I just plain don't believe this. First, the blood circulation being cut off with a fake piercing would be so minimal it's not funny. Second, women have been wearing clamp-on earrings for millennia with no sign of problems. Third, unless these kids are managing to find some pretty heavy duty industrial-grade (but out of necessity very small) magnets, it is highly doubtful they could clamp any of their internals together especially with such strength as to cause perforations.

As part of a previous job I was required to buy these sort of super-strong magnets and they cost a hell of a lot of money. I think someone is creating 'news' just to sell papers.
