Tonight's 20/20 is about a 13 year old girl, who played the choking game and died in April. I am not sure if it's wise for children to see it - though it may scare them never to try this. It might be good to tape it, and have parents watch it first. But I hope many watch it. It's a "real" deadly game.
USA Today: 'Suffocation games' among kids turn fatal (regarding above girl and another Idaho boy) " "Parents need to know (that) very good kids do this," says Ashraf Attalla, a child psychiatrist at the Ridgeview Institute in Atlanta. "To my surprise, it's much more common than I thought. We're seeing this more and more." Attalla says he has patients who say they've played it every day."
