NCPCR appeals to parents, teachers to keep close watch on children showing abnormal and erratic behaviour

National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has appealed to parents and teachers to keep a close watch on those children who are showing abnormal and erratic behaviour which could be linked to Blue Whale Challenge game. <br/><br/>Recently, there have been several instances where young children have committed suicide, apparently after having played this game, which ends in suicide. <br/><br/>In an official release, the commission said, there have been successful interventions by parents, teachers and friends for preventing some children from taking the extreme step of committing suicide. <br/><br/>The government had yesterday said it will take action against internet-based social media platforms if they fail to remove links to the deadly Blue Whale Challenge game. <br/><br/>Law and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had said, clear instructions have been issued to all the technology platforms that they must delink this game immediately.
