Momo on Whatsapp kills a girl in Argentina and vows more!
Child games are increasing and are not supposed to be available as entertainment apps available on Google Play and AppStore for download, but many of them are the style and art of pushing the other towards suicide, and that is easier with children and emerging groups these days.
A few days ago I wrote about Momo's game, warning her, and I did not rule out that it would lead to later casualties and that children were at the forefront of those affected.
The game is done with a single communication platform, namely Whatsapp, owned by Facebook, which is being pursued by numerous charges about children and violating their innocence and childhood.
But parents also bear the greatest responsibility for leaving their children on their smart machines without any control, limits or rules, to withstand any wave that comes easily.
The first victim of the game Momo in the world
Argentinian media reported that a 12-year-old Argentine girl killed herself, and the police found talks with Momo at her expense in Whatsapp.
The game has been spreading in recent weeks and there are more than one contact person currently putting this person's name and nickname Momo and is now from countries other than Japan, including Colombia, Mexico and even the United States of America.
This is the first recorded case of a person killed because of this game, and it appears that the Argentine girl was shocked by the conversations and threats and perhaps the size of information that you know about that character, and found only one solution is to kill itself.
So far we have not seen more similar cases, but this issue is currently a popular theme among adolescents and emerging groups.
Warning for children using Whatsapp
Police in several countries have expressed concern about Momo, a "blue whale challenge" that has claimed the lives of 130 people in Russia and dozens of people around the world, including Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and Saudi Arabia.
Internet experts warn parents not to allow their children to use Watsab and adult chat applications. Many of these services provide a service account without age assurance.
It is known that various chat applications contain risks other than games such as threats, sexual harassment and child exploitation.
New information about Momo game
According to the computer crimes investigation unit in the Mexican state of Tabasco, the game began on Facebook group where they "challenged" each other's members to contact an unknown number.
Newspapers and news sources quoted many users as saying that Momo sent them violent pictures and the players were threatened if they refused to follow the game's "orders".
The image used by Momo is a picture of a woman with rude features and swollen eyes taken from the work of Japanese artist Midori Hayashi, who is not connected to the game in any way.
Buenos Aires police have linked the game to the death of a 12-year-old girl who took her life and issued a warning to parents, the Buenos Aires Times reported.
Police in the country are currently conducting an investigation into the finding of a teenager or young man who has exchanged messages with him on her device.
Momo is now in Mexico, Argentina, the United States, France and Germany, and there is growing talk about it in various countries, including the Arab world.
Rodrigo Nejm of the Brazilian non-governmental organization Safernet told the BBC it was unclear how widespread the game was, but claimed it was probably a kind of "bait" used by criminals to steal data and blackmail people online.
But it is strange that the messages we received do not include any links or files that would help infiltrate the victim's device.
While it is now confirmed that there are many people around the world who impersonate Momo's identity and practice the same policy, some have been tracked from countries other than Japan, including Colombia and Mexico.
