Door Kicking Is Not Harmless

We’ve received multiple 911 calls in several neighborhoods involving individuals kicking or pounding on front doors before running away. Some people refer to this as the “Door Kick Challenge” or “Ding D**g Ditching,” but what we’re seeing goes beyond simply ringing a doorbell.

When someone forcefully hits a door, especially late at night or while wearing a mask, homeowners have no way of knowing who is outside or what their intent may be. That uncertainty can cause a homeowner to react violently, creating a very dangerous situation for everyone involved.

Parents, please talk with your children. Beyond the obvious dangers, this behavior can result in criminal charges.

For residents: Do not confront anyone at your door. Call 911 and allow deputies to respond.

Let’s stop a prank before someone gets hurt.

In Part 2 I explain the medical mechanisms behind how dehydration and low blood pressure during pregnancy can trigger uterine contractions. I discuss the role of antidiuretic hormone and prostaglandin production, compare different types of IV hydration (lactated ringers vs. normal saline), and share my personal experience receiving fluids in both hospital and outpatient settings to stop my contractions.
