「踢门挑战」在Irvine回潮：警方过去一个月接到20多起报告，公布门铃视频警告这不是恶作剧、是破坏公物
加州橙县 Irvine 警察局近日警告，一度在社交平台流行的「踢门挑战」正在当地回潮：据 ABC7 11月13日报道，警方过去一个月接到20多起相关报告，并公布了多段门铃与监控视频。画面中有人在白天和夜间跑到住户门前、用力踹门后逃走，有住户的房门已经被踹坏。
所谓「踢门挑战」，是参与者走到陌生人住宅门前猛踹房门、同伴拍下视频发到社交平台。Irvine 警察局此前已通过 KCAL 9 警告参与的青少年：「这不是恶作剧，这是破坏公物，而且可能以糟糕的结局收场。」
据 ABC7 报道，警员 Ziggy Azarcon 在警局外受访时表示，这种用力踹门的行为很容易让屋内居民以为真的有人要闯入、从而采取自卫行动；知情却放任孩子参与的家长，也可能要承担责任。警方呼吁家长和孩子认真谈一次这件事的后果。
这一挑战此前已在全美多地出现。亚利桑那州 Phoenix 警察局9月通报，一名14岁少年凌晨踹坏一户住宅的定制前门、造成约1万美元损失，已被逮捕并登记在案，警方明确将案件与这股社交平台风潮关联。佛罗里达、新泽西等地警局近月也相继发出同类警告。
截至报道时，Irvine 警方没有公布当地是否已逮捕参与者。警方公布视频时标注了「IRVINE PD」字样，居民如拍到类似行为可向警方报告。
'Door Kick Challenge' Resurfaces in Irvine: Police Log More Than 20 Reports in a Month, Release Doorbell Video Warning It Is Vandalism, Not a Prank
The Irvine Police Department in Orange County, California, is warning that the social-media 'door kick challenge' is resurfacing locally: according to ABC7 on November 13, police have received more than 20 reports in the past month and have released doorbell and security footage. The videos show people running up to homes in daylight and at night, kicking front doors as hard as they can and fleeing; some doors have been damaged.
In the challenge, participants walk up to a stranger's front door, kick it forcefully and have a companion record the act for social media. The Irvine Police Department had already warned teenagers through KCAL 9: 'This isn't a prank. It's vandalism, and it can end badly.'
According to ABC7, Officer Ziggy Azarcon said outside police headquarters that kicking a door that aggressively can easily make residents inside believe a real break-in is under way and take defensive action, and that parents who knowingly allow their children to take part could also be held accountable. Police urged parents to have a serious conversation with their children about the consequences.
The challenge has appeared across the United States. In September, the Phoenix Police Department in Arizona reported arresting a 14-year-old who kicked in a custom front door at about 6:30 a.m., causing an estimated $10,000 in damage, and explicitly linked the case to the viral social-media trend. Police agencies in Florida, New Jersey and elsewhere have issued similar warnings in recent months.
As of the reports, Irvine police had not announced any local arrests. The released footage is labeled 'IRVINE PD,' and residents who capture similar incidents are asked to report them to police.
