I wasn't going to be the first, but...

Do those parents know of the stark
reality of some of these actions.

Let your 10y.o. surf the web unrestricted then act the surprised victim when something monstrous happens.

“Kids did this in the ‘60s. No strangulation but equally stupid. “
I remember doing that once in ‘69 or early ‘70. It was with friends and i remember it as clearly as if it was yesterday. Never did it again.

Hit our schoolyard about 54-55. Hyperventilate, hold, bend over while friend wrapped arms tightly around your middle from behind. Count to whatever, then release.

Dad wasn’t happy at all when I told him about it that night.
Most other kids had similar home experiences that night and so that fad was over!

If you posted information blaming China for COVID in March of 2020, it would have been taken down.

If you posted information about Hunter Biden’s laptop in October of 2020, it would have been taken down.

If you posted information critical of the vaccines in Jan 2021, it would have been taken down.

For some reason, they don’t think children convincing other children to harm themselves is important enough to take down.

The David Carradine Challenge.

He was asphyxiating himself while trying to 'Kill Little Bill' like Michael Hutchence of INXS. I think this has escaped some of the people posting. Just as well.
