France. A father accuses WhatsApp, YouTube of the death of his son, the French state and several social platforms

A XNUMX-year-old Frenchman took his own life last October and his father decided to file a complaint against WhatsApp, YouTube, a dating site for teenagers (rencontre-ados.com) and the French state for allowing his son to get in touch. with the infamous “Momo Challenge”. Very active in the community and full of dreams and projects, as has been spread by the French press, according to the family, the young Kendal would never have committed suicide if he had not participated in the game that incites the participants to commit dangerous acts, which can reach death.

«Young people are not protected - René Gattino explained to AFP - the state has never addressed this problem adequately. We thought we were leading a quiet life in the countryside, but the Internet is everywhere… ».

The prosecutor told the media that investigations were launched "to determine the exact circumstances of the death." Last September, a French deputy sent a question to the Minister of the Interior. The "Momo Challenge" is similar to the better known "Blue whale Challenge" for which the French police had moved in 2017. Beyond the drama and the judicial initiative, Giovanni D'Agata, president of the "Rights Desk" , hopes that it will finally be recognized on a global level that these dangerous chains deserve the most thorough checks and timely checks by the state authorities for their diffusion among the audience of thousands of young people whose psychic barriers are fading more and more in total unpreparedness and difficulty in checking by parents and whoever is responsible for them.
