Police issue warning as new Facebook craze claims teen victim

One of the people takes part in the new craze

Police warn people about a new Facebook craze that could cost more lives after a teenager drowned riding his bike into the water.

This craze is known as A l’eau ou au resto - into the water or to the restaurant. It involves people daring each other to hurl themselves into the water fully clothed or pay for a meal at a restaurant.
It has already claimed its first victim - a 19-year-old boy who rode his bike off the edge of the quayside in Beganne, France, drowned while being filmed by a friend.
Police said on Facebook: “Don’t be influenced by a stupid phenomenon of the moment.”

Videos of people taking part in the dare have already been posted on YouTube featuring  a young man who swigs from a bottle of beer before riding a bike down a ramp and into the canal.
In another, a woman is seen tottering on the water’s edge in high heels.
As she goes to jump she loses her footing and bangs her legs on the edge of the boards she is trying to dive off.

R. Kelly's daughter comes out as transgender boy

R. Kelly's 14-year-old daughter—born as Jaya— has revealed that he is female-to-male transgender and living as a boy. He said that he is not close to his father and they have not spoken about his announcement

He has also changed his name to 'Jay'.

Jay made the announcement on his social media pages over the weekend.

Responding to questions on his Ask.fm profile, Jay explained that although he was born biologically female, he has identified as a male since he was '6 or 7' and that his mother has known for a year.

His mom Andrea Kelly, the singer's ex-wife and star of reality series 'Hollywood Exes', has been supportive of his transition.








'My mom was like, "Baby, you know I love you if you were bi, gay, lesbian, you name it and I would still love you so much",' he wrote.

'She was very proud of me, I was like, "Thank you mom for accepting the fact that I'm a transgender".'

'And same with my sister, she told me that she was proud of me, and respects me by calling me handsome and calling me her little brother now, and I love her for that, so you know it was great for me.'

He added that he is eager to undergo the gender realignment operations but that he knows he'll have to wait for several years.

'I believe I am a boy and want surgery, and the medication to help me (be) who I was supposed to be,' he wrote.

From a very young age he knew he did not want to be a girl, wear dresses, grow his hair long or have breasts or female sexual organs, he explained on Ask.fm.

Aged 11, 'I would look up like boy changes to girl, and girl changes to boy, and im like wow, theres people who feel EXACTLY the way i feel and then i knew like thats what transgender is,' he wrote.


He added that he was about six when he knew he was attracted to girls - but he has no plans to date any just yet, adding: 'I've got a lot on my plate right now.'





His father, R. Kelly has not yet publicly commented on the teen's announcement, but Jay revealed on Ask.fm that he and his sister are not close to the singer, even though their older brother is.

He added: 'I absolutely love my mother... and yea my dad has not reached out.'

R. Kelly divorced Jay's mother, who had been his former backup dancer, in 2009 after almost 13 years of marriage.
