[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 59750, member: 57"]Gregsglass, just curious but does it say anything on the back of the photo or on any papers with the photo that the child is dead? I am having a hard time believing it is a post-mortem photo for the reasons you find it disturbing. I can only say that this photo will not stay in my mind as a post-mortem. It will stay in my mind as a wild-eyed, over-active child who had "run-herd" over the entire group and then ran out of steam and was kindly placed on a blanket on the floor to sleep long enough to let the others get on with the party and the taking of the photograph. My thinking may be reinforced by the fact that no one in the photo appears to be tenderly gazing at or in the direction of the child on the floor. The woman on the sofa sitting near the child is close enough to kick the child's boot(s) and even she is not looking too upset in the setting of the photo if it were to be a post-mortem.[/QUOTE]
