Overall, with all the opinions, facts, and stories that are out there; I do believe that the Momo challenge is not a hoax. Therefore, I think that my original news article is a legitimate piece of news. I think think because the stories that I read, kids are scared and why would kids make that up and attempt to hurt themselves and others, if they are scared of Momo? I do believe this is a real issue going around on YouTube. YouTube did make a statement regarding there is no proof, well in my original article, the special guest-says his opinion- but says how many YouTube editors were sitting around a table trying to think of that statement that was made to the public. When researching, I also saw a clip of the Momo face saying, “I am going to kill you”, so if this is just a hoax, then how does someone have proof of the Momo saying stuff in a recording? This is a controversial piece of information that is and has not yet calmed down, on the internet. In the end, I wish the hacker who is putting these in kid videos, wakes up and realizes the damage they are doing and put an end to this challenge.

This article provides tips and talking points for families. Some tips include; be hands-on, get proactive, stay informed, encourage critical thinking, know the apps, and monitor online communities. If this challenge is reaching the children of our generation, then the best way to prevent these terrible issues from happening is having your child be informed on what is going on and what to look for, and not being afraid to tell an adult.

Internet challenges have been going on for years. They can be fun and harmless, or they can be dim-witted and even deadly. The latest challenge referred to as the Momo challenge seemingly hits a whole new level of creepy but experts say there's little evidence the challenge is real.

What Is It?

To participate in the alleged challenge players using various apps or games are purportedly urged by a pop-up image of "Momo" to hurt themselves or others to avoid being cursed by the creature. (The creepy image of Momo is reportedly a half-girl-half-bird sculpture created by a Japanese artist unrelated to the game). Rumors allege the game ends with Momo encouraging participants to take their own lives and record it for social media.

Real or rumor?

Is the challenge real or a hoax? While several youth suicides around the world are rumored to be tied to the Momo game, none of the connections have been proven, according to both the Washington Post, Snopes, and other news sources.

Rumored or reality, one thing is for certain: The viral Momo story is creating a genuine panic and perceived threat among parents that requires an equally strategic response.

With devices in the hands of most kids by the time they are 10, the viral Momo challenge offers all of us a chance to stop, think, and connect with our kids specifically about digital content, peer pressure, and the danger of online challenges.

Talking Points for Families

Be hands-on. This story, while considered an internet myth, represents an opportunity to get even more hands-on with your digital parenting efforts. As silly, viral challenges like Momo arise (and there will be more), resolve to routinely monitor the content your kids engage with online. This includes apps, YouTube content, video games, TV shows online, and chat apps. Feel overwhelmed with monitoring? Consider getting a software program to be your eyes and ears online and help filter out risky content.

Get proactive. Depending on the age of your child, chances are if they've heard about the Momo game or seen the image, they could be frightened. Talk about the dangers of peer pressure, bullying, and online challenges. Make sure the conversation is two-way and includes your child's experiences and thoughts on the topic. Ask your child to come to you immediately if anyone or anything online ever makes them feel unsafe, afraid, or provoked.

Stay informed. Risky digital behaviors that affect kids, tweens, and teens make the headlines each week. Any parent in the know will tell you candidly that staying informed about online risk is a part-time job attached to parenting. Read blogs, set google alerts, listen to podcasts, and connect with experts online to stay informed. Other dangerous online challenges include the Bird Box Challenge and several others.

Encourage critical thinking. If your child blows off the potential seriousness of online stunts or games, encourage him or her to think a behavior through. Ask them: "Walk through each step of the stunt and tell me where you think things could go wrong." This will help your child personally determine if an activity is risky or not.

Know Those Apps! One of the biggest threats to a child's online safety is his or her choice in apps. Apps run the gamut of risk and range from educational and uplifting to inappropriate and dangerous. Go on your child's phone regularly and check for risky apps. Google the app and read app reviews. Look at age restrictions and customer reviews so you will be better equipped to evaluate whether an app may be suitable for your child. Dangerous apps include Kik Messenger, Ask.Fm, Tumblr, and any other social network that allows anonymous users.

