Seventh graders are facing criminal charges over the skull breaker challenge.

The challenge is causing serious injuries.

Off line 12 year old Parker from Alabama broke his wrist, but the challenge can also cause even more serious head injuries.

That's what happened to Mark Shankar's 13 year old son.

He subsequently fell, hit his head and suffered a concussion, and a seizure is a result of the fall.

Now his sons to seventh grade classmates are facing third degree charges of aggravated assault and endangering an injured victim.

I think it's a shame that it came to that, but it is what it is now.

Hopefully, the this will have taught them a really serious lesson.

In filing the charges, the acting prosecutor says she wants to send a message.

Please talk to your Children about the potential consequences when you participate in a challenge or online trend.

While the challenges may seem funny or get views on social media platforms, they can have serious and long lasting health consequences.

The challenge is also a form of cyber bullying, experts say.

You're now recording yourself assaulting someone, and now you've put it out publicly, so absolutely this is gonna follow you.
