Although this article isnt pertaining to our area but it is a good reading material for parents, sort of a heads up. If not allowed feel free to delete :D “The choking game.” “Five minutes in heaven.” “Blackout.” “The knockout challenge.” Those are just a few of the names for a dangerous adolescent pastime that’s been around for decades but is back with a vengeance: Asphyxiate your friend (or yourself) just enough to cut off their airway, until he or she feels a quick, euphoric rush. The catch is that sometimes the person being choked will pass out or be left with irreversible brain damage — and sometimes they’ll even die. The grim reality is why a Utah school district has become the first in the nation to agree to incorporate choking-game awareness into its health curriculum.
