The case stems from a once-popular internet prank that gained traction among parents on TikTok. Typically carried out during baking sessions, the prank involves parents pretending to crack an egg into a bowl, only to unexpectedly break it on their child’s head.
The video, which was shared publicly on TikTok, caught the attention of a viewer who reported it to the police. Authorities launched an investigation that ultimately led to the mother being charged with harassment. In 2025, the Helsingborg District Court found her guilty and ordered her to pay her daughter SEK 20,000—equivalent to approximately $2,055 USD.
Prosecutor Cecilia Andersson, speaking to reporters, argued that the act was “degrading” and that the mother had acted recklessly by broadcasting the incident for online attention. “It’s a little girl who thinks she’s going to bake an apple cake with her mom… then all of a sudden, she gets an egg cracked in her forehead,” Andersson said. “This is a reckless act.”
Despite defending herself in court by saying she was simply joining in on a viral trend—“Everyone was doing it,” she claimed—the court did not accept the justification. The case has sparked renewed discussions around the ethical boundaries of online content involving children, especially when it involves public humiliation for the sake of social media virality.
The incident serves as a cautionary tale for parents and content creators alike, highlighting the real-world consequences of participating in online trends without considering the potential legal and emotional impact.
