    Default Drunk or Drug Video's for Children

    This is comming from another thread that got me thinking.

    Would you allow your child/ren to see a video that includes pictures of actuall teens/children that were killed due to driving drunk or driving under the influence of any drug?

    This is a big thing going on in my neighberhood schools right now. Some parents believe that it shouldn't be shown at all, others want it only to be shown if the parents give permission, while others what it shown depending on the age of the child/ren, annd some what it shown to all kids.

    So what do you think?

    High school definatly for the kids who are close to learning to drive.
    So long as its a good presentation. I get pissed off when they dont include the fact that its not just about death, its often about loss and or people being so badly injured people cant live normal lives or it can be about living with the guilt of having killed or injured someone too.
    But yeah I think it needs to be done!

    ...sounds like another wasted effort by an "out of touch" older generation. Same as our parents being unaware of what we already knew or were doing half the time. Those kids will have seen 1000 times more death, drunktards, whatever on TV or the net before parents can come to an agreement.

    The video probably isn't going to be any more real to the kids than watching similar vids on youtube or murdering aliens on playstation. However, if you want to show closeup vids/pics of the rib bones and eyeballs sticking out, then that may have some effect. So, id say its not the schools job to show it. Its the parents job to make sure the children are aware/understand at the appropriate time for that particular child. ...imo.

    Watching the news lately, kids that are doing drugs etc...are getting younger and younger. So I put that they should be in middle school (6th grade) and see these kinds of videos. Seriously, you have to get to these kids heads early.

    I say from 9th grade on, every year with updated footage to keep it fresh and horrifying. This is NOT something that should be easy or comfortable for these kids to see. Firm believer in a little trauma now to avoid a lot of unnecessary death later.
