We never knew of this "choking game" either. We homeschool our children, and have guards on our computer, yet he found out about it (we think from a TV show). Kids joke about it. They "play" it at parties, in school hallways and on buses. We hope and pray our son's death will also save other's lives.<BR/><BR/>http://joyinthemorning.clubmom.com/joy_in_the_morning/2006/09/i_am_tucking_th.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37877540.post-33928732206134197032007-02-05T08:04:00.000-05:002007-02-05T08:04:00.000-05:00Sarah --
