dangerous adolescent behaviors."

Parents are the first line of defense in protecting children from playing the Choking Game.  Second are
school districts.  Children are learning the Choking Game and participating at home and at school.
Giving children the tools of information may save their life when confronted to 'play' this 'game'.
What the kids are saying:

"How I play the Choking
game -  is in a group so it's
safe"
"It's just passing out, no
one ever dies from passing
out."

THEY ARE WRONG!

What to do?    Learn the warning signs, know the many slang names that might be over heard within a
teens conversation.  Check your child's computer for websites containing "Pass Out" or "Choking
Game".  Also look for videos viewed or uploaded by your child from video sharing sites like MySpace or
YouTube.

Share the "Life After Stories" or the Victim's Tributes with your child.  Children are often awe struck by
how much these children look like or remind them of someone they know.
