Each of the stepkids told me about this a few days back, before all the viral stuff took off on facebook. I ad been talking to them separately about something else similar, and immediately they were like 'is that that momo thing?' and they told me about it...then I searched. The next day a load of parents were posting about it.

It seems, that its generally through whatsapp and such, TS is right in that its generally friends 'having a laugh' but a lot of kids seem genuinely scared of it. The momo spliced in videos thing seems to be a bit of a myth...however there is dodgy messages in, for instance peppa pig videos aimed at kids, that are on the YT kids app.
