Raising Awareness for the Dangers of the Choking Game Updates

On-going newscasts, and incidences continue to release information to the general population. Yet, youth continue to be injured, and in worse cases, meet their demise by participating in this adolescent sensation seeking activity. Education obviously has not yet become widespread beyond a reactive response.  Although, there are communities taking a proactive, preventative approach to education.  These communities should be held as examples, both neighboring and nationwide, for their commitment in protecting our children. The National Academy of Adolescent Medicine has taken notice and will address The Choking Game.  This is a direct result of a letter submitted by one of our concerned parents.   This is a fantastic start to a very successful working relationship between The Dylan Blake Foundation, our parent contributors and the Medical community.
