A Moment In Time Photography Blog by Ginger Moseley. North Carolina Wedding and Portrait Photographers

I know I'm in the middle of organizational talk, but last night at our school we had a meeting that was sad and truly tragic. Recently a girl in our county died....at the age of 13. She was playing the choking game. Now I had never heard of such a thing, but it's real and our kids know of it. They most likely know someone who is playing it, if they aren't doing it themselves. I encourage all parents to take a moment to google the choking game and get up to speed on this behavior. It's not a warm and fuzzy topic at all, but you need to know what it is and what to look for. Once I knew of it, I began finding out of other children that I know of who had died or nearly died of this activity. PLEASE do not ignore this warning if this is new to you. You can handle it and you can be a force in your child's life. Much better than standing by and losing them! A site that has a simple explanation of the 'game' (I hate calling it that because it's anything but) is GASP (Games Adolescents Shouldn't Play). Take a look and then talk to your child. This is important ( a true Quad I activity).
