Local kid dies attempting to get high, sans drugs.


"Friends and fellow students at Santa Monica's Lincoln Middle School are mourning the death of a classmate who is the latest victim of a deadly game, known as "The Choking Game."

Sixth grader Erik Robinson, 12, was found in full cardiac arrest on April 20. He was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead two days later.

Police say he had been playing the game in which a cord or a rope is used to cut off the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain. The idea is to produce a light-headed high, but instead Erik was asphyxiated.

Family pictures show Erik had a ready smile. Pictures posted on a memorial page show a child with lots of personality. Although the school's superintendent sent home a letter with students announcing the death, he did not reveal its cause.

"It said that he had an accident and his brain stopped working," said classmate Denita Kiya.

Seventh grader Sean Farkas, who played ball with Erik, described him as a "really nice kid," adding, "parents are trying to keep it quiet and stuff, but kids are just saying a lot of stuff."

Perhaps, they don't want to encourage anyone to emulate this deadly game. A Centers for Disease Control study two years ago reported 11 percent of children between the ages of 12 and 18 had tried it.

There is a memorial in Pacific Palisades for Erik scheduled for Thursday evening. His mother was not giving any interviews Thursday, but she plans to begin speaking out next week in the hopes of preventing similar accidents."


Sad. I've yet to dabble into this form of recreation. And while the majority of us pay for our drugs, or find other means and sources for acquiring them, I was hoping someone could shed some more light on this free source for catching a buzz.


Panz?

The kid probably pulled a David Carradine and the parents are too embarrassed so they're blaming his death on this Choking Game.

I remember something similar in high school. You'd have someone constrict your coratids (jondra?) with their hands for a few seconds. Like the Vulcan neck thingie. Once you'd start to slump they'd let go. It was usually done as a party trick sort of deal. You'd get a little head rush, then pop right out. In retrospect, pretty stupid.

I've never understood the David Carradine thing. I can't even fap with my right hand, let alone try to coordinate a rope around the neck thing. Just plain whacking off is good enough for this ol' cowboy.

Back in the day we used to do this stupid thing called elevator hits, where you would crouch down, stand up slowly while taking a huge toke.. then someone would grab you from behind, compress your lungs and hold you up. Probably not as dangerous as this, but did enhance the rush.. ultimately it led to some nasty headaches, probably 02 deprivation LOL.

We did that, but with whippits.

by age 12 i had done 26 driveby's killed 3 men and smuggled in 8 kilos of coke at the bridge of americas in el paso.

you kids and your games
