We are a group of relatives of victims of the Choking Game. Our association aims to provide aid and comfort to families who are in the same situation as us.
We wish to inform and prevent the dangers of Choking Game and its derivatives youth, families, educators, health and justice.
Our only desire is that no one living the nightmare that we lived, that no child or young person dies from the practice of a stupid game that he knew or believed in danger.

APEAS INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM 2009
Choking Game and other Pass Out Games : phenomenon, consequences and prevention
new release : Publication of proceedings of the international APEAS symposium
col_actes3-1col_actes3-4
Paris, December 3rd and 4th, 2009
It happens that children and teenagers "play" fainting "games". It also happens that those "games" end tragically and cause irreversible brain injury, severe disability and death. Young persons are not conscious of the gravity of the risk they take. Their parents are completely unaware of its existence or categorically deny that such a thing could happen to their child.
In order to define, understand and prevent engagement in this activity, APEAS will host, facilitate and coordinate this international symposium. During the event scientists, conducting research, taking action and analyzing this subject matter will present their findings. Professionals from around the world, dealing directly with the health and safety of our youth will join us as well as parents, whose children have tragically died as a result of this activity.

The first day will focus on the difficulty to set a definition of the various practices, mechanical means, variations of methods used when youth engage in "choking games" identified up to now. It will also review the data of reported incidents. Presentations evaluating and explaining the anatomical and physiological mechanism of the activity and how it affects the physical body will be discussed. The topic of motivational factors prompting our youth to engage in this activity will be explored. Further review and discussion of the psychological, sociological and anthropological points will illuminate how and why this activity persists in our communities amongst our youth.

The second day will give a global vision on the different means of information and prevention implemented in different countries, expounding on current and developing strategies, cooperative efforts leading to new and improved efficient actions of prevention on national and international platforms.
