Police Warning For Kids About Huggy Wuggy
Parents and teachers in England are being warned about “Huggy Wuggy” being spread by pre-school and elementary-aged children.
Sheila Smith told me that her 8-year-old son scared her when she discovered a drawing he’d made of the monster after classmates showed him movies they’d found online.
She felt compelled to see these movies for herself, and she discovered tens of thousands of them in which the character Huggy Wuggy bites off arms.
“‘Cause I could just hug you here forever, forever, ’til you breathe your last breath together, together,” the figure sings in a music video as he walks down gloomy hallways.
