I just overheard a radio broadcast of Florence Fire-Rescue being paged to a 12 year old found hanging. From listing to some of the following radio traffic, it didn’t sound good. The victim is being transported to a local ER.

Eastside only asked the question "Playing the "choking game"?"
No matter if this is what happened to the child or not, I don't see what it hurts to discuss this type of crazy game that some people/kids play. I don't think any of us mean any kind of dis-respect, I know I don't.

It was not " The Chokeing Game" so drop that subject would you want to wake up and see that crap on a sight if one of your family members past. The young man was a very nice youngman and loved in this community. Dont try to varnish his name by this crap.

THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS YOUNG MAN'S DEATH but just thought I'd pass this on...
The choking game is not a game. Many don't get where it came from. Parents let their kids watch UFC fighting on TV and the kids watch them "tap out" or "pass out" and they think "hey if they can do it so can we" but what they don't realize is there are safety measures in place. They think if they "tap out" that they are wimps but in reality "tapping out" could be the smartest thing to do other than not playing the game at all. Also, when a child tries this by themselves with a rope, a belt or tie of some sort -- they have no safety net. If someone isn't aware of the choking game, the might would even consider that a child had committed suicide and that leaves even worse questions in the family's mind of what they could have done to have prevent it. It is terrible for any parent to lose a child but then to ask what they could have done to prevent it or was it my fault or any of those questions just compounds the pain.

The rear naked choke is not just a UFC thing. Cops use it. It is a self-defense technique.
I'M NOT SURE WHO YOU ARE OR IF YOU ARE A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY AT ALL. BUT KIRKLAND DID DO THIS "CHOKING GAME" AS HIS MOTHER TOLD ME. I'VE KNOWN KIRKLAND AND HIS FAMILY NIKI,TERRY,JORDAN,BRADY,& LANA SINCE KIRKLAND WAS 2 YRS. OLD. HE DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE OF HIS BREAK UP WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND.quote:Originally posted by trashmaster44:
