The "choking game" - talk to your kids!

A woman on a coupon forum I read & post on just lost her 12 year old son to the "choking game." Another woman posted as well that she lost a child to this "game" in 2004. How tragic! (Another woman posted, saying that it was something that she used to play as a teen.)

Just thought I'd post so that we, as parents, can be aware of this dangerous game.

Here is the info:

I've heard of this kind of thing happening, but not with young children.

I've heard about it. I've read about it. I've never known anyone who has experienced losing someone to it personally - and for that I give the Lord thanks!!

There was a huge write-up in the Reader's Digest a few years back about this. I talked to my two older boys right away. I remember playing this "game" in the back of the school bus when we lived in Gresham and then doing it at home in my room by myself. Scary!

I must say this is very sad news.
