It is an impressive way to let go of the scare for a moment. Well done social media! However, the threat still exists and not just with viral Momo challenge but many other games online that encourage kids to engage in some harmful activities. The parents are advised to keep a vigilant eye on their children to keep them safe. We only hope that Momo challenge fades away soon and we are just left with some wholesome Momo memes.
