Episode 19 “Momo Challenge?”

from The Better Mental Health Show · host Christopher Fasano, Ph.D.

Have you seen this viral topic circulating on social media and the news lately called the Momo Challenge? Apparently Momo is a devilish figure that appears spliced into children's shows on YouTube that encourages kids to harm themselves and in some instances commit suicide. Obviously, very serious, scary stuff.

But, just because it is a hoax, should parents or kids not be concerned. We discuss this and more on today's show.
