    "The horrific "Momo" challenge, which first made headlines last fall, is spreading once again. This time, in Europe.

    Lyn Dixon of Edinburgh, Scotland, told Daily Express her 8-year-old son was searching through YouTube recently when the infamous "Momo" figure splashed across his screen. The scary doll boasts bulging eyes, dark, stringy hair, and a menacing smirk.

    WARNING: the video below contains content that may be disturbing to some readers

    I never tweet about things like this but I think it is absolutely disgusting how someone has been sad enough to create this momo challenge. Absolutely awful on its own not alone the fact it?s aimed for kids!!

    Double Warning: that video really is creepy. I wouldn't click it if kids are in the room.

    Nothing. What's wrong with the people exploiting them?

    Can you imagine? They're hacking this onto kid's phones and in games.

    I know a kid that can't sleep if she watches the wrong Disney film.
