We just lost our 15 yr old son due to this "game

Hello we are the parents of Erich Winters, a 15 year old boy who died on December 18th  by playing the "Choking Game" or "Space Monkey" by himself. He was found by his 13 year old brother who walked in only to see a belt around his neck that was tied to the top bunk bed. Erich's knees were on the ground still and he was leaning in to the bottom bunk. We would like to share our story with the entire nation and inform parents that this is not a game but a deadly trend that must be talked about. Please if anyone has questions or comments please email us at erichsstory@yahoo.com . Thank You for the show.          Sincerely, Robert and Christine Pedrosa

re: Thank you for the show

It's very shocking for a 13 year old to find a family member dead...and to find that someone died from such game. Here's a thought provoker...if this is dangerous enough to kill someone, why is it called a game? Game's are suppose to be fun, right? Not lead to death. 

Another thing is a lot of people have lost someone to this "game"...And it is sad. I can't imagine such a situation. Although, what's "Thank You for the show" mean? That's what confuses me...Dr.Phil's show? (@.@)--i'm confused... 

Hi what i meant is thank you for getting the information out into the airwaves that this is a deadly "decision" and parents need to be informed about it. Dr. Phils show decided that this was a topic that needed to be discussed so what i was saying was thank you for your decision to air this show and educate parents and children on this deadly "game". And I agree with you about this not being a "game" but some kids think it is a game and don't understand the deadly results of it.

Sarah could you please help

Quote From: pacatte

   It is my hope that when this show airs, teachers, school administrators,doctors, medical examiners and coroners will start to take this seriously: I pray that teachers and school administrators especially, will start to warn and educate about this deadly game. It would be a small matter for them to include warning and educating about this thrill seeking 

(LtoR Samuel,Me,Elizabeth,Arthur and Gabriel...We miss him.) behavior into pre existing curriculam such as 'drug awareness' 'red ribbion week', etc.  I wish I had known this game killed and continues to kill children. There have been five other deaths from this game since Gabriel's in May of 2005. 

  Thank you Dr. Phil for seeing the urgency and importance of informing the public. Thank you so much Amy, Gaylin and Astra for sticking it out with us. Russell, oh you sweet man you! Thank you for being so kind to Samuel... I will always be grateful that it was this group of people who worked with us! 

   Much fondness and,

Hi Sarah 

 First We would like to say I am very sorry for your loss of Gabriel. I would also share with you that we also know how you feel, we just lost our 15 tear old son Erich Winters to the same "game". He was also found by his brother and your story is exactly similar to ours all the way down to the bunkbed and a belt. What we are asking is how do you get through each day. What are some of the steps that you are taking to move on. Please due to the striking similarities of our stories we would like to talk to you. My wife is having a very very hard time with this and i feel that you could have some encouraging words for her so please contact us at erichsstory@yahoo.com  please... 

 Thank you very much for your time and again our Heart, Thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your son.         Sincerely, Robert and Christine Pedrosa
