Youngsters are being left traumatised after watching videos of a killer teddy called Huggy Wuggy, prompting warnings from police, schools and parents.
Schoolchildren have been acting out the horror game character's actions in the playground after videos slipped through Youtube and TikTok filters. Year 1 pupils have been exposed to the terrifying clips which see 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, reports Hull Live. Police forces have issued warnings to parents while schools have also stepped in to issue advice to mums and dads.
