OAK RIDGE NORTH POLICE DEPARTMENT COMMUNITY INFORMATION
THIS WAS SENT TO YORK JR. HIGH PARENTS BY THE PRINCIPAL. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE TO HELP PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND THIS PRACTICE AND INTERCEDE. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO PASTE THE LINK INTO YOUR BROWSER AND WATCH THE PROGRAM.
Dear York Parents,
I wanted to make you aware of a trend that is happening, not only among York students, but students from all over. There have been several incidents of students making themselves pass out- some deliberately choking themselves, while others breathing deeply until they pass out. Either way, it is a dangerous trend. Kids call it many things- one of which is called the Choking Game. It is not a game at all, in fact, it can be deadly.
I received a link to a video, which I will provide to you, about the choking game. When I first saw it, I thought it was too much for the school to show during one of its advisory periods. However, I think it would be a powerful video for you to watch with your own children. I plan on watching the video with my own children and discussing it afterwards. I do not think it is a video that your kids should watch by themselves- some parts are disturbing and emotional.
You'll have to download the video from the link: [Link]http://www.gaspinfo.com/en/involved.html
