Kids as young as five are being left traumatised after watching videos of a killer teddy bear called 'Huggy Wuggy' - prompting warnings from police, schools and worried parents. Young children in playgrounds across the UK have been acting out the razor-toothed horror game character's actions after videos slipped through Youtube and TikTok filters. Year 1 pupils have been exposed to the terrifying clips which sees the creature singing about "hugging and killing" and asking viewers to "take their last breath".The worrying trend has been branded the online equivalent of the "Killer Clown" craze, which swept across Britain several years ago.
Police forces have even issued warnings to parents while schools have also stepped in to issue advice to mums and dads. Huggy Wuggy is a character in a puzzle game which sees players attempt to escape their stalking villain in a toy factory.The game is available on platforms such as YouTube and Roblox and contains disturbing content that is unfiltered due to there being no age rating. Mum-of-two Rhia Fearn, 35, of Etwall, Derbyshire, said she was shocked when her son Harrison, five, came home from school asking about the character, Mirror Online reports.
She said: "A couple of weeks ago he started to talk about Huggy Wuggy, which I innocently thought was a good character because of his name. "I was asking him questions about whether he was a goodie, and Harrison was adamant 'no he's a baddie and he kills people'. "That was really contradictory for me because I thought 'that can't be right - he's called Huggy Wuggy'.
