Well, after reading a post here on Virily about the Momo Challenge, I’ve done some research online about it. There is this Malaysian Youtuber who is rather enraged by the whole Momo Challenge because it has taken at least 3 young lives.
And from his videos, he mentioned a few things he found out about the Challenge. I’ll be translating them here for you.
1) Momo Challenge or “Momo” can interrupt your videos – say you’re watching a Cartoon on Youtube, Momo can sudden “pop” on screen (either singing a threatening song or calling you)… this is not some supernatural phenomenon, but because the creators of Momo Challenge have hacked into some of the popular Youtube Channels/Videos and even games and apps!
2) Momo appears to know a lot about you – where you live, where you study or even your contacts. But that is because there are ways technology could do that! They could simply draws such information from your social media (or even you friends’)… if you ever download Momo’s photo as she requested, then your device could be hacked!
3) Do not respond to Momo at all! Just block and delete her! Don’t believe her threats no matter what she says…
4) Do not avoid talking about Momo just because its bad, educate the children so that they don’t fall for its tricks!

I don’t get why they created such a creepy unsettling character to lure children into following rules that lead to suicide (I guess it’s like the blue whale challenge).
It’s scary, therefore unproductive. Well, fortunately it is.
Thankfully, very few kids met the real monster and fell for it, I think it was mostly teens and adults trying to contact this thing and make fun of it. ?
Yes, thankfully only a few kids fall for such tricks …
but unfortunately some of them died… :/
I also don’t get why someone would want to do such things!
It’s quite sick
This information needs to get out, to help parents keep their children safe and sound. This is one horrible character.
Yes, horrible horrible character!
There is always a bad side to everything, including technological advancements. It is important to understand the tricks of such garbage and inform the children.
That’s true … nothing is just plain good or bad .. just that if the thing skew towards more bad or more good …
Yes, this is garbage! Sinister garbage!
and there are always those who throw garbage like that in public. Well, maybe there is an important lesson that can be taken from that.
Yes, but I sometimes don’t get it.. there had been such garbage previously … and they were punished… but still …
And yes, we’ll definitely learn something from these! Hopefully not the hard way. :/
It’s no good thing. Parents need to be very careful about what kids do online because some are very naive
Yes, and these people are evil to prey in these naivety.
I seen this last week and just had to look up videos on how she appears and them. I think it’s sickening that someone would put out things like this, but I also think that it could be a learning experience to test your children out based off of parenting.
Yes, I guess everything could become a learning experience for both parents and kids. I just wish the price to pay wasn’t that dearly.
It looks like parents are gonna have to start monitoring what kids watch nowadays. Might as well stick to the DVD’s and Blu-rays to help educate, instead of relying on YouTube videos.
I was happy to see that you posted this because I was very tempted to share an article on it
Maybe you should too … perhaps you’d post something I missed out!
And what a great suggestion about DVD and Blu-rays!! Then you can control the content! And maybe you comment will boost their sales too :p
And I’m sure that Momo’s ass is not on a DVD or Blu-Ray. If she is, then that is just poor parenting because the parents should of never bought it in the first place.
I have read this is a hoax, but parents still need to be cautious of what their children are doing online.
Yes, kids are easily influenced.
With the tactics Momo used … I would guessed many children would be too afraid to decline or tell their parents. That’s why tragedies happened.
:/
I really don’t dwell to these challenges. but that’s one heck of a scare eh.
Yes, it’s quite disturbing.
I can imagine those who are afraid of supernatural stuffs to just fall into this, even as a teenager or adult …
yes, that’s the right word disturbing.
Come on mavic, let’s do the momo challenge
are you crazy, maybe when we are together.
Hehe just kidding. That little thing gives me the creeps every time I look at
exactly, really weird.
