There’s been a lot of handwringing over this supposed TikTok trend and scant evidence it existed.
You also might remember the “Momo Challenge” in 2019, which featured a ghastly bird woman on YouTube and other social media sites who was allegedly encouraging kids to commit self-harm. International news outlets initially began reporting on the challenge, with a 12-year-old girl’s suicidegaining worldwide attention. Soon, social media influencers like Kim Kardashian were posting warnings about kids being targeted by Momo.
. As with the school challenge, people warning about Momo were largely unable to produce actual posts or videos encouraging kids to hurt themselves or others.Rumors about kids and teens participating in deadly fads have been fueling handwringing news coverage for decades, though social media seems to be putting these panics into over drive.
