It is no secret that everybody knows the obnoxious, stupid, and dangerous Momo Challenge. This challenge is usually through forms of anonymous communication such as WhatsApp, Kik, etc. Unsuspecting children who may just be trying to explore, can wind up in a dangerous situation when the communication begins. The challenge revolves around doing harmful things, and this is not a good use of communication at all. The "Momo" monster is not even a real thing, it is a piece of horror art titled "Mother Bird". Yes, it can be very scary to kids, but parents need to educate their children on proper uses of social media apps, when it comes to safely communicating with others, NOT strangers!! It has since been proven that the terrifying challenge is a hoax. Although videos with mom in it did appear, the challenge itself was never a real thing. However it did spark lots of communication, buzz, and press about the seriousness of the topic. The internet is becoming a dangerous place, especially for kids. Knowing how fast challenges and things like this can spread, it was imperative we communicate safety when navigating the internet, especially to children.