Monitor online communities. Your kids have friends they bring home, but they also have friends online you will never meet face to face. Dig in and get curious. Look for apps such as WhatsApp or Kik that allow kids to chat with anyone, anywhere. Ask your kids to show you where they spend their time and the kind of people they choose to talk with. Remember: The direct message feature on favorite apps like Instagram and Snapchat are also ways kids connect with peers online.

The contour of our digital life evolves and expands every day. And, unfortunately, along with that growth will come people who attempt to cause harm or plant fear just for sport. Rather than respond with fear, consider approaching risks with a fresh determination to equip your family with the knowledge and tools it needs to thrive and stay safe in this ever-changing digital terrain.

Alleged 'Momo Challenge' Reminds Parents to Monitor Online Content | McAfee Blogs

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Editor's Note: This blog post includes disturbing content and mentions of suicide. Internet challenges have been going on for years. They can be fun and The latest online challenge, the Momo challenge, has seemingly hit a whole new level of sinister that has law enforcement stepping in to alert parents.

# data[].attributes.body
This article suggest ways to stay safe online include: educating yourself, inform your kids with the facts, lead with personal experience, eliminate the treat, and stay in the loop.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's back. The sick Momo Challenge that we first warned parents about back in August is making MAJOR headlines this week as new reports surface of the suicide "game" infiltrating popular children's platforms.

Months after the disturbing "game" first began circulating on WhatsApp, the Momo challenge has now reportedly made its way into children's YouTube videos, and it's hard to tell if your kids are safe.

Several parents have reported that their children have encountered the scary, and quite unsettling image of a woman with grotesque features, spliced into the videos and games they've trusted for their kids.

Hackers are getting more savvy and finding new ways to corrupt harmless videos that our kids watch. For instance, YouTube Kids videos like Peppa Pig start innocent, like any other episode. Then part of the way through, Momo appears on the screen and instructs kids to partake in heinous acts like harming themselves or their parents. "She" says that she knows personal things about the user and uses fear and threats to challenge the person watching.

"The Momo Challenge made it into my home."

A friend of mine asked me about the Momo challenge, knowing that on this website, we make it one of our missions to encourage parents to stay informed about emerging threats to their kids, and keep their young children off of social media .

She said that her 8-year-old son hadn't slept in two weeks, and she only just yesterday figured out that it was Momo.

Her son, like many of our children, loves YouTube Kids for videos of 8-year-olds playing baseball and Dude Perfect. But two weeks ago, something changed. All of a sudden, her 8-year-old was very scared, unable to be in his room alone and deathly afraid of the dark.

My friend and her husband bought night lights and flashlights and even slept in his bed with him until he fell asleep. "The last two weeks have been like having a newborn," she said.

They pressed their son for information, trying to figure out why he was having such trouble, and why he wouldn't tell them what was wrong.

One of the threats that Momo makes is that if you tell your parents about the challenge, that horrifying looking THING will kill your family.

Terrified, this little boy said nothing. For a whole week, he took consequences and frustrated questions from his parents until he finally said, "I saw something on YouTube Kids."

That was it. No other info, no other insight.

So like any parent would, my friends checked their son's YouTube Kids search history: Dude Perfect and kids playing baseball. Nothing alarming, nothing out of the ordinary, and surely nothing to turn a fun-loving kid squirrelly.

Still, they took away his computer, and disciplined him for whatever it is that he had watched and wouldn't tell them about.

Imagine my girlfriend's horror when she realized yesterday that her son has literally been fearing for her life ever since this disgusting character unexpectedly interrupted something he enjoys, and threatened to kill his parents if he told them!

The sight of it is enough to make me shudder. I've literally put off writing this article because as a GROWN ADULT WOMAN, I can't look at that thing. Imagine it popping up unexpectedly in the middle of a video. Poor kid.

