Momo


Feb 28, 2019, 10:00 AM

Anybody with kids heard of this thing?

Well I hadn't until yesterday. Wife texts me from work a picture of "Momo" and asked me to show it to my 6 year old daughter and 7 year old son. Being the obedient husband that I am, I showed them while we were eating dinner at a Mexican restaurant.

Daughter says, "oh yeah, that's from youtube. It's supposed to be scary, but I think it just looks dumb and fake.".

Son turns white as a sheet and starts crying. He is totally freaked out and won't talk about it. VERY uncharacteristic for him.

Apparently this thing tells you that if you tell your parents about it, bad stuff will happen...

I can't convince him that it's fake. Daughter, on the other hand, shrugged it off and pays it no attention.

It's crazy how two siblings can be so different. Also, this thing looks freaky as crap.

and those challenges keep getting riskier and riskier, so that you can 'meet momo'...to the point of nearing suicide (I think there actually might have been some, but not sure)

Still, made it my usericon just because it's so freaking creepy.

I keep an eye on what my kids access and watch on you tube, but if it's mixed into a video about making slime (daughter-of loves making slime), htf am i going to pick that up?!?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Same here.


Feb 28, 2019, 10:13 AM

Son just watches gaming videos which are fairly benign.

Daughter watches slime videos, product reviews for candy and dumb stuff like that and "how to" videos for common household chores. She's strange.

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!


Its so stupid.... but whatever floats his boat.***

Like I said, I flashed it in front of my daughter and she said, "oh yea, I've seen that thing in Youtube videos".

She doesn't get on facebook or read BBC, as far as I know.

Yep. I read about it and failed to comprehend how


Feb 28, 2019, 11:04 AM

a kid could fall for that. Then I thought well maybe a very young kid. Then I relaxed realizing my 10yo doesn't even have a cell phone, pad, and has a PC with no chatting. Second, he's excellent at spotting BS. 5yo can't work the TV remote, so we're good. This may be a problem for all the parents who buy their 10yo or 6yo a pad or phone and leaves them playing it hours a day alone.

Side note - That's one of the creepiest pics I've ever seen on the internet. Wife sent me that at 10pm last night, right before bed.

Feb 28, 2019, 1:18 PM

videos, where are the youtube videos it appears in?

All of the news articles I keep seeing might have a screenshot, or just the picture you posted, but where are the videos?

Not saying it's not a thing, but for something that's supposedly so widespread, you'd think there'd be more evidence.

I could have sworn hearing about it years ago, but apparently it's just from last year? It's similar to the slenderman meme that messed with kids a few years back, I think.
