School principals, teachers and parents are demanding a complete ban on the social network TikTok in Bulgaria. The reason is the incidents that have not passed by Bulgarian children in an attempt to complete the "Superman" and "Spiderman" challenges. 

There have already been dozens of incidents in Greece, Serbia, Romania. 

There are already several children who have been injured and have sought medical help in Bulgaria. One student has a broken vertebra in the fall, the second has a cracked bone in his leg, and the third has a dislocated shoulder. 

"An extremely smart and studious child was injured in an attempt to complete a challenge," said Diyan Stamatov, principal of 119th Secondary School in Sofia and chairman of the Union of Directors in the Public Education System of Bulgaria. Most parents support the ban, but more radical measures are needed," says Stamatov.
