She's heard of it, all of her friends have heard of it and talk about it, and I also saw an old friend of mine (who lives on the other side of the country) saying similar. He had never heard about it until the recent media stuff, asked his 10 year old, and she said "Yeah everyone knows about Momo".

Sooo... I wouldn't assume that just because most ADULTS didn't know anything about it, that most kids didn't. They seem to have their own little grapevine and have been talking about Momo for quite a while.

My son said exactly the same thing. He has parental controls on his tablet and no access to social media but knew ALL about Momo.

I must ask my son if he knows about it, he's 14 though, is it more a younger kids thing?

My nephew is the same age as your son and said that it's not as widespread as people are making it sound and that kids his age know not to take it seriously. Seems to be blown out of proportion a bit.

14 is massively different to 8 or 9 though in how they understand the dangers and what is real and not.

Its a big problem when young kids are being freaked out by it....even if its only a couple its a problem when kids are being told to hurt themselves or others
