How F@#&#$ sick of anyone who would want to see these pictures! "16-year-old Danielle was taken out of school to be home schooled out of fear that her peers might confront her with the pictures."

If you find these pictures on your kids computer, cellphone or anywhere else, you need to get them help before someone kicks their little stupid ass!

SICK!!!

There's a significant subculture of persons that seek and collect such photos and films. They appear to spend large parts of their days viewing and discussing them.

Having encountered this phenomenon close up in the form of a friend who shocked me with his interest, I can attest it's very weird to have someone wish to play the Zapruder film for you over-and-over again for no other apaprent reason than he likes it.

Weird and profoundly alienating. What's strangest is this particular man maintains the profoundist fear of death I've encountered.

Many times Man will Gravitate to what He most fears in order to somehow understand it.

Even today in 2007 I am still surprised at how sick some people are. Though I'm agnostic I truely hope there is a hell for people so sick that they would email this family pictures of their daughter's body.

Why should we be that afraid of what death looks like? Mabe publishing car wreck pictures once in a while will straighten some people up. As the gun control nuts say, if it saves just a few lives it is worth it.

Sniper, re your 1301 here:

I'm not sure I agree. People who are "scared" straight might get resentful. That could obviously go very badly if it happens.

When I was in high school, we would be required to view Signal 30 and it's other gristly companion film (the title escapes me for the moment) at least once every two months. It was also a time when judges would remand juvenile speeding offenders to repeated mandatory tours through the county morgue to watch autopsies being performed on accident victims in an attempt to garner some penitent effect.

Tell you how big a wuss I am--I can't even watch replays of NFL players getting knee injuries. After being a victim of such a thing myself, it physically hurts me--no kidding--to watch it. It's nauseating. I have to change the channel, come back a few moments later, and more often than not, they're still showing it, from this angle and from that one. I also get upset every time there's something about JFK on tv, they feel compelled to show the Zapruder film in super-slo-mo. Pisses me off.

Horrible. And I agree with the posters above--to download accident photos just for kicks betrays something wrong upstairs. Really wrong.

Same in my school, Dutch. It may have saved some lives. Here on the oil rig we have weekly safety meetings. We frequently have to sit through grisly Power Point presentations that include oil filed related accident scenes ranging from lost fingers to crushed skulls. I have to admit, it makes me think twice about the amound of care I take and safety regulations I observe.

THat being said, however, I don't think this girls picture is making it around the internet for educational purposes.

I remember watching some grisly filmstrips during drivers ed classes back in the 70's. Cars "almost" beating a train... horrible wrecks, etc.

This thread reminds me of the Fred Phelps thread where his group got sued by the Marine father. While some "absolute" free speechers will disagree, I just don't see where shoving them in the family's face accomplishes anything except to harass the family.

So you're saying to raise your childern not knowing about the reality of death? Sometimes I think that the young don't think death is real, they think someone just gets up and walks away later.

I saw the results of more than one accident on construction sites and it keeps me thinking of safety in everything I do.

There's a difference between the educational value of confronting teens with the real world consequebces of their actions; and collecting pictures of mulitated bodies for entertainment.

And what kind of worthless wasre of skin would you have to be to email them to her parents? That's cruelty betond justification.

I would be curious to know how many incidents of actual harassment threre really were. I have the completely subjective opinion that the family is more concerned with removing the final image of their daughter from existence because they don't wan that as her epitaph. The tories of harrassment are there to create sympathy. I'm sure there were a couple but all the time as they are implyng but not stating specifics on?

The other thing is I beleive I saw the photos in the past, once, and i was on a board that explicilty shows iems of questionable taste. How their friends and family kept on running into the photos could not have been by accident.

The images had no business being released in the first place. Any state agency like the CHP has regulations in place prohibiting the dissemination of those particular images as they were part of an official investigation, and is therefore responsible for the actions of their employees at the time of their unauthorized dissemination.

The individual(s) that eventually emailed them to the parents are ripe candidates for culling from the human collective. I don't believe the world would mourn their passing.

Perhaps, (says a quiet voice in the darkness) showing these photographs to teenagers might MIGHT make them think twice about doing 100 mph on a freeway. She was speeding, no not speeding, she was being incredibly reckless, does it not perhaps behoove SOMEONE to post these pictures to show what such recklessness can cause? And the parents are up in arms now, but why did they not teach their child sufficiently about the traffic laws that she was going 100 MILES PER HOUR on a freeway? 100 miles per hour people..... suicide by car.

These photos are public property and people should be allowed to do with them what they want, not including harrasing things, like eMailing them to her parents. Everybody loves their cars so much. Everybody's so thrilled that they don't have to haul their lazy ass 2 blocks to the 7-11. Well this is the price you pay. Look at it.

I don't care if it was suicide by taking out a shotgun and blowing her brains out, or jumping in front of a train. The pictures shouldn't have been put on the web.

I didn't see anything in the article about WHY they were released.

Is there a chance these were going to be part of a 'Speed Kills' program for teen drivers?

Anyone remember those films from Drivers Ed?

'Blood Flows Red on The Highway' or something like that. It was 60 minutes of charred corpses and horrific accident photos.

Either way, the people that actually mailed these photos to the family are scum.

Why on earth would people send it to the family of the deceased girl? that is just plain sick. People need to be taught some manners.
