There's a worrying trend emerging amongst teenagers in Kilkenny.
Parents in the county are being warned about a challenge being undertaken by teens to see who can go missing for longest.
The aim of the challenge is to get social media hits and shares as well as coverage in regional and local media.
The target is reportedly to go missing for around 72 hours.
