Police are warning parents about a sinister cartoon character called Huggy Wuggy who sings "menacing" songs about death and is being watched by children as young as four.
The frightening figure is believed to be a monster from an adult horror game and is attracting curious young viewers despite singing about "hugging and killing" whilst also telling the audience to "take their last breath", BelfastLive reports.
Crime Prevention and Early Intervention Chief Inspector Joanne Gibson said the police is aware of the cartoon character 'Huggy Wuggy' on internet sites and apps.
