Her son died from a ‘choking game.’ Now she’s determined to save other kids’ lives.

Judy Rogg raises awareness of a dangerous challenge arguably popularized by social media and has dedicated her life to ensuring another parent won’t feel the same pain of losing their child.

"Erik was very energetic, very active, very smart, very perceptive," Rogg said. "He earned his privileges…he had responsibilities and understood them." "It's not stupidity, it’s that children and teens have partially formed brains." "It's kind of Whack-a-Mole. If you take one [video] down, 15 more are going to go up." "There's one part of the brain extremely sensitive to lack of oxygen – the hippocampus. When it is harmed by a lack of oxygen, it may remain damaged for life." "The shame of thinking that you missed something in your kid is horrendous." Rogg said her son was independent, not a people-pleaser and "very judicious about who he wanted to be friends with." "He was not one to be bullied," she added. "He was not one to be forced into doing things he didn’t want to do."
