Parents warned of dangerous ‘choking game’ after Brisbane boy dies

Parents are being urged to be aware of a new Internet craze that has school children strangling each other until they pass out.

A 13-year-old boy from a Brisbane Catholic school died while attempting to play the ‘Choking Game’.

Carmel Nash from the Parents and Friends Association in Catholic schools says it’s up to parents and schools to teach children of the game’s dangers.
