A 13-year-old boy ended up in the hospital last Wednesday after being strangled by a classmate in the schoolyard in Valencia while performing a dangerous viral challenge known as the “mataleón” or “game of death” that circulates on social networks.
The minor lost consciousness, but recovered before the toilets arrived who took him in an ambulance to the Doctor Peset Hospital in the Turia capital.
As the Levante-EMV newspaper advanced this Tuesday, both minors of the same age participated during recess in what they believed was a game without consequences that they had visualized on Tik Tok, consisting of picking up a person from behind and squeeze his neck with his arms until he was deprived of oxygen.
From the center, located in the Valencian neighborhood of Patraix, a circular has been sent to parents to alert them to the danger of these fashions that can end in tragedy, while teachers have done the same in the classrooms.
