A worried mother has urged parents to protect their children from the dangers of an online 'suicide game' after her son was told to hold a knife to his neck by a disturbing cartoon.

Lyn Dixon's eight-year-old son is one of the latest child to become ensnared by the Momo Challenge, a game which is played on WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube and other online platforms, and encourages children to self-harm.

The eerie game is synonymous with the face of a girl with long, black hair and big bug-like eyes staring straight through the lens.

 Japanese special effects firm Link Factory created the bizarre character, but said it is not involved in the online suicide game, which has sparked worldwide concern.

Ms Dixon said her young boy became frightened of the dark and was scared to be alone after Momo appeared on YouTube videos he was watching.



The mother, from Edinburgh, said the game encourages children to harm themselves.

The mother warned and told the parents to watch their children not to play or accept the Momo Challenge.Momo Challenge, Viral Suicide Game Breaks the Internet - Watch Your Children
