A Long Beach student was arrested for allegedly participating in a national social media challenge that encouraged students to stuff lead or metal into the port of their Chromebook laptop.

"Chromebook Challenge" is a viral Tiktok trend where students short-circuit their Chromebook computers in school releases, causing sparks, smoke and in some cases fire.

The video on Tiktok shows students' rolls of paper, pencils or lead from mechanical pencils to USB ports.

A 13-year-old student was involved in allegedly associated with a fire in the Perry Lindsey Academy classroom on Thursday, according to the Long Beach Police Department.

No injuries.

According to Long Beach Unified School District, the student inserted an outside object into the battery charging port, damaging the Chromebook.

The district declined to say whether the student was responsible for damage to the computer.

This is not the first time that students who have harmed Chromebooks to create this social media challenge have been disciplined, but the district has not specified how many others have happened.

The district urges parents and caregivers to talk to students about the dangers of participating in social media challenges.

"Plug objects into charging ports is unsafe and can lead to significant disciplinary and legal consequences," the district said in a statement. "We ask families to continue to strengthen responsible digital behavior at home and remind students: If you see something, say something."

In a middle school in Northern California, a student participated in the challenge by getting her Chromebook smoke. The teacher released the fire extinguisher on the smoking computer and evacuated the classroom.

School districts in Connecticut, Colorado, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire reported incidents in the smoking chicken magazine.

Maureen Brummet, principal of the Newdington Public School, said Chromebooks are expensive and priced up, "so when students intentionally and intentionally destroy Chromebooks, they are responsible for replacing it," NBC reported.

A local fire marshal who filled a school in Connecticut with smoke, told NBC that batteries in computers produce toxic smoke when they catch fire.

The challenge video was previously found on Tiktok by searching #ChromeBookChallenge on Tiktok, but the app has been removed by the app. Instead, Tiktok users will find the title “Your security matter” and leave a message: “Some online challenges can be dangerous, disturbing, or even fabricated.”

Dangerous social media challenges have been happening for years, including the 2016 "Cinnamon Challenge" (inhaling a tablespoon of cinnamon) or the 2018 "Tidal Pod Challenge" that encourages social media users to swallow up soap-filled laundry to provide likes and attention.