She asked how to address it with him now that two weeks later, it seems like the scare has somewhat passed. He finally slept in his room the whole night through, and he hasn't yet told them that it was in fact, Momo.
We can't afford not to talk about it.
Parents, we have to stay vigilant. We have to stay ahead of the trends, and we have to educate our children before someone else, like this skewed version of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" has the chance to influence them.

Here are 5 ways to talk to your kids about the Momo Challenge.

1. Educate yourself.

When it comes to talking with your kids about the Momo Challenge or any other ridiculous thing that makes its way around the internet, it's important to educate yourself first. Know what it is that your child is fearing, and understand what it is you're up against. In this case, my friend had no idea what her kid had seen, or why he would be worried to tell her about it. But in simply knowing information about the challenge, and the threats her child may be fearing, she has a foundation to start a conversation on.

2. Inform your kids with the facts.

Whether your kids have already come across Momo or not, it's important to shoot it straight with them as soon as you know about it (and future "challenges" as they emerge). My friend's son has only suffered from two scary weeks of no sleep, but as reports would have it, the circumstance could have been much worse.

The disturbing game has recently been linked to the death of a 13-year-old boy in Belgium who hanged himself and a 12-year-old girl in Argentina who was convinced she had to sacrifice her life for her brother.

Other countries where the challenge has been reported since last year include the United States, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, Spain, Scotland, Colombia, India, and Pakistan. Over 130 teen deaths have been reported in Russia alone.

Talk to your kids early, and don't be afraid to bring it up with them, because chances are, they are not going to bring it up with you.

3. Lead with personal experience.

Y'all, I remember back in my elementary school days before social media was ever even a thought, all of my friends and I had email addresses. We'd send each other goofy pictures and chain emails. And I remember the first time I ever got a chain email that said, "pass this on or your family will die." I remember how scared I was, and how pressured I felt to literally save my family. But then I talked to my mom who was able to comfort me, and reassure me that we were safe, and explain to me that it was not real.

Sometimes sharing those personal stories with our own kids is a great tool for getting them to open up about the fear that's building up inside of them. It's important that our personal stories don't scare our kids further, but rather, reassure a sense of safety and TRUTH in a circumstance where they feel threatened, scared and worried.

Use discernment, but know that sometimes our kids aren't going to come right out and tell us what they're wrestling with. It's opportunities like these when we can humble ourselves and get on their level that will be the most comforting to them.

4. Eliminate the threat.

Parents, spring is almost sprung and there's no greater time to get our kids off of their tablets and back outside. The best way to combat the threat that is Momo, is to keep our kids off of the platforms that it's infiltrating. We can monitor and check all we want, but as we've now seen so many times with this challenge, it's not just visibly out there for parents to block. So unless you're watching every single YouTube Kids video alongside your child, there's no way to guarantee that they're protected.

5. Stay in the loop.

The world of social media is ever-changing and forever presenting new, insane threats to the well-being of our kids. Stay in the loop. Follow trusted websites that commit themselves to equipping parents, and keep your kids ahead of the trends.

This articles title is, “Momo is Not trying to kill children. Like eating Tide Pods and snorting condoms, the Momo challenge is a viral hoax.” This author talks about how one person added something on twitter telling them to inform everyone you can on this Momo Challenge, and its spread like wildfire across the Internet. The article says, “The Momo challenge wasn’t real then, and it isn’t real now. YouTube confirmed that, contrary to press reports, it hasn’t seen any evidence of videos showing or promoting the “Momo challenge” on its platform. If the videos did exist, a spokesperson for YouTube said, they would be removed instantly for violating the platform’s policies. Additionally, there have been zero corroborated reports of any child ever taking his or her own life after participating in this phony challenge.”. Although, these children made not have committed suicide, they are still attempting to hurt themselves and others. Even in the title it mentions that it’s a hoax just like eating tide pods and snorting condoms, but I am confused because I have SEEN videos on YouTube of kids/teens doing these challenges? So how can they still say those challenges, along with the Momo challenge, is a “hoax”?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Like eating Tide Pods and snorting condoms, the Momo challenge is a viral hoax.

