Prevention of the Choking Game begins with raising awareness among communities, parents, law enforcement, health professionals and
children of how deadly this 'game' is. Awareness will naturally increase education. Every adult has a responsibility, once they are aware, to
act in the best interest of children. We have a very effective on-going Awareness Campaign an accessible tool for everyone to utilize.
Prevention within your own family begins with an honest discussion about the consequences of participating in The Choking Game.
Remember - 75% of Middle School aged children already know about it - chances are you are not telling them something they have not
already been exposed to by their peers. The problem lies in what their peers have failed to mention- the dangers. Please also be aware that
children as young as Kindergarten have been reportedly "choked out" emulating an episode or conversation displayed by an older sibling or
neighbor.
Organizations and individuals have joined the DB Community to promote raised awareness and provide education of the Choking Game
aiming for the end result to be prevention. It is with the on-going support of our committee members The DB Foundation to be a nationally
recognized authority on The Choking Game.
To request prevention information you can contact an individual or organization directly or email us and we will put you in contact.
