‘National Rape Day’ Hoax Sparks Panic Across TikTok

A vile hoax claiming 24th April is “National Rape Day” has been spreading like wildfire on TikTok—and it’s causing real fear among youngsters. The disgusting fake post implies rape is legal on this date. It’s nothing but sick trolling making light of a horrific crime.

Knife-Wielding Child Terrified By False Rumour

Warnings turned chilling when an 11-year-old girl showed up to school armed with two knives, terrified she might be attacked on the supposed “day.” Thankfully, the knives were recovered safely, and no one was harmed. The child received support and reassurance from police and family.

Parents Urged to Calm Kids and Report the Hoax

Authorities warn parents to firmly tell their kids this “National Rape Day” claim is a total lie. There’s no such thing, and children certainly should not be arming themselves out of fear.

If you spot this cruel hoax on social media, report it immediately. Don’t share it—spreading the rumour only fuels anxiety and panic among young people.
