I just heard that my PW friend’s son was playing the “Choking Game”. While I’m glad for their sake that his death wasn’t intentional, I’m sadden to think this “game” took another victim!! 🙁
The Choking game can also be referred to as the Pass Out Game, Fainting Game, Black out.  Here is a website to help raise awareness and give parents information on this activity: http://www.chokinggame.net/ Included are warning signs and a huge list of common names for this activity. I just noticed there are teaching tools on the site too!
Please – educate yourselves and your children. Tell them the high is no where near the pain that this can cause!!
I’m so sorry for your friend’s loss. No loss is easy, but having things like t his must just make your mind go crazy with extra “what ifs”. I appreciate the link. Hubby is the webmaster for his school’s site and he is going to put the link in the parent information site… mayb sharing this info will save someone else.
That is SO scary! Thanks for passing on the information. I’m so sorry for your friend. 🙁
