According to the public number “This is the United States”, in fact, at the beginning of this game is just a prank, and there is no need to go to the “death game” direction
First of all, this woman is not called Momo at all, she is actually a statue of “auntie bird”

According to the Huaxi Dushi Bao reported on July 31, the 12-year-old girl in Chengdu was suspected of being entangled in the “Blue Whale Game” and was scared to go online without using a mobile phone.
Chengdu 12-year-old girl Xiaoya, usually sleeping alone, but on the evening of July 24, she panicked and ran into the next room, to sleep with her mother. Under the parents’ questioning, Xiaoya said the truth. Two years ago, she clicked on a website called “Blue Whale” and saw a whale pattern on her arm and a blade…
Parents learned that in the school where the daughter was enrolled, other students chatted about the “blue whale”, which made her shudder. “They are all dolls in their teens. If they spread, it would be unimaginable.”
The reporter tried to communicate with Xiaoya on this matter. The following is the original ↓↓↓.
Reporter: How did you get into the blue whale game? Is your classmate involved?
小雅: Two years ago, I was on a game website, accidentally clicked in, and then saw a blue whale engraved on one arm, and some blades, and later I knew that it was a blue whale game. A female student once told me about the blue whale game. She said that the game is cruel and terrible. However, I can’t remember who this female classmate is
Reporter: Do you have a group? Has anyone contacted you and given you a task?
Xiaoya: No group, no one contacted me, no one gave me a task. I just clicked on the website two years ago. I probably looked at it and I didn’t play anymore. (After two years) Just this time I suddenly remembered the blue whale game, I felt very scared
Reporter: Do you know the dangers of the blue whale game?
Xiaoya: Later, I searched the Internet and participated in the blue whale game. I was very scared. I was afraid that they would come to the door and fear what happened. I am not online now, and the mobile phone is not used anymore
Generally speaking, people who join the Blue Whale game have self-harm, but Ms. Zhou said that she did not find scars on her daughter’s hands, but she also admitted that because the couple is too busy to work, too little communication with her daughter, usually Basically, the daughter is alone at home
Parent-child education expert and psychologist Tang Yinghong believes that: The main reason why teenagers are trapped in the blue whale game is that parents are not paying enough attention to their children Therefore, parents should communicate more with their children, understand their troubles, reduce their psychological burden, and eliminate emotional hazards in a timely manner. Blue whale games are group-based, and it is likely that other children are deeply involved, but parents still have not noticed. Only an alarm can save them”
Whether they are “blue whales” or “momo”, they are all children, and they also form “viral communication” among teenagers, because most children are hard to bear from their peers. People’s pressure, seeing others playing, they have to participate.
But not all things should be full of curiosity to challenge. You never know how many people who are curious about the cat waiting for you behind the screen. Evil… .
So parents, please note:
The “death game” can’t give children a real “liberation.”
But your true concern and love may be fine
