‘Momo challenge’ parents to monitor children act

The Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) on Tuesday issued an advisory against the ‘Momo challenge‘ and asked the parents to monitor their children’s online and social media activity to ensure they are not engaging in the game.

The ministry listed signs to look for in a child that might indicate their involvement in the game and asked the parents to “keep their eyes open”.

“Monitor your children’s online and social media activity to ensure they are not engaging with this challenge. Parents should take reports from child counsellor present in the school at regular intervals,” it read.
