 The Kiki challenge is a classic example of how things started in a fun way can become dangerous. However, the Momo challenge and the Blue Whale Game were started with an intention of cyber criminals preying on young vulnerable children by hooking them to the games with a life-threatening endpoint. Both the games work on the psychology of cognitive distortion, loss of touch with reality, social isolation and fear. The main role to be played by the government should be raising awareness about such challenges and making professional support available and accessible. Policing is not an answer to these challenges because the children need support and understanding as well as right interventions and education of care-givers such as parents and teachers to recognize the early signs of mental health issues.
