Space Monkey

Otherwise known as that already touched on topic the "Choking Game".

This has been a topic often but now is gathering more steam with the CDC involved and potentially listing it as an alternative mode of death than suicide.

Be safe, and educate your kids!
If listed as an accidental Death it will fall within the top 5 causes of death in the 5-14yr old age group.

Wow, talk about Darwin in action, there...

We blew up stuff, jumped off things, but nobody ever thought "choking yourself" was ever a good idea.

IMHO, the kids are figuring out "what freaks out the parents" and then going for it... For no real reason other than to freak out the parents. It seems like half the girls in Emma's class have scars on their wrists...