On Tuesday afternoon, a Twitter user going by the name of Wanda Maximoff whipped out her iPhone and posted a terrifying message to parents.

"Warning! Please read, this is real," she tweeted. "There is a thing called 'Momo' that's instructing kids to kill themselves," the attached screenshot of a Facebook post reads. "INFORM EVERYONE YOU CAN."

Maximoff's plea has been retweeted more than 22,000 times, and the screenshot, featuring the creepy face of "Momo," has spread like wildfire across the internet. Local news hopped on the story Wednesday, amplifying it to millions of terrified parents. Kim Kardashian even posted a warning about the so-called Momo challenge to her 129 million Instagram followers.

To any concerned parents reading this: Do not worry. The "Momo challenge" is a recurring viral hoax that has been perpetuated by local news stations and scared parents around the world. This entire cycle of shock, terror, and outrage about Momo even took place before, less than a year ago: Last summer, local news outlets across the country reported that the Momo challenge was spreading among teens via WhatsApp. Previously, rumors about the challenge spread throughout Latin America and Spanish-speaking countries.

The Momo challenge wasn't real then, and it isn't real now. YouTube confirmed that, contrary to press reports, it hasn't seen any evidence of videos showing or promoting the "Momo challenge" on its platform. If the videos did exist, a spokesperson for YouTube said, they would be removed instantly for violating the platform's policies. Additionally, there have been zero corroborated reports of any child ever taking his or her own life after participating in this phony challenge.

A lot of this relies on people believing their local school or police force knows what they're talking about when it comes to the internet. Unfortunately most don't have a clue and are sending letters to parents warning of non-existent issues like YouTube videos being "hacked".
- Jim Waterson (@jimwaterson) February 28, 2019

"Momo" itself is an innocuous sculpture created by the artist Keisuke Aisawa for the Japanese special-effects company Link Factory. The real title of the artwork is Mother Bird, and it was on display at Tokyo's horror-art Vanilla Gallery back in 2016. After some Instagram photos of the exhibit were posted to the subreddit Creepy, it spread, and the "Momo challenge" urban legend was born.

For parents today, it can seem like the internet has endless ways of trying to kill your children or persuading your children to kill themselves. The so-called Blue Whale challenge supposedly asked kids to complete a series of tasks that culminated in suicide. The trend later turned out to be a hoax. Local news has warned about recent "crazes" like teens eating toxic Tide Pods ( they weren't), or potentially choking to death while snorting condoms for YouTube views (no deaths have been reported). Even the cinnamon challenge could supposedly kill you.
[Read: How deadly is a spoonful of cinnamon?]
All of these challenges and trends follow the same formula: A local news station runs a piece overstating a dangerous teen trend. Concerned parents flock to social media to spread the word. Actual teenagers and anyone else who lives their life Extremely Online mock them for their naïveté. Brands and influencers hop on the trend, parodying it and exploiting it for their own gain. And trolls take advantage of those who believe it's real, often by creating and posting content that seemingly confirms parents' worst fears. SNL brilliantly parodied this cycle in 2010. Since then, it has only gotten worse.

These trends are "part of a moral panic, fueled by parents' fears in wanting to know what their kids are up to," Benjamin Radford, a folklorist and research fellow at the Committee for Skeptic Inquiry, told Rolling Stone. And spreading them can actually end up causing harm. "These stories being highly publicized, and starting a panic means vulnerable people get to know about it and that creates a risk," the U.K.-based suicide-awareness charity Samaritans told The Guardian. Some kids can also end up hurting themselves by participating in the trend ironically.

