A new, life-threatening trend is going around on social media: the strangulation challenge. Young people strangle each other until they almost faint. In January, a 15-year-old boy from Deinze ended up in intensive care after such a game. Children are too young to know the consequences of such trends, experts say. That is why it is important that they can go to their parents to talk about it. “If you use a pointing finger, it will have the opposite effect. If you have an answer to their questions, they will realize more quickly how dangerous some trends are,” says parenting expert Joke Van Hoeck in VTM NIEUWS.
