Momo - To delete YouTube for all

DC watch a mix of documentaries, gaming and family challenge videos on YouTube. The eldest uses it to practice singing between lessons.
Momo has terrified me, my youngest DC8 is very sensitive so I really want to try and protect them.
Eldest DC has known about momo for a while and is a bit hardier but feel like it wouldn't be fair to 'allow' one and not the other.
What have you decided to do about momo?

Does anyone teach their kid to buy the DVD or stream the film?

Shock horror people who illegally pirate tv shows might not behave ethically, morally or illegally

No less than five stories about 'Momo' on the front page of the Daily Mirror website. It's incredibly irresponsible. For most parts It's a complete hoax which has been given a life of its own by gullible, fascinated parents.

My Facebook is full of this shit now and it's just a matter of time before my 6 year old hears about it in the playground and gets upset. Brilliant.

I wonder where all the people are who say that their friend or child saw it? Hmm

Astrosnacks sounds naff and yes, fake.

Cannabis is unlikely to cause violent vomiting and hallucinations in small doses sounds more like Psilocybin.
