The Women and Child Development (WCD) Ministry has issued an advisory for parents who doubt their children are being tempted by the deadly internet suicide game, the Momo challenge.
The Momo challenge is an online suicide game like the ‘Blue Whale Game‘ where participants receive instructions from an anonymous sender over the internet. They are then asked to perform whatever directions they are given, the last one is to take their own life in order to complete the challenge.
Earlier this year, the Momo challenge allegedly claimed two lives in West Bengal’s Darjeeling district. While one of the victims was an 18-year-old boy, the other was a girl aged 26.
