  • The Momo Challenge
    the Momo Challenge Momo Is A No No The Momo Challenge has recently dominated headlines not once, but twice—first because it was supposedly linked to a 12-year-old’s suicide in Buenos Aires, then more recently because it allegedly began popping up in children’s videos online. But the second time, it became more complicated: Was it an actual challenge scaring children into harming themselves and others? Or was it made up in order to increase page views and interactions on social media? This confusion only added to the chaos, with concerned parents unsure who to believe or what to do. On the one hand, if it isn’t fabricated, then they want to talk to their kids about it ASAP, as well as take measures to ensure they never fall prey to it. But on the other hand, if it is indeed false, then they don’t want to needlessly scare their kids or add to the pandemonium. This Guide seeks to wade through all the information currently available to help you make sense of the whole debacle and offers practical ways to address it with your children and teenagers. What is it exactly? It’s an online challenge that targets teens, tweens, and even younger children (via snippets in YouTube Kids videos) and encourages them to contact an unknown person called Momo (represented by a woman with a gaunt face, bulging eyes, and creepy smile) via WhatsApp or Facebook primarily (though any other platform with messaging capabilities can also be used). The account then sends them violent/graphic images and texts, telling them to engage in various “challenges, which start out small and strange, then escalate to harming themselves and others, possibly culminating in the final challenge of committing suicide.
