Momo allegedly targets young children by encouraging them to text a number on WhatsApp, which then sends them instructions to complete a series of increasingly bizarre and dangerous tasks from watching a horror movie to engaging in self-harm to taking their own lives.
This game conceals itself within other harmless looking games played by our kids! There has also been reports of parts of the game being viewable on YouTube.
According to the video, those who texted “Momo’s” number were told to complete a series of bizarre and increasingly dangerous tasks, starting with something innocent, like watching a horror movie late at night, and ending with a call for kids to self-harm or take their own lives. Failure to complete the tasks apparently would result in their personal information being leaked or threats of violence.

Agreed. Then they'll justify it by saying "B..but the internet made me do it!" I bet if it had a 'Walk off a cliff because literally everyone else/all my friends are doing it!' challenge they would do it too. Nobody holding a gun to their head forcing them, stupidity just reigns supreme over social media and it outrank the regulars.
