Recently, many local people in my country are into monitoring their kids with regards to 'momo' app. A young boy died because of this app. He committed suicide based on what the tasks were given in the app icon. I haven't seen it and tried to filter my little niece mobile phone in downloading any apps. I had tried to check what does the app looks like and see how creepy it is. "Have you seen or know about this creepy app?" "Do you check your child's mobile phone from time to time?" Image Credit: i.ytimg.com

Wow. I didn't know if this was a hoax or not. I would hate to think a kid would be that gullible to kill themselves because an app said so that is sad

Some people claimed that it is a hoax. But I had seen some links on YouTube. It does exist. Thus, we still need to protect our kiddles against this app.

@FayeHazel I agree. I can't believe that some people seem evil from within and trying to affect others.

Aside from Apps, its now hiding in Youtube playlists for children. Youtube already addressed this problem. Momo is originally used for creepy pastas but the creators of Elsa gate took advantage. Yes the creator of Momo challenge is the creators of Elsagate videos.

I had seen some, too. Some of the creepy things are also embedded in Peppa pig video clippings. Things are totally different nowadays. I hope parents out there will be reminded and came across with this posted discussion.

@Shavkat Parents should not let Youtube babysit their kids.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I agree. But there some educational videos that are suitable for kids. The parents need to guide the kids.

I also noticed that. Some Disney cartoons are having this kind of implication. It is quite alarming now. That's the reason why parents need to be vigilant on this kind of concern.

Yes, I saw it on TV last night and it is very dangerous for the children to get hooked into it.

It was really a scary thing for kids to play this game. I do think that it would be hard to stop the creator of this.

Just the thought of it is very scary and ghoulish. This is a very alarming issue. I hate to say this, but some parents are just too engrossed on other things that they have neglected their children. Giving them gadgets is one way of showing less personal attention and less quality time.

I will not argue about it. Most of these parents escape their way of parenting their kids. Thus, modern gadgets are kids' nannies nowadays.

It is a good thing that they are not aware of this. My little niece is turning 8 this year. In some point, we need to let her watch educational videos on youtube. Now, we tend to be more strict because of this concern.

@Shavkat I agree on the fact that they (children) are allowed to seek for knowledge in YouTube once they're being supervised by a responsible adult, otherwise not letting them being on their own in the computer, and I agree with you on being more strict on supervising every single approach she has to technology at least for now.
