A message from www.esafety-adviser.com regarding a current internet hoax that may be of concern (we will be posting DITTO magazine as soon as we receive it with more information):
“I've had a number of emails from schools over the past couple of days regarding the Momo challenge. Momo is essentially a hoax, but it is so horrific it's sensationalised by the media and parents are understandably spreading cautionary advice, which unfortunately does nothing more than fuel the hoax further so that it goes round and round in a never-ending spiral, akin to other so-called challenges such as Blue Whale.
Naturally, some children are going to be frightened by what they see, yet this hoax is spreading so far and wide due to the sensationalism that more and more children are seeing it.
Remember, this is a hoax. You can find more information using the link below:
