The Choking Game

Please read this article about a 21 year old 4.0 chemical engineering student who hanged himself accidentally this week while playing the choking game. Parents, this is serious stuff and it affects kids of all ages and backgrounds...

“Between 400 and 500 kids a year die from this game…And that doesn’t count those that just have serious injuries and have to get tracheotomies, or they have strokes, or that have memory loss, that have other neurological impairments secondary to asphyxiation." Dr. Phil McGraw

The 'typical' age range is usually 9-14, but there are cases of kids playing this game at a much younger age. Here some warning signs to look for.
