Nurse and mother Jinny Schmidt is raising awareness about a troubling game circulating among tweens called “The Firetruck Game.” In this game, boys touch girls without consent, pretending their hand is a firetruck and disregarding the girls’ discomfort when they say “red light.” Schmidt emphasizes the need for parents to teach their children about boundaries and consent, urging them to be vigilant if their kids mention the game. Viewers echoed her concerns and suggested serious consequences for such behavior. Schmidt’s message resonated with many, who pledged to discuss the issue with their children to promote safety and respect during the challenging middle school years.
