She said: «I reminded him that I told him two days before the incident, not to try (strangulation game) or see it through smart applications», pointing out that she saw him watching the game.
She added: «I went to school and met with the administration and informed her of the incident, was brought the student actor and his guardian, who seemed angry with his son».
