Chinese parents in Australia pay attention! Especially teenager`s parents!
Australian secondary schools may be circulating a deadly game called "asphyxiation", which has caused a series of casualties in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. Now, this game has become popular in Australia. Please be sure that parents should educate their children. Watch their activities online!
This is not Australia`s first popular asphyxiation game, as early as 2017, Australia has been involved in asphyxiating death.
In 2017, a 13-year-old boy attending a Catholic school in the north of Brisbane failed to recover from suffocation. Die on the spot.
At the time, the school`s headmaster wrote an open letter to all his parents: "his parents wanted to make the information public in order to remind other parents that the `game` circulated online was dangerous."
The headmaster also reminded parents of their children`s online activities.
(suffocating games led to the death of a student in Brisbane No. 1 Middle School)
So what game is so dangerous?
Suffocating games (Choking Game) players use belts, ropes or bare hands to put their necks around their necks, let their friends hold their necks or press their chest, and even rush to breathe in order to suffocate for a short period of time. Get the "pleasure" of the legend. The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that most of the children between the ages of 11 and 16 died as a result of the suffocating game, but the youngest victims were only six years old. The game now has a popular nickname: (good boys game), a good boy`s game, is named because it doesn`t need alcohol or drug to get what it calls "pleasure." Other nicknames include: Space Cowby and Purple Hazing..
Suffocating games have caused a lot of teens casualties.
In June 2016, a 15-year-old high school student named Jamie on Gold Coast played a choking prank with his classmates.
The classmate took a choker, and told him to drill his head in. As a result, Jamie was taken to the hospital, almost dead, and it took weeks to fully recover. The one who brought him choker, though not prosecute, was expelled from school.
(it took Jamie weeks to recover)
In June 2017, a 12-year-old boy, Karnel Haughton, died in his room playing asphyxiation while his mother was out shopping in Birmingham, England.
Despite speculation that Karnel committed suicide by hanging himself, a friend of his parents said: "before the tragedy, Karnel told a friend that he had heard about a game called Choking Game."
After Karnel`s death, some media said asphyxiation was a "new web trend" and a challenge game like the Ice Bucket Challenge, which some media said was "very popular on social media."
But in fact, this suffocating game has been around for a long time: only because of the rise of the Internet, has contributed to the spread of the game.
Moreover, if the media or the internet packaged this suffocating game as a "challenge" to test your courage, teenagers in adolescence are likely to be foolishly challenged!
It`s dangerous!
According to one public health agency, 82 minors died of asphyxiation between 1995 and 2007 alone, but this is a conservative estimate because many of the victims of asphyxiation are mistaken for suicide!
How to prevent
The headmaster of Nash, mentioned earlier, has identified the key to prevention:
"they are children, they do not know the dangers and consequences of the game, so the school to let parents know about the matter, parents must let their own children clearly explain the dangers of the game."
(Games Adolescents Shouldn`t Play, GASP), a foreign game called teenagers shouldn`t play, says:
"No one ever told these kids about the consequences of this kind of play, so they tried it hastily. But when they suffocate for three or four minutes, they can cause severe brain damage, or worse: death. "

So, there are teenager parents at home, please remind their children, and pay attention to their trends on the Internet, do not wait for tragedy to become unrepentant.
