Are your children playing the "choking game?"

As noted in today's article by Sam Spies, it's believed to be how Enloe High student Kris Marceno died earlier this month. While Wake school officials say it's not "prevalent" in this area, the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention warns that 82 kids have died nationwide playing it since 1995.

This "game" involves strangling yourself to cut off the flow of oxygen to the brain. While it can produce a state of euphoria, it can lead to death if you pass out.