Parents have always felt out of touch with younger generations, but smartphones have seemingly widened that gulf. Sixty percent of teens have created accounts for apps or social-media sites without their parents' knowledge, according to a 2016 study by the National Cyber Security Alliance. And only 13 percent of teenagers believed their parents "understood the extent of their internet use." That gap in understanding has allowed this very specific type of misinformation to flourish.

Worried parents share these hoax stories relentlessly on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. They beg the platforms themselves to do something to fix the mess. Many parents believe that spreading awareness about the latest dangerous craze will help kids stay safe, but they could very well be doing the opposite.

The problem is, these stories are only ever a distraction. They offer false reassurance and an easy fix to the wrong problem. If you can protect your child from the Momo challenge, the thinking goes, you can protect them from bad things on the internet. Unfortunately, maintaining kids' safety online is a much more complicated and delicate task. "This whole 'Momo is making kids commit suicide' is a digital version of playing Beatles records backwards to hear Satanic messages," says Ben Collins, a journalist who covers misinformation. "It does a real disservice to all the harmful stuff targeting children and teens on YouTube."

What many parents miss is that the platforms themselves often perpetuate harm. Their automated moderation systems fail to flag inappropriate content. Their skewed content-recommendation algorithms promote extremist beliefs. They don't protect kids against cyberbullying from peers, they milk kids under the age of 13 for money and engagement, and they promote truly gruesome content.

The internet is profoundly changing kids' lives in ways that we have yet to understand, and it makes sense that parents want to keep their children safe. But "Momo" isn't what they need protection from.

March 1
If you're a parent of a young child, chances are that someone on Facebook has sent you an alarming post about the "Momo challenge," a game illustrated by a disturbing photograph of a woman, in which participants are blackmailed into completing increasingly dangerous tasks. Maybe that post says that Momo is the latest "trend."

Momo was perfectly tuned to set off alarms in the mind of any parent: There's something online that you don't know about, and it's about to kill or traumatize your child. Just one problem: There's little evidence to confirm that the Momo challenge is real. Although multiple deaths are often attributed to the challenge in warnings about it, none has been confirmed.

The panic over Momo followed a familiar pattern established by other supposedly viral "challenges" - the condom challenge and Tide pod challenge, for example - that caused a lot of hand-wringing but few, if any, documented injuries. The viral spread of this kind of story may say less about the danger these challenges pose to young people and more about the fear that the Internet inspires in parents.
[The 'Momo Challenge': A sinister threat to young people or an urban myth?]
On Feb. 17, a parent anonymously sent in a warning about the Momo challenge to a Facebook group for the town of Westhoughton, England. "I'm deeply alarmed I have discovered when I collected [my kid] today ... the teacher asked to talk to me. She said [my kid] had made three kids cry by telling them that 'Momo was going to go into their room at night and kill them.'" The post contained a description of the challenge and urged other parents in town to talk to their kids about bad people online.

That post soon became an article in a local paper. It was then picked up by national tabloids like the Daily Mail and Daily Star. Many of those reports focus on a particularly dark detail from the legend of the challenge: that its ultimate goal is to persuade participants to kill themselves on camera. "Suicide game hits Britain," read one of the Star's headlines.

As word of the Momo challenge spread, the Mail followed up with stories advising parents on how to handle it.

As local police stations and parents began picking up on the viral warnings and issuing their own, more legitimate outlets like the BBC also jumped into the fray. And then, the warnings spread to America. A Florida news station claimed Momo was "the latest trend on social media." Kim Kardashian shared one of the posts going viral that warned about it.

Whatever their intention, the person who put up the anonymous Westhoughton Facebook post set off a chain of events that made warnings about the Momo challenge go viral - even if there's little evidence to suggest that the disturbing prank is popular at all among the kids that concerned parents are now rushing to protect. As New York Magazine wrote in an examination of the latest panic, it's "a little strange that we're once again talking about Momo in 2019. Strange, but given the way the web works, not that surprising."

