Written by families thenselves after The Choking Game entered thier lives.
"The best thing to prevent any more
deaths is to talk to children about it.
The danger is in pretending is doesn't
exist," he said. "The kids already
know this game. It's the parents who
are clueless. You have to talk about
it. It's not as if you're telling them
something they don't already know."
