Sunday, November 09, 2025 - Media personality Janet Mbugua has urged parents to pay closer attention to what their children consume online after a startling discovery involving a viral chant her son picked up.
The mother of two shared the experience on social media,
revealing that her seven-year-old came home singing a catchy tune, “Tralalero
Tralala”, that initially seemed like harmless playground fun.
“I was amused, then curious until I learned what it meant.
My heart sank,” she wrote.
The chant, which includes a string of gibberish-sounding
words, is part of a viral Italian video trend known as “brain rot” content.
Upon research, she discovered that the full phrase contains
blasphemous language in Italian, cursing both God and Allah - something most
children are unaware of when repeating it.
“As a mother, I see how innocence meets the algorithm every
day,” she reflected.
She warned that digital content, even when disguised as
humor or memes, can carry harmful messages.
She emphasized that children are being socialized through
content they don’t fully understand, and that what seems funny today may shape
harmful attitudes tomorrow.
