In 2023, a viral prank began on TikTok, where parents all over the world began filming themselves pranking their small children by cracking eggs on their heads. One person who watched a video uploaded by a mother from Helsingborg, Sweden, reported the incident to police, who arrested the mother and charged her with harassment. The 24-year-old mother defended herself, claiming that she was just repeating a harmless prank that was trending on TikTok, but that didn’t sway the judge. Last month, the woman was found guilty of harassing her daughter by a Helsingborg District Court and fined SEK 20,000 ($2,070), payable to her daughter.
