The Blue Whale - A Dangerous Diaspora


Parents have reasons to feel worried these days. The killer Blue Whale game has already claimed 150 lives worldwide and its evil shadow is reaching all parts of the globe. The death game is spreading in an alarming manner, and yes, it has arrived in India too! In fact, Blue Whale related suicide cases have already been reported from all parts of the country.



The police are on alert and the administration has issued advisory to parents. The kind of panic and mayhem created worldwide by a game is truly unprecedented and it does not bode well for future. Blue Whale however is not one of those normal PC or mobile games aimed at entertaining or enriching kids -- it’s different and deadly at the same time! 

The game is targeted at teens and young adults; it suits those seeking thrills bordering on the abnormal. It’s basically a 50-day challenge and lures participants into doing tasks ranging from easy to dangerous in a gradual manner. As the game progresses, the level of risks intensifies and the tasks become more challenging.

The worst part about the challenges is – they urge gamers to self-harm to the extent of jumping off a high-rise building! And the ultimate or last challenge asks the gamer to commit suicide! If all that was not enough, the participants are asked to submit a photographic evidence to each task done successfully.

Blue Whale aside, the internet has so many other equally harmful avenues or channels that put lives at stake. With children always connected to the online world, parents have plenty of reason to feel concerned. A lot of youth is now caught in the online or offline gambling/betting habit; Drugs is now a really serious problem among teens and youth.

Similarly, porn materials are easily available for access and this has created a variety of challenges to the society as a whole. This porn is the reason why more children are into sex activities at an early age. Teens are indulging in sex, visiting brothels and taking extreme steps to satisfy their erotic urges.

What’s more, cases are growing where sex predators are always on the lookout for easy prey and who knows you child could be next in line to be trapped. Likewise, there is always the risk of blackmailing, as we have seen with Blue Whale, and in most cases, innocent children don’t report the matter to parents and rather prefer to give into the demand of web slayers.

Online chatting has also posed a lot of challenges for children as such conversations are mostly anonymous and risks remain greater. Cases have been reported where girls have found themselves in a trap through chatting. The list of problems is really big and parents often don’t have much of idea about what their child is up to. They only come to know when it’s really too late.
