now and they are much more impressionable.

Labeling this a TT trend is misleading imo. It’s not like kids wake up, open the app, see this and decide to do it over a stupid dance. This is merely a platform that enabled this technique to commit a felony to spread for too long before they stopped it. Maybe there’s a TT of Addison Rae out there stealing a Kia and if so I’ll eat my words, but I don’t think “kids” were torn between dancing or stealing cars and only chose the former bc it went viral on TT.

calling joyriding and car theft a tiktok trend though is a new one. that's how they didn't have that before in usa/uk/eu... riiiiiiiiiiight? lol. 80's tiktok sure was crazy.

@@lasskinn474 lol, everyone blaming a social media platform for people committing felonies. “And tonight, a disturbing new TikTok trend has teens committing murder for clout. Has TikTok gone too far??”

It really would be a win to have TikTok removed and deleted from existence. I think the next best thing though, is for TikTok management to realize that their app is causing crime and death and for them to implement a way to check certain uploads before they go live for content that could lead to crime or death. TikTok can be a fun app, but it is also causing a lot of young people to kill themselves or nearly kill themselves and mostly accidently. But can a certain amount of blame be held to the parents? For not teaching their kids to analyze situations before they act? Or is social pressure just too high these days?

How does getting rid of Tik Tok fix the actual problem here. These stupid people aren't confined within this one app, all these dumb challenges will just end up on KZfaq or Twitter or something.

@@j.f3448 yeah this is too true. Do you think it comes back to what I said in comment about parenting or social pressures? Or are people just becoming too spontaneous?

@@Armpittt I think the parents also hold responsibility.

@@Armpittt i’m not saying you’re wrong but i think the pressure has gotten really high. you’ve got thousands, if not millions of people watching, and really pushing people to do these things because it’s “funny”, so of course you’re gonna a see few brain dead idiots(both underage and adult people) do this because they want to find approval, they enjoy the attention, and they feel like they have to. it’s sad, but it’s true. i’ve seen adults opinions swayed just by comments. can you imagine your friends pressuring you to do a tiktok and feeling nervous to be seen as less by everyone as a teen? sometimes what your parents taught you flies over your head in those situations. adults? well, they’re just stupid at that point. i’ve seen teens who don’t even post on tiktok but still feel like they need to be skinny or have a certain look/aesthetic or dress a certain way and it goes extreme to a point where they’re not really themselves but a byproduct of what tiktok wants everyone to be, what it finds attractive. it’s truly about looks and being seen a certain way to a point where everyone has a cookie cut personality. it sucks
