8. THE PASSIONATE ADVOCATE
ED4ED –OUR MISSION – OUR PASSION
“Les passions sont les seuls orateurs qui persuadent toujours. Elles sont comme
un art de la nature dont les règles sont infaillibles; et l'homme le plus simple qui
a de la passion persuade mieux que le plus éloquent qui n'en a point.”
The passions are the only advocates which always persuade. They are a natural art, the rules
of which are infallible; and the simplest man with passion will be more persuasive than the
most eloquent without. – François de La Rochefoucauld
Teaching The Essential Elements of Risk Behavior to Today’s Youth is an original
• ED4ED – Education for Educators:
literary work with derivative origins; a publication devoted to our mission: educating
Ed4Ed is designed for all educators but especially for the lay educator, family and
our youth about the dangers of various thrill seeking adolescent risk behaviors.
friends of the victims of these deadly behaviors. Many who wish to “do something” to
begin on a course of advocacy do not because of the difficulty involved researching and
preparing a professional quality presentation. Ed4Ed fills the need for a high quality
customizable presentation so that the advocate can focus on the message to be
delivered and collaborate with others to the same end. Presenting passionately,
fervently with a burning desire is indigenous, flowing naturally, effortlessly. Ed4Ed is a
conduit. In addition, to the publication, Ed4Ed provides support and assistance to those
who wish to “do something” through a yahoo support group. This simple network
morphs into a collaborative environment, a virtual, tactical and technical war room!
The concept of both the publication and creation of the network developed in direct
response to the following needs:
1. The need for collaborative work among and support for all advocates.
2. The need to share materials, knowledge - fodder for inspiration, continual
improvement to, and dynamic s of the work.
3. An effective way to breach barriers raised by institutions, private and public that
have summarily dismissed the urgent need that parents press for youth risk
awareness and intervention programs.
4. To overcome stigma.
5. To be heard!
Individuals presenting their concerns to educators frequently experience a complete
dismissal at two levels, personal and academic. Too often passion and zeal is mistaken for
panic and histrionics; ill found assumptions can be maintained, falsely assuming these
deaths, albeit tragic are of an isolated and/or bizarre nature; or worse an aberrant one.
PAGE 1 ED4ED MISSION STATEMENT
9. Here is the most formidable factor of many that boil down to overcoming one thing:
ignorance. As lay educators we possess no initials after our names, we have no titles to
claim. Because we do not posses conventional credentials it may be assumed that the
subject of our intervention concern is not credible. As individuals we are dismissed - thus
the condition persists! The Ed4Ed program provides credible materials supported by
current, accurate, scientific data. When used by those who have been personally affected
by these behaviors they breach the walls and powerfully effect change:
1. Parents are the greatest influence in their child’s life before adolescence – Ed4Ed
seeks to reach and teach these parents!
2. Among adolescents, family members, friends personally affected by the death
and/or injuries of their children are the most influential in determining whether
or not youth will engage in this behavior or persist in the activity.
a. Over 99% of children reported that, they WILL heed the warning
delivered by those personally affected. Their voices will be heard where
others will not.
b. Youth will respond – 99% will make a better choice.
Those who have lost so much, crippled with grief powerless to change what happened in
their lives, are now the most powerful in affecting what happens in the life of others.
Doctors Macnab’s and Andrew’s recent publication in a respected scientific journal of
medicine empirically endorses our credibility.
[http://injuryprevention.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/15/1/45]
The risks that Ed4Ed addresses are risks that youth feel are relatively “safe” because they
Ed4Ed – Fundamental Foundation Precepts:
are misinformed or uninformed. They make logical deductions based on the best
information available. Their parents and educators may also be completely in the dark
about, or reluctant to address a new risk behavior, hoping that their youth will not learn of
it.
Exposing the truth does not expose youth to dangerous risks. Quite the contrary is true.
Informed youth make better choices. Believing that exposure to facts endangers youth is an
absolute fallacy and a deadly mistake! If our youth do not get answers from reliable
sources, these curious minds will seek out alternate sources, among equally uninformed
peers, and potentially unreliable internet searches.
In this digital age, we are a global society. Insulation or geographic isolation is no
protection! The most prevalent assumptions made among those strongly opposed to
education outreach are two fold, false and outdated. These denial based assumptions effect
a withholding of critical information. Their opposition is intended to keep their children
safe but it merely makes them ignorant.
1. “My kids know better.”
2. “If I tell them about this behavior they will mimic it and then be in danger.”
o The first assumption is invalid: Countless numbers of very intelligent children
have died of ignorance.
o Empirical studies refute the second one.
PAGE 2 ED4ED MISSION STATEMENT
10. At the conscious level these are diligent educators and devoted parents fervently seeking to
surround and protect their children from harm, keeping them safe and secure. But does
this dogmatic denial stem from a deep unconscious subconscious? Is it more about their
needs? Does it afford them more protection than it does the children? Does it satisfy their
need to surround themselves with a sense of safety and security? While intellectually
understandable, it is wholly unacceptable – and perhaps the single biggest battle and the
most common one fought.
Ed4Ed exists: TO SERVE ENABLE and ASSIST advocate educators as they discover their
The Bottom Line:
powerful voices; TO PROVIDE templates and a way to share work among all Ed4Ed
Associates; a way to share it with professional educators and parents educating their
children.
It is a stepping stone; helping hands to hold firmly as they step upon this most powerful
platform. They speak mightily and passionately from personal experience. The success of
one inspires others like us, inspires our work, prompts others to join us in a collective
advocacy objective – KEEP KIDS SAFE – EDUCATE!
All who wish to raise their voice in advocacy - should be able to so, boldly and confidently!

