'Momo Challenge' Controversy
A number of children have
been talking about the ‘Momo Challenge’ in school this week. As a result we have
had talks with pupils from 1st Class upwards yesterday, just to allay
pupil’s concerns and remind them to stay safe online; as they would in the real
world. Parents can read more about this challenge here… https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/police-warn-parents-about-momo-challenge-dangers-1.3805965
Once parents remain vigilant in their monitoring of children, this should not present any problems. Primarily, it is essential to supervise children at all times, especially when they access tablets, phones, games, computers, devices, internet etc.
On a related note, please consider an appropriate amount of screen time/access time for your child and apply best practice in the home place.
