A mum whose son died taking part in an online "choking game" has told us the craze has to stop.

Selina Booth's 14-year-old son, Jack Pickles, was found dead in his bedroom after taking part in the deadly craze.

It comes after a 12-year old boy died in Birmingham earlier this week from playing the game which is thought to induce a high.

A funding page has since been set up by friends of Karnel Haughton.

Selina has told us more needs to be done to educate children about the dangers.

She is currently in the process of setting up her own charity - 'Remembering Our Jack'.