Ed4Ed 3rd Edition User Guide
Welcome to the Program!
Simplicity is the key with our presentation programming.
These presentations are complete and ready for use in
either Adobe Acrobat format, embedded with videos or in
PowerPoint with published windows media video. Videos
are also available in mpeg 4 format, if you are not using a
Windows Microsoft Software.
This file, The Ed4Ed User’s Guide takes the entire
presentation into an overview using a table format. Print
this file to paper for the best overview of our program.
If you are not familiar with PowerPoint & ultimately
choose to use that format, we encourage you to purchase
an excellent instruction manual. It will greatly aid your
work with our technical staff in the development process
of your custom presentation creation. PowerPoint for Dummies [http://www.dummies.com/how-to/computers-
software/ms-office/powerpoint/understanding-powerpoint.html].
We welcome your comments and feedback on the guide to help us continue to refine and make it more user
friendly. (Please email me your feedback at cdraher@sbcglobal.net.)
14. Ed4Ed – Improved Navigation Using “Touchstone Technology & Hyperlinked Footers
Inside the presentations [in all formats] at the bottom of each and every slide in the presentation there are two
footers, each embedded with hyperlinks. When in active presentation view mode, full screen view (the slides
are running in a presentation style, full screen) these footers will operate as follows:
“Individual Slides – Right Click” [footer, far left, bottom corner of each slide]. These allow the user to return
jump around within the presentation using a single [right] mouse click. You will
activate the “pull down window” where there is a menu you may scroll up or
down and from within the window, using a left click access any slide number/title
in the program, switch programs, launch videos, or access any other open program or to end the slideshow. You
can jump from slide to slide and use only what you wish.
This is a great option if you are using the presentation to supplement your own work. No need to edit or
customize – simply toggle between your preferred formats & bring up Ed4Ed as needed, using specific slides or
videos.
”Section Navigation” – Left Single Click”: This is the footer at the bottom center. It
appears on each and every slide and will always take you back to slide #6 – This is
one of two “Touchstone” slides. (Access the second touchstone slide in the presentation, using “Ed4Ed Program
Videos” section, which will always take you to slide #7 where you can choose from all program videos.)
Using Slide #6 - Touchstone Application
Navigating to Sections &
Individual Videos:
Access any section of the
presentation [and access all
videos]. Use this footer located
at the bottom center of each
slide. It will always return you to
slide number 6, where you can
“Section Jump” straight to the
desired section and/or any video.
The program’s sections are
displayed in a graphic table
format. Next to the image of the
section is the section name.
Single click on the section name
and you will go directly to the
first slide in that section.

15. Video Touchstone/ Slide #7
Here are all videos in the
program, in a table view. Select
the desired hyperlink on this
slide [the title of the video, to
the right of the video image].
You will jump directly to the
slide where you can activate that
video. Access This Slide by using
either footer.
Using the footer, “Individual Slides –
Right Click” access the pull-down
window, select “Slide 7”, titled “Video”.
Using the “Section Navigation”
touchstone, slide #6’s hyperlink, select
the title “Ed4Ed Program Videos”
It is no longer necessary to know how to edit and re-design custom slides and create custom
presentations, copying and pasting slides from Ed4Ed. Simply switch the view and proceed.
Plan and select what sections, or individual slides and/or video you wish to use ahead of time,
by using the slide by slide review of all program slides using the “Slide Guide” chapter [Chapter
2] of the User Guide.

