As you are probably aware there is wide spread publicity about the MOMO challenge. It has been around for a while however it has recently resurfaced and is coming to the attention of our children and young people.
The MOMO challenge instructs individuals, via social media, to carry out dangerous tasks, and has been heavily linked with apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, and most recently (and most worryingly)... YouTube Kids.
Please be aware of your child’s online activity, ensure their devices are set up safely and encourage them to report any online activity that worries or upsets them.
Advice for parents and carers can be found on the following websites:
