Disturbing and creepy, the ‘Momo Challenge’ isn’t a viral danger to children online, but it sure is viral.
People across the world are spreading awareness about 'Momo Challenge'.
If you’re a parent of a young child, chances are that someone on Facebook has sent you an alarming post about the “Momo challenge,” a game illustrated by a disturbing photograph of a woman, in which participants are blackmailed into completing increasingly dangerous tasks.
Maybe that post says that Momo is the latest “trend.”

Momo was perfectly tuned to set off alarms in the mind of any parent: There’s something online that you don’t know about, and it’s about to kill or traumatize your child. Just one problem: There’s little evidence to confirm that the Momo challenge is real. Although multiple deaths are often attributed to the challenge in warnings about it, none has been confirmed.
The panic over Momo followed a familiar pattern established by other supposedly viral “challenges” - the condom challenge and Tide pod challenge, for example that caused a lot of hand-wringing but few, if any, documented injuries.
The viral spread of this kind of story may say less about the danger these challenges pose to young people and more about the fear that the Internet inspires in parents... Read More: Washington Post.
The Momo challenge is a Hoax:
But the online culture and financial rewards that made it seem feasible are scary.
Everyone worries about their kids.
My kid is two; from the moment he was born (and probably during the few months before), each time I heard about something bad happening to a child, I went into a panicky, sickened research mode, frantically searching for confirmation that the absolute worst had happened and could happen again.
Saw a video from a Deaf man on Facebook saying there were no official ASL interpreters at the Inauguration. Nobody wasn’t there, but heard this from Deaf friends who were there. Anybody know if this is true?
The Deaf community wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t have interpreters, or maybe there's something fishy going on, is it a rigged or not, you decide.
Hillary Clinton's campaign were disappointment from the Republican swept to victory over Hillary in the ultimate triumph for a campaign that repeatedly shattered the conventions of politics a remarkable upset, that's mainly reasons. They are probably pissed off because, they got their asses whipped by Republicans. What a butthurt for the Liberal Democracy these today in America.
Coverage on Marlee Matlin's ‘Retarded’ and Deaf American's ‘White America’ is misleading and possibly rigged.
Share from Facebook: Let this be clear. This isn’t a pro-Democrat or Republican blog, no taken sides in the presidential race, just expressing the opinions.
Here's the blog coverage on Marlee Matlin's ‘Retarded’ and a Deaf American's ‘White America’ There's something fishy going on, is it a rigged or not, you decide.
Donald Trump repeatedly called Marlee Matlin's "retarded"
Three NBC staffers on the reality TV show, who requested anonymity due to non-disclosure agreements, told the Daily Beast that Trump often treated Matlin with disrespect and called her “retarded,” both behind her back and in front of her, as seen on Marlee Matlin Slams Donald Trump ‘Retarded’.
Thousand of Deaf American voters, mostly Republican supporters does not believe three NBC staffers' claimed, because, there was no proven or evidence that a Republican presidential candidate Trump repeatedly called her “retarded”.
Rigged is a conspiracy theory that circulated alleging Donald Trump repeatedly called Marlee Matlin's “retarded” before the Presidential Election 2016, apparently, Matlin appeared on the Celebrity Apprentice and the second place on season 11 in 2011, it was 5 years ago, when the Presidential Election is near an end and three staffers of the NBC of Democratic Party too soon announced in 2016 five years later regarding Trump's comment's “retarded”, which three NBC staffers were in fear the Republican Donald Trump would be president, and they set up an accused of discrimination as bait Deaf Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton, that figures, unfortunately, it was not work that way. There seems to be something fishy going on with the NBC of Democratic Party. 'Rigged'?
#2: Something fishy going on about the image of Deaf American man claims.
“This is white America now.” Deaf American man abused in cafe.
Deaf American man has written about the abuse he faced in a cafe just hours after Donald Trump’s victory in the Presidential election.
Deaf American man nor woman is a Liberal, who's possibly make it up the story to the Deaf community. Some of voters find quite bizarre strange about this image.
First of all: Ironically about this texts image and it seems not make sense, because, the media claimed "Deaf American Man" has written which Lena is a female given name, not a male given name. However, Lena Van Manen is a child of Deaf parents (CODA) and has native signing skills. She is a freelance interpreter with a NIC Master certification from RID, which must be her associate has written on her Facebook, it's not clarify enough as misleading.
Nyle DiMarco reposted and share, to protect the user (Lena Van Manen)
Second: Deafies puzzles this texts image, how the hell he has been communicate with a racial slurs hearing person which he could not understand what a guy was saying and screaming from two inches of nose to nose? Lena was with her associate the whole time at Starbucks in early morning? There was no proven or evidence. There seems to be something fishy going on. 'Rigged'?
Hillary Clinton's campaign were disappointment from the Republican swept to victory over Hillary in the ultimate triumph for a campaign that repeatedly shattered the conventions of politics a remarkable upset, that's mainly reasons. They are probably pissed off because, they got their asses whipped by Republicans. What a butthurt for Democrat supporters these today in America.
Chinese fetus noodle soup, anyone? The myth of Chinese fetus soup.
SEOUL, South Korea -- Very disturbing pictures are now spreading across the internet about a certain delicacy which could be found in China.
Some Chinese people are known to be eating babies, and the news, which has been circulating through the internet and via email, is shocking the world.
An email report received by the Seoul Times confirmed that news with several vivid and appalling pictures of human embryos and fetuses being made into a soup for human consumption.
The report went on. A town in the southern province of Canton (Guangdong) is now in focus. Chinese folks there are enjoying baby herbal soup to increase overall health and stamina and the power of sexual performance in particular.
This time, a couple who already has two daughters decided to abort the child after receiving confirmation that it was another girl. The baby was already five months old.
Those babies who are close to be born and die naturally cost 2000 in China Currency. Those aborted ones cost a few hundreds in China Currency.
Those couples who did not want to sell dead babies, placentas can be accepted also for couple of hundreds.
One local reporter was quoted as saying that this is the problem arising from Chinese taking too much attention in health or is the backfire effect when China introduced one child in a family policy.
This heinous crime rise from the fact that majority of Chinese people prefer to have male babies and the poor families end up selling their female babies. Dead babies can be purchased in Taiwan for 70 US dollars for being used as grilled delicacies.
The fake news report goes like this:
Forget the Soup Nazi, how about some Chinese Baby Soup? First is was Asians eating black people for lunch. Now the hot thing is Chinese baby Soup, made from a fresh fetus of an aborted baby.
A town in Canton is now on trend making baby herbal soup to increase health and sexual performance/stamina. The cost of the fetus soup in China currency is approximately $ 4000 (around RMB 2000)... Read The Full Story.
Amplification and Cochlear Implants Are Simply A Hoax!
The amplification and cochlear implants are artificial and man-made. They are for awareness, not acquisition, of the world of sounds, and they are therefore as individualistic as playing piano, trombone or flute.
There is no guarantee to the benefit of them. To me as a native signer, amplification and cochlear implants are sumply a hoax, pumping hot balloons for many innocent people, figuratively speaking, into creating numerous unthinkable hostilities toward ASL, Deaf Education and, above all, the Deaf.
If you have access to the internet, or live within shouting distance of someone who does, then few past weeks ago, you probably watched the wildly popular the videos of "Hears For The First Time" in these days, Deaf people who, after receiving cochlear/hearing implantations, was able to hear for the first time.
Some people humbly suggest that the debate over real or fake is completely meaningless anyway, since the purpose is just to get people talking about the company or the product in fact, the people who are crying "fake," while trying to damage the video's reputation, are actually only helping the brand succeed in generating buzz. It's a textbook example of the "the "Streisand Effect."
"Entertainment and sharing are the only goals with online video ads" Viewers get so caught up in the debate over real or fake, but you know who doesn't? The brand. Do you think the brand cares whether you came to the video with a bias thinking it was fake? Because they don't. What they care about is that you A) watched it, and B) forwarded it to someone. You could have forwarded it because you believed it was a real. Or you could have sent it to friends because you're convinced it's an obvious fake and you want their support. Either way... the video is shared like crazy.
It's also incredibly difficult to "prove" these things one way or another, which will allow the conspiracy theory to live on almost indefinitely. So if they're smart, The community isn't getting caught up in trying to prove their video is real, but are merely basking in the glow of the tech journalism's spotlight. Meanwhile, international media news are the propaganda of HUGE lies!!!, but the audience will no longer believe it's real.
One frequently cited piece of evidence supporting the hoax claim is that they speaks pretty clearly which, according to "hear" now, but they're still not "Hearing"! with captioned, It is impossible for someone who is actually Deaf. This evaluation is usually backed up with an explanation like, "My nephew went to summer camp with a guy who said his neighbor's aunt was completely Deaf, and she couldn't talk that well, so this must be a fake."
However, the first sentence of that article proves the point. They were not DEAF. They had severe "Hearing Loss." It is amazing what they did but it should not be title "DEAF" they "HEARS" for the first time. They has been heard themselves before, just not clearly. Thier voice sounded too "Hearing-Like" and could be heard clearly raising questions if her hearing loss is really severe, maybe there's a line drawn between using the term 'Deaf', because there are 'Legally Blind' people that can still see. Maybe there is 'Legally Deaf'.
These people clearly do not understand that proper speech requires hearing in order for the speaker to properly modulate their voice. For the same reason that people listening to loud music on headphones may either shout or speak too quietly, Deaf people typically have a difficult time vocalizing normally. One of the reasons that they are able to vocalize in the manner that they do is because their brain is using the vibration caused by their vocal chords to help modulate. Spoken word recognition in toddlers who use cochlear implants: https://jslhr.asha.org/cgi/content/abstract.
Again, Entertainment and sharing are the only goals with online video ads have been quite a few detractors on the internet stating that seems to indicate these videos may be a fake/hoax..., because they are able to speak almost immediately after it is turned on. The video takes place in a doctor's office and shows the adult/children's reaction at the precise moment a lab technician turns on the implant device. Some people viewed the video at least a half-dozen times, and they can unequivocally state that it is the most inspiring the video you will ever see that consists almost entirely of thier crying or exciting (Presumably, they are crying because of the emotion of the moment, and not because the technician decided that thier first audible sound should be a recording, perhaps. The stories run by the media is grossly distorted or simply fake (to sell the product?) it is possbile to convince people to buy the product by the cochlear implant companies from the media network.
The media network is interesting the video which on purpose is only for the money as the dirty business? as seen on Cochlear Business is Dirty Business with captions. The video is only for the money as the dirty business that what the media seeking partnership agreement contract to share profit from the cochlear implant companies? The whole thing was acted out in order to help promote the implantable hearing aid.

"Hears for the first time" is a real or fake, you decide...
Sarah Churman's 'Hears' for the first time video possibly a hoax.
If you have access to the Internet, or live within shouting distance of someone who does, then few past weeks you probably watched the wildly popular YouTube of Sarah Churman, a 29-year-old Deaf woman who, after receiving cochlear implants, was able to hear for the first time as 29 Year Old Deaf Woman Hears Herself For The First Time.
There have been quite a few detractors on the internet stating that seems to indicate this video may be a fake/hoax..., because she is able to speak almost immediately after it is turned on. The video takes place in a doctor's office and shows Ms. Churman's reaction at the precise moment a lab technician turns on the implant device Envoy Medical, the maker of the Esteem.
Some people viewed this video at least a half-dozen times, and they can unequivocally state that it is the most inspiring 90-second video you will ever see that consists almost entirely of a woman crying (Presumably, she is crying because of the emotion of the moment, and not because the technician decided that Sarah's first audible sound should be a recording of, say, Fran Drescher's voice.)
The story is grossly distorted or simply fake (to sell the product?). It is possbile to convince people to buy the product perhaps, which Sarah Churman got paid off the debt as Envoy Medical Corporation, the maker of the Esteem give her $30,000 to pay her back that Sarah's video fakery been successfully, Sarah Churman first appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show: Sarah Churman With A Device Called Esteem.
Sloan Churman's video is advertising for the money as the dirty business? The Envoy Medical Corporation, the maker of the Esteem is dirty business to convinced people to buy the product?..is that right?... because there is too many in the negative comments as seen on: #comments mostly involve accusations that the scene was staged, that Churman is not really DEAF, that there is no such thing as "hearing," etc. Therefore, Sloan Churman's inspiring video where Sarah Churman hears her own voice for the first time after a lifetime of being Deaf as a person.
One frequently cited piece of evidence supporting the hoax claim is that Sarah speaks pretty clearly which, according to many commenters, is impossible for someone who is actually Deaf. This evaluation is usually backed up with an explanation like, "My nephew went to summer camp with a guy who said his neighbor's aunt was completely Deaf, and she couldn't talk that well, so this must be a fake." It is possbile that Churman's video is a hoax, for instance Yes, they "hear" now, but they're still not "Hearing"!
These people clearly do not understand that proper speech requires hearing in order for the speaker to properly modulate their voice. For the same reason that people listening to loud music on headphones may either shout or speak too quietly, Deaf people typically have a difficult time vocalizing normally. One of the reasons that they are able to vocalize in the manner that they do is because their brain is using the vibration caused by their vocal chords to help modulate. Now that I’ve cleared that up let’s all get misty eyed for as we watch a truly transcendent moment of science and humanity.
However, the first sentence of that article proves the point. She was not Deaf. She had severe hearing loss. It is amazing what they did but it should not be title DEAF girl hearing herself for the first time. She has heard herself before, just not clearly. Maybe there's a line drawn between using the term 'Deaf', because there are 'legally blind' people that can still see. Maybe there is 'legally Deaf'.
Some people responses has reacted to a Sarah Churman's video:
The Sarah Churman Effect - First off, check out Sarah Churman's first blog soon after her Esteem was activated describing her awareness about the new sound around here.
1) It's fake. The whole thing was acted out in order to help promote the Esteem implantable hearing aid.
2) The title of the YouTube video was "misleading" and that she didn't really hear her voice for the first time.
3) Her voice sounded too "hearing-like" and could be heard clearly raising questions if her hearing loss is really severe.
Media Reporter interview with Sarah Churman on the show "TODAY"
By Michael Inbar: TODAY.com contributor updated 10/3/2011 9:58:26 AM ET.
Severely hearing impaired since birth, Sarah Churman had long managed to cope in a world where sounds came as if they were under water. But now, a surgical implant lets her hear her own voice, the sounds of birds singing, her two daughters chattering and her husband snoring.
“Yeah, that I didn’t listen to very long!” Churman told Matt Lauer on TODAY Monday as she recounted her first full week in the world of the hearing.
The pretty, 29-year-old Texan has became an internet sensation, thanks to a video taken by her husband, Sloan, as she heard her voice for the very first time last week. In the video, Sarah becomes overwhelmed with emotion, covering her mouth and bursting into tears, as she first hears herself talking. “I don’t want to hear myself cry,” she says and then laughs as she turns to her husband.
Sloan Churman posted the video on YouTube so friends and family could also witness the medical miracle, but a whole lot of others also looked in 8 million at last count. Appearing with his wife, Sloan told Lauer he almost didn’t tape the groundbreaking family event at all.
“I nearly didn’t videotape it, if it wasn’t for my mother saying, ‘You’re going to video this, we need to see this,” he said. “I wouldn’t have done it, because this was intimate for us; this was like getting married or having a child. I mean, seriously.”
Sarah was born with a rare genetic deformity that means she's missing the hair in her inner ear that transmits sound to the brain. She was fitted with her first hearing aid at age 2, but even with that technology she could only hear some vibrations and loud noises. She compensated throughout her life by becoming adept at reading people’s lips.
But earlier this year, Sloan Churman heard a radio ad for the Esteem Inner Ear Stimulator, billed as the only full implantable hearing aid for what his wife suffered from sensorineural hearing loss.
The $30,000 implant was pricey for the working class family. But they saved and borrowed Sloan’s mother helped out greatly and in July, Sarah had the procedure.
She told Lauer “millions of things” went through her mind as she prepared to hear her own voice for the first time last week.
“Half of me was just scared to death, that it was going to come on and I wasn’t going to like it, just because…this is all I’ve ever known for 29 years,” she said. “So the fear of the unknown, not knowing what it was going to sound like can be overwhelming. And it was just nervousness, (but) then the other half of me, ‘Oh hurry up and turn it on!’"
Sarah learned despite not being able to hear, she has a distinct Texas accent. “The funny thing is…the first time we traveled outside the country, everyone kept talking about our accents, so I was kind of surprised I didn’t think I had an accent,” she told Lauer.
But perhaps the biggest blessing was being able to hear the voices of her daughters, ages 4 and 20 months.
“That was pretty amazing,” she said. “My oldest (is) quite the little talker; she sounds so grown up and very articulate. And my youngest, I can hear the Texas accent in her voice.”
According to TODAY medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman, the fact that Sarah has an accent and can enunciate words fairly clearly shows she has had some hearing ability, but the still-new procedure is a distinct improvement on what a regular hearing aid can do.
“The cool thing about this is it uses the normal anatomy of the ear, so it takes the little bones in the middle ear, sends them to a processor, then sends them to the nerve that goes into the brain, and all this garbled stuff is turned into sound, so she can really hear it,” Snyderman said.
“Hearing aids normally have a lot of background noise and distortion; this makes it much better. It’s a surgical implantation approved by the FDA, but only a couple of hundred people have them.”
Sarah Churman's "Hears" for the first time is fake... you decide...
