It receives the name of "Momo Challenge" and the authorities describe it as "very dangerous". Now, UK schools are warning parents that this challenge may appear in Peppa Pig and Fornite videos, mainly on YouTube.

This is a contest that was popularized last summer among the younger users of WhatsApp. Momo asks her participants to contact her and follow a series of tests, some of which are self-injurious practices. He was compared to the game of "Blue Whale", another game born in the network and linked to the death of at least 130 people.

After alerting videos posted on YouTube presented by the Haslingden Elementary School in Rossendale, near Blackburn, the website stated that he had not received any indication of the challenge in his space. However, the British school has warned parents in a statement on their Facebook page.

"We are increasingly aware of the existence of very inappropriate videos that circulate online and that children watch throughout the school. These video clips appear on many social media sites and on YouTube. One of the videos begins innocently, as the beginning of an episode of Peppa Pig for example, but it quickly becomes a version altered with violence and vulgar language, "says the post.

And they warn about the seriousness of the situation: "Among the examples we observed at school, children are especially asked to turn on the gas or to look for and take medicine." The Police Service of Northern Ireland echoed the news and Detective Sergeant Elaine McCormill warned: "Although no official report has been forthcoming submitted to the police, we are aware of the challenge called Momo put in touch with other British police services to try to pin down the magnitude of the problem. "

Momo's profile has a face inspired by the clbadics of horror film of recent years. Eyes out of their sockets, a disturbing smile and long hair that accentuate the thinness of her face. National Online Safety also posted a tweet at the end of February advising parents on the safety of their children.
