Schools have sent a letter out warning of the Momo challenge.
The Momo challenge is a Whatsap game that sends people messages challenging them to do things. If they don’t do the challenge the game says something bad will happen to them or their families. There are also reports of pop ups of Momo appearing on websites targeted at children and in children’s You Tube Videos.
The letter from schools says that a number of children in different year groups have been overheard talking about it. Some children have also spoken to their teachers saying they are frightened by it.
The safety message is that children will not be in trouble for showing adults anything that comes on their screen which could make them uncomfortable or upset. Schools will continue to reassure students.
Have your children be affected by this ?
