-My Facebook friend shared a link previously, so that is where I got my idea from. However, I found my own news article online at Fox News. The author of this article is: Madeline Farber and James Rogers]]> 2019-03-01 22:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058752 sfink11 https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058753 My Facebook friend shared this article because she has a daughter who enjoys watching YouTube videos. This Momo character appears while watching kid videos, such like Peppa Pig. ]]> 2019-03-01 22:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058753 sfink11 https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058754 The public is trying to decide if the Momo challenge is real or if it just a hoax.]]> 2019-03-01 22:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058754 sfink11 https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058756 There are articles of the kids who have been a victim of this challenge and parents are trying to warn each other of these dangers.]]> 2019-03-01 22:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058756 sfink11 https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058757 The big debate is if its real or if it is a hoax.]]> 2019-03-01 22:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058757 sfink11 https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058758 YouTube made a statement about the challenge saying that there is no proof that this challenge is even happening and asking viewers to flag the video if they happen to see Momo on their video. But, my question is, why are there articles about children talking about Momo and doing dangerous stuff telling their parents, "Momo made me do it."]]> 2019-03-01 22:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058758 sfink11 https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058759 2019-03-01 22:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058759 sfink11 https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058760 This mom believes that the Momo is real. The mom and daughter are being interviewed from CBS News and the mom is talking about how her autistic daughter sen this Momo character and this character told the daughter to turn on the gas stove without lighting it-while her mom was sleeping. If Momo wasn't real, then how did this 15 year old girl, suddenly start talking about a "Momo", and turn on the stove while her mom was sleeping? ]]> 2019-03-01 22:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058760 sfink11 https://padlet.com/sfink11/ll24x20a59ux/wish/337058761 This article does confirm that the Momo challenge is on YouTube, however, it does not have any proof that Momo is telling them to complete these harmful acts to their selves or others. This is the first time I seen in an article mention anything about mental health and for those who need help, including children, can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. (I LOVE THIS IDEA)

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”?

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.

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.