Momo has spread online not as a viral threat to children, but as a panic-induced news topic about a perceived viral threat to children. And like many viral challenges, Momo has spread on kernels of truth about the real dangers of the Internet for young children, appended to a repeated pattern of bad reporting on dangerous viral trends targeting children - which often turn out to be not trending at all.

Last year, a viral panic about the condom challenge spread through Parent Internet, warning about a "trend" encouraging kids to snort a condom up their nose and pull it out of their mouths to get views on social media. The Post traced the origins of that story, which generated headlines across the country, to a presentation attended by a small group of San Antonio parents in March 2018.

The presentation mentioned the condom challenge as an example of a dangerous viral teen challenge. Educators in San Antonio gave the same presentations for years. But on this date, a local news crew was present. Their report on the presentation was then aggregated by news outlets across the country, who focused in on the condom challenge and deemed it " every parent's worst nightmare," " the latest dangerous social media trend" and "trending" among teens.
[The condom challenge wasn't the latest teen craze. Here's how it went viral anyway.]
It wasn't trending. Instead, The condom challenge was briefly popular on YouTube in 2013, thanks to a couple viral videos of people attempting it. The Post found no evidence that anyone on YouTube had tried the challenge for years. Instead, search results were full of videos warning about it. The same pattern has been repeated with the Tide pod challenge, the deodorant challenge and, to some extent, the Bird Box challenge.

Momo is similar: It is true that an extremely creepy image of a woman with bulging eyes and black hair has become a modern monster of online culture, one that has been in and out of the news cycle as reports and warnings pop up about the challenge. But the details that bolster its legend as something parents should be worried about don't hold up. As The Post reported in September, when the challenge previously made the news, three deaths are often attributed to the challenge, but none of those reports has a proven connection.

Another warning, posted first to Facebook and then reposted to Twitter (where it has tens of thousands of retweets) claims that videos showing Momo are rampant on YouTube and YouTube Kids: "It doesn't come on instantly so it's almost as if it waits for you to leave the room then comes on in mid show. It's been seen on Peppa Pig, LOL DOLL, those surprise eggs, and a few others." But when The Post attempted to find any of these videos, we came up short. Instead, several popular YouTube videos warned about the possibility of a Momo scare in videos targeting kids. In others promising to show "proof" the rumors were real, the proof was often less than convincing.

But this warning, too, feeds off real concerns about what children are exposed to on YouTube. The Post reported earlier this week on parents who were finding disturbing, violent clips spliced into videos targeted to children on the platform. But there's no evidence that Momo videos trying to trick children into self harm are viral on YouTube or YouTube Kids. If they exist at all, they're extremely hard to find. In a statement, YouTube also denied that Momo was spreading across their platform.
[A pediatrician exposes suicide tips for children hidden in videos on YouTube and YouTube Kids]
"After much review, we've seen no recent evidence of videos promoting the Momo Challenge on YouTube," the statement reads. "Videos encouraging harmful and dangerous challenges are clearly against our policies, the Momo challenge included. Despite press reports of this challenge surfacing, we haven't had any recent links flagged or shared with us from YouTube that violate our Community Guidelines."

YouTube also announced that it would demonetize (or prohibit ads on) all videos about the Momo Challenge, including those from news organizations and YouTube creators commenting on the spread of the panic, the Verge reported.

As the Guardian noted, one of the more disturbing things about Momo's viral spread as a warning to parents is the seriousness of the underlying topic of suicide. Samaritans, a Britain-based suicide prevention organization, told the Guardian that they were concerned all the coverage of the Momo challenge was "raising the risk of harm" for vulnerable people. "These stories being highly publicised and starting a panic means vulnerable people get to know about it and that creates a risk."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, risk factors associated with suicide may include mental disorders such as clinical depression, previous suicide attempts, a barrier to accessing mental health treatment, physical illness and feelings of hopelessness or isolation. Those who need help, including children, can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.
