Momo Hoax, Momo Problems.

Back in August, fears grew among parents in South America as police were looking for an internet user going by the name, Momo. The nefarious user is said to text children who look for it online and gives them a challenge in which they either hurt themselves or others. It turned out the suicide of a 12-year-old girl in Argentina (mentioned in a previous article) was NOT a result of a “Suicide challenge” as originally suspected and was confirmed by Argentinean authorities. Recently there’s been a surge in Momo memes on social media (especially Facebook) that have some scratching their heads and others worried, thanks in part to the Police Service of Northern Ireland posting a warning on Facebook about Momo and it’s “challenge” which was brought to their attention thus causing some panic in the UK. Claims that Momo appears in children’s videos on Youtube, or contacted youths playing Fortnite have not been confirmed as internet sleuths (professional and

While many of the details haven’t been shared, Collider has stated that “Zanbato centers around a young female ninja — a character who could be anywhere between 10 and 15 years old.” However, del Toro insists it’s not a ninja movie, it just features some. BTW- NOT a Ninja project,” del Toro tweeted. “But there are ninjas in it.” Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams will be producing the film along with Lindsey Weber.
