Today in our classroom, some students shared about a disturbing social media challenge that encourages participants to do dangerous things called Momo. Some students comment they heard from older siblings or/and friends and tried to search it online. We had a open discussion about it, but without giving too many details or showing them pictures. The same thing happened in different classes.
The Momo Challenge involves participants receiving social media invitations on platforms like WhatsApp and Snapchat to message an account called Momo. The account is linked to an image of a doll with long black hair, large eyes and a scary-looking smile. In short, the messages ask kids to harm themselves.
Please also talk with your child about safety when using smartphones, tablets and other devices when using the internet. Nowadays, several games have online interfaces that allows gamers to play online with people they haven't meet. Below is a list I've discussed with all our students today.
