It encourages young people to disappear and stay hidden for 72 hours without contacting friends or family, said police. The more chaos and panic the disappearance causes, the more arbitrary `points' the participant receives. The Game of 72 is being blamed for a small number of temporary disappearances in Europe, but so far, no missing person cases have been attributed to it in Canada or the U.S., according to media reports. Even so, the game had Vancouver police worried enough to issue a warning about it earlier this week.

On Sunday, April 19 at around 5 p.m., Kelly Bragg was shopping at the Real Canadian Superstore, located at 201 Oak Park Blvd., with her six-week-old baby Evan Di Iulio and two-year-old daughter Mya Di Iulio. "This was the rst time I was taking them both grocery shopping on my own," said Bragg. "My husband had asked if I was going to be OK and I had said, `We're just a couple blocks away. What's the worst that can happen?' Famous last words." After about an hour of grocery shopping, the trio emerged from the store and began walking to their car. The trip had gone well. Evan was strapped into a car seat in the shopping cart and was sleeping, but that changed when the cart was struck by a strong gust of wind. Evan suddenly awoke and started to cough. "By the time we got to the car, I looked at him to put him in and he had foam coming out of his mouth. You could see he was trying to cry and he could just get a low cry out and he was struggling," said Bragg. "It looked like he was choking. I pulled him out of the car seat to try and help him and I picked up my phone and called 911." see Constable on p.14 SAUNDERS, SAXTON & WINTER Real Estate Real Advice Real Results Wendy Saunders Sales Representative Kim Saxton Sales Representative Ruth Anne Winter Broker Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Brokerage 136 Church Street, Suite 4A, Oakville, ON 905.845.1223 sswteam.ca | johnstonanddaniel.com luxuryportfolio.com JOHNSTON & DANIEL DIVISION 29 Colonial Crescent, Oakville