I suggest that a new user downloads the Adobe Acrobat Presentation file, review it and then if you think you’d like to use the
program or any part of it using PowerPoint proceed to the PowerPoint instructions [bullet 3]. The files in the above two links are
the PowerPoint converted into an Adobe format. *Videos embedded. While it is not appreciably smaller than the matching
PowerPoint Presentation I believe it is a more user friendly review of the presentation and it is in a universal format and can be
presented as is. To use the videos, as they are embedded in this file, you must download the video files associated with it, which
are in a windows media format. They are located in “Ed4Ed 11-11-11” https://www.box.net/s/zoo45glybjr0bt80qgnp [a sub
folder of the standard presentation file folder]. The Adobe Presentation is also available in A MUCH SMALLER FILE, **without
embedded videos/with hyperlinks for online viewing, without special effects or slide transitions. You do not need to have
Microsoft PowerPoint to view it and you do not need any Microsoft applications – i.e. windows media player to view videos. You
may instead, follow the hyperlinks within this version of the presentation (these links are also provided in this document, Chapter
2, “Slide Guide”). If you choose to use these videos and wish an alternate format, other than windows media, they are available
for download as well in mp4 files: https://www.box.net/shared/cjqxoxa4hc.

PowerPoint is great, but sharing a presentation in PowerPoint requires many little executable files to be in a folder WITH the
presentation [created to retain functional links in the file share process]. For this reason, the presentation is said to be “published”
and must be placed in its own folder – that sub-folder at Box.net is titled “Ed4Ed 11-11-11” – direct link to subfolder:
HTTPS://WWW.BOX.NET/S/ZOO45GLYBJR0BT80QGNP FOLDER SIZE 261.2MB The Adobe format’s primary advantage is that it is easier to
download and manage 1 large file vs. 1 large folder [with dozens of files inside]. Make sure you get all these little files within this
folder. Without them, your presentation will not work properly.
All of Ed4Ed’s data is based on hundreds of pages of research and resources, substantiating the information within our program.
You may preview, review and download this data. (Use the Research Index Guide in Chapter 3 of the Ed4Ed User’s Guide).

SECTION 6: STATISTICS - 82 REPORTED HERE – DUE TO THE FOLLOWING STUDY LIMITATIONS:
“The "choking game" is defined as self-strangulation or strangulation by another person with the hands or a
noose to achieve a brief euphoric state caused by cerebral hypoxia. Participants in this activity typically are
youths (1). Serious neurologic injury or death can result if strangulation is prolonged. In recent years, news
media reports have described numerous deaths among youths attributed to the choking game. Because no
traditional public health dataset collects mortality data on this practice, CDC used news media reports to
estimate the incidence of deaths from the choking game. This report describes the results of that analysis,
which identified 82 probable choking-game deaths among youths aged 6--19 years, during 1995--2007.
Seventy-one (86.6%) of the decedents were male, and the mean age was 13.3 years. Parents, educators, and
health-care providers should become familiar with warning signs that youths are playing the choking game
(2). Death certificates lack the detail necessary to distinguish choking-game deaths from other unintentional
strangulation deaths. Therefore, CDC identified probable choking-game deaths from 1) a LexisNexis* search
63 in November 2007 of newspaper reports since the 1970s and 2) reports on two choking-game--awareness
websites,† which were created in 2005 and 2006. Deaths of children listed on the two websites but not
matched by LexisNexis newspaper reports were included in the assessment only if subsequent Internet
searches located news media reports (e.g., from television stations) of the incidents confirming that the
deaths met the case definition. For consistency, case characteristics were obtained only from news media
reports. A case was defined as a death, described in a news report, resulting from self-strangulation or
strangulation by another person as part of an activity with elements of the choking game (also known as the
"blackout game," "pass-out game," "scarf game," "space monkey," and by other names). Deaths were
excluded if reports included any mention of autoerotic asphyxiation, a practice of choking oneself during
sexual stimulation that is usually engaged in by teen-aged or adult males (1). Deaths also were excluded if
reports noted that the medical examiner ruled the death was a suicide or of undetermined intent coupled
with no mention of elements of the choking game, or if the age of the decedent was missing from news
reports. Cases were restricted to youths aged <20 years who were residents of the United States. Following
are two examples of cases of choking-game deaths.” [FULL TEXT QUOTE FROM 1ST PAGE OF STUDY]
