There is no good reason to my mind why it wasn't included. Indeed! I am aware of no better story on the topic of children suffocating themselves with plastic bags. If that is what you want, "In the Bag" is it. Sir Charles Birkin came close, but, perhaps in a moment of uncharacteristic weakness, he made the asphyxiated party be an adult. The Times' loss was Hugh Lamb's gain and In The Bag eventually premièred in an altogether more satisfying collection, Cold Fear: New Tales Of Terror, which, ironically, includes one of Birkin's uncollected offerings.

The ingenious proto-slasher film BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) has a memorable scene involving a dry-cleaning bag---but, again, the suffocatee is an adult.
