Fainting ‘game’ could kill children

A MEDICAL expert has warned that Irish children will be killed if they take part in a ‘game’ where they block air to their brain to make themselves faint.

It has been reported that there has already been a near-fatal incident involving a young person who took part in the American Dream game.

It involves the person causing themselves to lose consciousness, usually by tying a tie or string around their neck, until the oxygen supply to the brain is cut off.
