It was an establishment in the Landes that raised the alarm. On Saturday, September 16, all parents of Angresse school students received a warning message against the “comma game,” reports France Bleu. The day before, a mother of a student who was a victim of the phenomenon made a report.
This is a new trend on TikTok that worries parents, especially because of its danger. The principle is to give a strong blow to the back of the head, in two steps in opposite directions.
The name takes up that of a technical gesture in football. But this time his feet are replaced by his hands.
Raise awareness among teaching staff
The practice is strongly criticized because it can cause serious damage from the blow delivered. Above all, the cervical spine can also be affected. Especially since the “commas” are usually carried out by surprise, behind the victims’ backs.
At the moment, only one case has been registered at the Bordeaux academy. But their intention is to put an end to this trend before it develops. For this reason, a note was sent to all school directors in the region. Its objective is to warn, but it also requires the greatest vigilance.
According to the Bordeaux Academy, “it also offers guidelines for management staff: sensitize all teaching and school life staff about this phenomenon, mobilize the university life council and class representatives to sensitize them on this issue.
On TikTok, videos are multiplying. They accumulate several dozen, even hundreds of thousands of visits. Most were published during this back-to-school month. But the game already seems widespread, with some short formats dating back several months.
