Private firm defends school factsheet on Momo hoax

Charities say parental guidance about scary-doll challenges may have worsened issue

A private company that provides schools with internet safety material has insisted it behaved responsibility by issuing factsheets on the Momo challenge hoax, despite concerns it may have exacerbated the panic surrounding the issue.

National Online Safety produced a factsheet entitled "What parents need to know about Momo", which many UK schools sent home with children.
