A 24-year-old mother in Helsingborg, Sweden, was found guilty of harassment after cracking an egg on her five-year-old daughterβs forehead during a TikTok livestream in February. She said it was part of a popular social media trend and didnβt mean to hurt her daughter.
The court didnβt agree, saying the act was not okay, even if meant as a joke. She was ordered to pay about $75 in fines and around $750 to her daughter for causing distress. The case got attention because of the viral βegg crack challenge,β where parents smashed eggs on kidsβ heads for views.
