Cartagena (EFE).- A second-year secondary school student from the Santa Lucía Institute in Cartagena had to be hospitalized after losing consciousness while playing the KO game with another, which consists of letting them strangle you until you pass out.
Sources from the Murcia Ministry of Education have confirmed to EFE that the event occurred this morning when the students were preparing for an excursion outside the center.
Apparently, one of them, 13 years old, has voluntarily allowed another to start squeezing his neck to fulfill an old challenge that has gone viral again on the internet social network TikTok.
Due to suffocation, the young man fainted and hit his head on the ground, after which he lost consciousness.
The teachers, who were in the place preparing for the excursion, went immediately and notified the single emergency telephone number 112, as well as the adolescent’s father.
An ambulance has quickly moved to the center, since the institute is very close to the Santa Lucía hospital, and its toilets have managed to make the minor regain consciousness, although he has been admitted to that center for observation.
The regional educational inspectorate is investigating what happened and will adopt “the pertinent actions”, according to the same sources.
