Social media is part of the problem since many young teens would be influenced by other teens who would post themselves to perform this type of stunt. Their parents should also be responsible, since it's clearly their fault for not raising them properly.

@@rescuegirlBefore kids subway surfed for the thrill now it’s done for social media clout. As we know people will do anything to get attention on the internet so there are MORE incidents than before. It never went away but now more young people are participating.
Why what if their working hard hours to put food on the table out here in nyc you have to work hours can’t keep a tracker on dumb kids why jail the parents makes no sense
It’s all about being a follower and much of these kids wanna follower others and be on the social media platforms. Yes ur right I was happening In those time of eras but again it wasn’t promoted because there was no way to show it like there is now. So yes the social media has a lot of influence on these kids.

Social media doesn't force you to do anything, these teens have a choice and they fail to use common reasoning and self-preservation. Social media isn't going to force you to get on a train at 1am to surf on a train, it was that teen's choice to do it.
This is sad I'm 47 and there was instances when I was growing up of subway surfing but it wasn't rampant and popular it was considered something the rebels and crazy did
How many of you guys watched subway surfing on social media, yet still would never try it? 😂 I think its more of a lacking common sense issue than a social media issue
When I was 13 I’ve seen teens riding in the back of the last train car for fun or slide down the escalators rails. Riding on top of the trains is stupid thrill.
Don't blame social media! Its a parenting problems. Growing up by 1:am I was already on my third dream. But many parents today are immature and ignorant themselves. Prayers for the recovery of this child and the soul of the one departed.
Quotes from the story: "Social media is the reason. Parents are reminded to speak to their children." Am I missing something? I lived in NYC as a kid and a teenager and never once thought: "Hey, since I don't own a surf board and I am not a strong swimmer, so why not surf on top of this moving subway train?"
Every generation before this one knows that if they are told to walk over the electrified cable. We did it, we don’t question why it’s there or how come it’s so dangerous. This generation, let me put the wire in my mouth for views 🤦♂️
Stop blaming social media they have brains they dont know right from wrong raise them right but then again adults these says dont even know right from wrong
Always remember. Subway Surfing is dangerous. Don't do it. It's stupid for us viewers to be late for work every day when kids can't be doing dumb things. : )
Like 2 years ago, I saw a teen subway surfing in Manhattan. Dude slammed his head so hard into the metal beam that you would have sworn his face exploded once you saw the after math. He gave an interview not too long ago about his story. He's missing both eyes, nose, etc., but at least he's alive.
He has a father, infact he goes to my school and on the day of, after we got dismissed, I saw his whole family sobbing, including his father, mom, brother and sister.
@@jackieguccione94 Actually, I was talking about the 13 year old, He was surfing around 9 ish, infact that’s when my school started realizing about the situation
IT IS NOT SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!! Teens surfing have happened way before social media was popularized. It is the PARENTS and how they are raising their kids - I made it to the age I currently am, by using my head and having COMMON SENSE….
This is not from gaming or social media. The kids were school bus surfing back in the 90s. My son did it and bout scared me to death when he told me much later. The sh!t they don't tell you until somebody gets seriously injured or dies. Sneaky kids think they're invincible. Smh.
Nah, this has been going on waaaaay before social media. The reason why you're hearing about it is because of social media. But, kids have been playing deadly games on the trains since the early 60's and lots have died.

They didn’t have an idea I saved their life that day …those people that blame social media are partially correct! ….
When I living in low income housing, and I moved back home for a while to end that experience, the place was filled with families that all seemed to lack one thing: a grown man on the premises. People in the comments saying "Raise your children" well more like stop making children when you don't have a partner willing to help you to raise them. There's a direct correlation between kids not doing great and no father in the household whether it's being into gangs and crime, doing poorly at school, or roaming around unsupervised after dark. For black kids the fatherless rate is at 68%, for Hispanics 50%, whites 28% and Asian Americans 17%. which is why I'm betting this teen was not Asian.
Yes this is foolish but the teen is still very young! Not gonna sit here and say a child deserved to die just because he made a mistake. Some of you have no empathy.
first off what is a 15 year old doing out at 1 in the morning.
for real for real.
Easy answer the parents from da hood don’t care
Where was his father?
No, just kidding.
It’s NYC bro
These kids are out all night their parents sometimes work nights sometimes don’t care

Because nobody wants to see a dead kid in the streets.

Because they are kids and kids make dumb choices. We just pray those choices don’t cost them their lives…

Subway surfing has existed since subways introduced.

It will never stop unless they change the design of the trains. Make the roof a triangular shape.
This is getting way out of hand.
These kids are still doing this lunacy
can't fix stupid sadly!
