RE: Whats your opinion on this?

Im waiting for a response to a child bringing in a picture of their mother that died 2 weeks ago. Is that appropriate?

Sure. That's appropriate as long as it's not a picture of her dead in her coffin.

There would be nothing wrong with that either. The only way I would consider pictures of the dead wrong is if it were the actual death scene pictures with blood and injuries.

Um. I disagree. A picture of a dead woman in her coffin is inappropriate in an elementary situation.

Ohfour · Hooker

What about a woman on her death bed, the last picture of her and her daughter? Bald head, emaciated, but the last picture of them together...think Joey Feek...

What about her? Is this a school lesson about her or something?

Ohfour · Hooker

Yep. She has 3 daughters. Should they not be able to share pictures of her in her last days?

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

She can do whatever. Doesnt mean you get to post it on a billboard at school and present it to the class.

OMG. I would not want a picture of me with my daughter on my death bed but.... if I did, I wouldn't want it shared... in an elementary school... with a bunch of kids who have no clue. What could they possibly gain from that? Now you're just being stupid.

The last thing I want in my life is a picture of me posted for the world to see on my deathbed! I HATE when people post pics of themselves in the hospital hooked up to machines or what have you. It's ridiculous! I don't plan on having pictures of me dead. I want to be cremated and I want those that love me to remember me alive. Ugh. I hate when people use social media for their own agenda.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Yeah to them. To them Has nothing to did with the class.

It shouldn't be an act anyway. He should feel sad for his mom & dad even if he doesn't understand that he should also be sad for his stillborn sibling.

Wow. Another totally ignorant statement criticizing a child and how he should look in a photo taken with his dead sibling that his parents made him take.

Birth is a part of life too. Let's just let kids bring in pics of their siblings heads crowning in the vajayjay. Part of life. I think I'll take pictures of my next pap smear. Another part of life.

Handing out porn would be illegal. Seeing a picture of a dead baby is not. And yes, my kids were spanked at other people's houses...
- Ohfour

________________________________

Depending on the porn, for example if it's Playboy style pictures (while they still have them), I think I'd rather a child see porn than a dead baby.

"Legal" doesn't always mean "right" and "illegal" doesn't always mean "wrong", those words just mean what will and won't get you in trouble with the authorities.

I agree. I mean, at seven, these kids should be exposed to every aspect life has to offer. We absolutely should get grandpa in to show off his hemorrhoids.

You gave everyone permission to spank your kids. I'm not surprised they went to the morgue. Do you want a medal or what?

And while we're at it show off some pics of amputated toes because well, there's a crap ton of diabetics in DH's family. Lots of them are missing body parts. We need to throw that out there too.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Bring in a drug addict too. That's another part of life kids have to deal with. Wait, I'll let my SS bring in pictures of his house after his step father shot it up because domestic violence is a part of life too.

Death is part of life. There is no point in shielding kids from that.
- Lawyerlady

___________________________

Sex and seeing people or the opposite gender naked is also a part of life, but we shield kids from that. Some things kids need to be shielded from until they, hopefully, reach a maturity level where they can handle it. I think images of death should be just as disallowed to kids as sex and nudity, otherwise what's the point? The bad stuff is okay, but the beautiful stiff that helps create life isn't? Is that really the lesson we want to teach kids?

My answer to the "what about the 1st grader who's momma died last week?" question:

Let him bring in pictures of her while she was still alive. He can say "This is what my momma looked like before she died." Then he could even say what she died of (if he knows). He doesn't need to bring in a picture of her corpse, and he shouldn't do it.

No shot required. A 7 year olds mother died 2 weeks ago. Should he not include her in his family tree?
