Child Psychologist, Dr. Joshua Rosenthal, a NYC licensed psychologist was interviewed by ABC News 20/20 on Friday 4/4/14 about the deadly teen “choking game.” He is talking at min 3:55 and 4:30.
This is a sad story about a family who lost their, otherwise healthy, son to this game. Dr. Rosenthal recommends that parents talk to their teens about these types of risky behaviors, similar to sex, drinking and drugs. Talking about it does not increase the likelihood it will happen – actually the opposite.
