Idaho Boy Dies While Playing Choking Game

What in the WORLD are people teaching their kids? (I have a theory -- the answer is "nothing"!)

sounds like autoerotic asphyxiation to me.

Good riddance to stupid people.

And just when you thjought drunken santas and a table leg as a defensive weapon was the top of the weird list, then this comes apon us.

That is quite worrying to hear that such a game is actually popular. Though how you can get "high" from it is beyond me.

This is old news to me. In the fine prison cam...er Scholastic institution of Dunoon Grammer school, where I recieved my secondary education this was all the rage amongst 1-3 years. Even my brother played it....which might explain his standard grade results.

But to answer your question Jeff-basically it cuts off the blood and oxygen to the brain producing a 'high' effect. It also kills about 12,000 brain cells every second your brain is without oxygen but oh well....

But looking at the particulars in this case even the Dunoon one was safer-it didn't involve rope. The more time I read it the more the Majors disturbing hypothesis wells up.

So the choking game finally rears it's ugly deformed soul stealing head...But enough about the snake in they yard... So I only have one question to ask...Who is stupid enough to try and choke themselves to death? This was a child. He wanted to get high. So what does he do? HE HANGS HIMSELF THATS WHAT! Seriously thank you for bringing this to my attention. And Major is right. Just a good way of getting rid of stupid people without lots of lawsuits.

It still blows my mind reading it over again that the doctors and school officials and parents are so dumb about it. Especially the parents, though; they really need to keep better tabs on their kids. REALLY.

Quote:
 
The boy's mother reported him missing last Thursday night when he failed to return home after visiting a friend.


Why wasn't he being supervised? I don't know about the rest of you, but when I was 10, I was NEVER allowed to walk between my friends' houses and mine without an adult around, or at the very least, if the friend's house was close, someone would watch out the window to make sure I wasn't locked out of the house or something. They had like this Parent Network or something.

In addition to talking to kids about drugs and alcohol, parents should also discuss risky behavior like the pass-out game, Shapiro said.


Although I'm not sure how that would go...
Father: Now, Tommy, if your friend tries to choke you, you just say 'no,' okay? Choking your friends is bad. Good friends don't let friends choke each other. And if he won't listen, you punch the little shit. Just don't let him near your throat.
They need to do SOMETHING, though, if it's as common as the article makes it sound.

"It's one of those undetectable things, no signs until it's too late," Hoiosen said.


Only if you have terrible communication with your kid.
Mother: So, Suzy, what did you do in school today?
Suzy: We cut out paper snowflakes in art class. Oh, and Terry and I had a competition to see who could stay awake longest during the pass-out game!
Mother: ...Time to have a talk. And I'm calling Terry's mother.

Parental responsibilty? What is that? Surely you can't mean parents actually looking after thier child, knowing what they're doing and being responsible? No, No, heaven forefend that parents should even remember they have children when they're not at a family gathering. Of course should anyone criticise thier parenting they shall leap into action to defend themselves and thier childrens right to drink the bleach under the sink. So remember everyone-having kids in the 21st century doesn't mean you have to be anyway competant or responsible.

On a side note-how long before Jack Thompson tries to pin this one on Videogames?

Yeah, I know, parents are completely blameless. *snort*

Maybe Probably I don't play enough games, but I can't think of anything under an M rating that Jack Thompson COULD blame it on. Although if there is any such thing, I'm sure he'll find it (if he'd even look to Idaho for a case). And then again who knows, maybe the kid's foolish parents bought their 10-year-old M rated games. - . -;

Either way it doesn't matter. We all know where the real problem came from. :<_<:

Wow, natural selection in action. Any kid who is dumb enough to think choking themselves is a game probably is doing the gene pool a favour by playing that.

Cold I know but still, if someone's that stupid, do we really want them to grow up and breed?

Sweet. Jeremy. CHRIST.

These people are fools. If they consider strangulation as a form of mild entertainment and give not a flying fuck for the consequences, then I'm sorry but I have nothing but indifference to them.

I mean, being told is one thing, but genetically human beings have a certain 'survival instinct' imbedded into them. If they are too messed up to understand that 'strangulation = PAIN AND POTENTIAL DEATH', then sod them for living on the same planet as me.

I hate it when people do this and it makes America look stupid. I first heard of this when someone from a school near mine died of this, and I thought it was a joke. This is the stupidest thing that I've ever heard, and the kid was 10 years old too, what the hell.

Who has time for parenting, it's lucky we have the TV to look out for children. And if there is a problem, it's nothing a lawsuit can't cure.

If our children aren't insulated from the real world then they may start to question the natural order or (heaven forbid) start to THINK! Anyway if little Joshua falls and scrapes his knee then of course, we instantly must strike out at the local authority for allowing him to be hurt-Even though we didn't give a rats ass about him before. In fact that's it! Children are now the ultimate financial commodity! If they are hurt-sue! If you feel they aren't getting the education they deserve-sue! Let us trade our children on the Nasdaq for huge sums-the cuter the better! I got a Shirley Temple look-a-like here-all she has to do is fall and break her arm and we'll be rolling in the dough!!

It is thanks to tv we have kids who can't add yet know that if a teacher even looks at a kid funny he can be sued. People asked me to sign a petition to bring back the cane.I refused. To hell with the cane, Give us the Battle Royale programme! Take a random class each year and make them fight to the death on live TV! Think of the ratings. And we could say it's comlpetely impartial, yet drop hints that behaviour of kids can affect the chances of thier class being picked! That'd drop the youth crime rate because parents are too busy being worried about teaching thier financial meal ticket right and wrong they'd never let them out of thier sight. I have done it-all society's ills solved. I'm off to the gun range now- toodle pip!

And natural selection takes place again. I can't feel sorry for the parents or the kid for that. If it wasn't common sense not to do it, you deserve the consequences.

If your stupid enough to choke yourself to death, you should die.
The only tears that should be shed there is that there are SO MANY people
who are retarded enough to do things of this sort. It's not like they are even suicidal: the kid wasn't trying to kill himself, he was literally stupid enough to think that he could hang himself and get out of the noose in time to "experience his high." Just stupid.

Hey, as been stated, it's natural selection.

However, I'd like to point out that, since technology and social order evolved, the stupid have been protected.

If they get rid of themselves, great!

I fear for the Americans as a race as I reside in Canada. SURPRISE! Bet you never even thought I lived there. I also fear the human race will be nothing but (as Eastwood would put it) WANKERS. So many dead people, so little good dead people. :<_<:

Hey, I would not apperciate it if to many dead people try to get into heaven. That's why we have so many stupid yet living people like Jack Thompson.

I'm just hoping this wasn't a case of asphyxeroticism. For those of you who have no clue what that is, it's when people choke themselves, or in this case, have others choke them, to cause a lack of oxygen to the brain, causing a mild to severe delerium as it begins to shut down due to the aforementioned lack of air. People who do this are usually brain damaged anyway though, so this is just like adding chlorine to the gene pool; it washes away all the parts that are polluting it.
