A Magic Valley homeowner recently shared footage of a group of local youths participating in a viral challenge that involves kicking a home's front door in the middle of the night and running off. This incident ended with an unlikely helping of regret by the teenager who did the kicking.

The 'Door Kick Challenge' is yet another moronic viral challenge that many foolish young people are taking part in to conjure up excitement in their otherwise lackluster lives. This isn't doorbell ditching, which most adult homeowners find to be harmless. This challenge is something else entirely, and it's amounting to felony charges and physical confrontations in many instances.

There's not much that separates this challenge from an attempted home invasion, in which property owners are allowed to use lethal force to defend themselves. If you 'Google' the challenge, you'll find news stories from across the country regarding it and the repercussions that those who have taken part in it have faced.

NOTE: Magic Valley Rants and Raves is a private group. Not everyone will be able to access the video.

Over the weekend, a southern Idaho homeowner shared footage on a local rants and raves Meta page. The initial post showed three young men taking part in the challenge, with one doing the kicking and two others waiting on the sidewalk. A Caucasian male is seen kicking the door once before turning around and fleeing.

The individual whose camera captured the incident later provided an update.

'Update…. The young man has reached out to me and apologized for his behavior and will be paying me for the damages and my time spent fixing the door. Thank you everyone that helped me get a message to him so he could make it right.

Rant to people kicking down my door in the middle of the night.'
It will never be known what truly inspired the young man to apologize--it was either out of fear of the video exposing him to family or law enforcement, or he had a come-to-Jesus moment.
Regardless of motivation. Kudos to the young man.
Hopefully young people realize how risky this challenge is. Sometime very soon, someone is going to get unalived participating in this business.
