Who’s Behind the ‘Momo Challenge’?

The "Momo Challenge": Is it a dangerous social media game encouraging kids to take their lives or a recurring viral hoax? The bug-eyed girl known as Momo has been popping up on social media in recent days after multiple police departments posted warnings about the challenge, which apparently urges kids to kill themselves. The challenge is not new, having surfaced multiple times last year, including in a report of a girl who allegedly took her own life as a result of the game.
