Obviously no one’s actually died from it like people are suggesting, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there actually are several of those videos on YouTube now... I don't want to look too far into it, but according to these articles kids have been committing suicide over whatever they saw https://www.khaleejtimes.com/international/philippines/11-year-old-boy-commits-suicide-after-playing-momo-game-- https://metro.co.uk/2018/09/03/girl-12-and-boy-16-kill-themselves-playing-momo-suicide-game-7909267/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6926762/what-momo-suicide-game-whatsapp-deaths-uk-parents-number/ https://mtonews.com/new-momo-challenge-on-youtube-has-kids-committing-suicide Like a poem said by a neydy in red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t prove what it was saying, any harmful stuff, because she doesn’t remember, but she has seen it and I am controlling what she’s watching! other kids have seen it too and have nightmares because of it. 4 hours ago, Meredith Grey said: (Let me start by saying Allegedly*** since there is a lot of controversy over whether or not it’s real) the videos pop up in the middle of a kids video on YouTube and the challenge is never the same but Momo usually tries to scare the kids and then get them to do something dangerous like turning on a gas stove or self-harming. 4 hours ago, dynamite said: I've actually seen a bunch of posts online from parents saying their kid has come across it so I believe it is a thing, just not as widespread as the media is saying... 4 hours ago, lego said: They say youtube kids app (so not just normal youtube), fortnite and some others were hacked so they appear in the middle of game or program, of course youtube would deny any responsibility.. So I posted and article about this the other day on here. I also posted it to my facebook. When I did, I had several parents comment about how their kids were asking about it. My husband posted it to his news facebook page and parents also commented there about how their kid has seen it. I don't know that the challenge is real, but the character seems to be in random YouTube Kid videos and scaring children. I have heard my students talk about it and other teachers mention their students talking about it. If kids are talking about it, then it's out there. Maybe not in the way we think it is, but something is scaring our students and children. It's a good time to talk to children about internet safety. Parents need to monitor their children and make sure they are watching genuine videos. (For instance, it seems to have been put in unofficial videos of Peppa Pig, etc. and children would not know the difference of an official or unofficial video.) she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its name is not momo.. some idiot came up with a stupid joke and its gullible idiots that are taking it out of proportion.. Ill put it in a spoiler since it will trigger some. this is a source.. Its a ****ing art piece. The good though that it has done.. is make parents actually parent their kids media intake. Reveal hidden contents Oh of course the art itself is not doing anything, I mean the challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
