The Seabreeze High School TikTok video shows three girls and when the girl in the middle jumps, the two other girls stick out their feet to trip her and she falls.





After a viral TikTok video of two Seabreeze High School students tripping a third student sparked outrage from the community, the parents of the victim have decided to press charges, Daytona Beach police officials said Friday.

The school resource officer was first made aware of the incident on Jan. 31.

The video was posted to TikTok, a social media platform where users create short, humorous videos. The video shows three girls standing in a hallway. The two girls on the outside jump once in time with the music. A moment later, the girl in the middle jumps, while the two other girls stick out their feet to trip her and she falls.

Originally, the victim’s parents did not want to press charges and asked the school to handle it, according to a Friday statement from the Daytona Beach Police Department. But the parents changed their minds as the investigation progressed.

"We investigated and disciplinary action has been taken," Spokeswoman Kelly Schulz said, adding that a message was scheduled to go home to parents Friday evening encouraging them to speak to their children about what they post to social media.

After the video was posted last week, it was shared and criticized on TikTok and other social media websites, along with the names of the students involved. Rumors circulated about how the students were punished and the condition of the girl who fell, along with identifying information about the two girls who allegedly created the video. A change.org petition demanding "justice for African American special needs student" has more than 26,000 signatures.

The News-Journal was unable to confirm any information about the students‘ identities and the TikTok post appears to have been removed.

"Much of what has been put out on social media regarding this matter is factually incorrect," the police department statement reads.

The statement did not say if the girl who fell has a disability or how the other two girls in the video were disciplined, nor would Schulz. According to the statement from police, the girl did not suffer or report injuries from the incident.

Police had not made an incident report available late Friday afternoon.
