I'm with feelgood and Johnny Pyro...
This is ludicrous. Not just the practice of showing the graphic pictures, but also the sheer apathy some of the above posters have shown.
I'd like to see one of these "insensitive jerks" trying to tell this girl to her face that she is better off having seen her father that way. Perhaps The Anonymity of The Internet allows for such boorish statements?
Why do they even ask kids in the room if they know the names of the dead? Does it matter if they know them or not? What- they don't count as real HUMANS if they have a name nobody recognizes? Do the dead PEOPLE not have families who once loved them? Even if they were drunk, stupid, ignorant, or all of the above, they were still once a person with a soul just like you and me.
Accident scene photos are meant for analysis and scientific investigations to determine why things happened the way they did- NOT for scaring (and scarring) children.
Now that I think of it, maybe those insensitive posters were are actually desensitized and can no longer see the absurdity. Don't get me wrong, I respect an opinion, but I am really puzzled at how someone can have such ill regard for the sanctity of human life.
There are a TON of other ways to educate kids and to prevent drunk driving. This case clearly involves a flagrant lack of imagination.
By the way, if they can show mutilated corpses in school, I certainly hope they can to show two people having sex as well. (Rhetorically speaking, that is. I already know the answer is "No," they can't show two people in love, procreating. The reasoning behind that belongs in a whole other thread, though.)
Ridiculous. Utterly Ridiculous.
