The DB Foundation (DBF) is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization comprised of parents, teachers, medical professionals, law enforcement officers etc. from communities across the United States promoting education and awareness in efforts to reduce death and injury caused by a teen risk behavior commonly known as 'The Choking Game'. 

 

 

 

Since it's conception in 2006, DBF has been tracking this high risk teen behavior and leading the fight for effective education and awareness.

 

Every child is at risk of being tempted to 'play' this 'game'.  Many tween and teens engaging in this activity perceive no risk, often stating "No one ever dies from fainting"  Education of the very real, potentially fatal, risks associated with participating is the essential element to risk reduction and prevention.

 

 

Oxygen deprivation practices are not new. What is new is the speed at which the information transfer occurs. Children growing up with current technology learn about risky behaviors through friends, mutual friends and video sharing website at warp speed.
