Momo challenge: YouTube and Instagram FAIL to take down horrific self-harm videos

The video prompts children to contact a fictional character named Momo by calling or texting strangers’ phone numbers. “Momo” then gives them dangerous challenges and sends horrifying messages. The challenges have been linked to two children’s deaths last year and are still available on YouTube and Instagram.Northern Ireland Police have reported they are leasing with other UK Police Services to identify the extent of the problem and hopefully deal with the issue.

Anyone not old enough to see this isn't real once their parents have explained shouldn't be on the internet unless supervised at all times.

This is really bad but not surprised sorry but electronic babysitters a bad idea any weirdo can get to kids and not just on the street but in your home
