I visited a Hse and there was a studio photo, say 1m X 1.2m on the wall something wasn't right about the group shot

I asked as A teenager looked awkward. Turns out this lad had died in some car crash/ pursuit etc. He'd been photoshopped into a later family group.

I kind of get it, but weird as hell !!

I can kind of get the sentiment ... but very odd and extremely creepy!!

It is weird, but nothing new bizarrely. The Victorians used to take a last family photo with a deceased loved one. Very creepy and very odd. Many photos remain of posed family situations with dead children, understandable why you'd want to maintain the memory, but still a bit morbid.

the kids definitely won the fight..

They wore skirts to school. That isn't winning by any definition I'm familiar with.

In my day that would mark you out as a tranny for the rest of your school life. Times certainly have changed if that's now seen as winning.

Snap, this is my thinking too - apparently "the times they are a changing"

Totally - a picture like this would have marked you for life when I went to school!

Well, when you put it like that, yes, but I have no doubt that if the teachers took the piss they'd be accused of being 'transphobic' or some other such nonsense.

Herd mentality. If one kid did it, they would probably end up killing themselves from all the bullying.

Lots of people do it, it's fine.

Why would anyone want such an eyesore ... I'd love to see the zoomed out image as well with the surrounding house and garden in shot to get a full comprehension of the 'ambiance'

I remember reading all about this, very strange.

The stiff in this case is the child. After reading about it, it became obvious which one it always is, ... the one that is clearest in the photo, as they are perfectly still while the others move slightly as the photos took a while to take.

How weird

Man interviewed for article said said:

One friend said: 'Stuart's a good guy, we've known him from growing up together on the Winton estate - he'd do anything for anyone.

He'd do anything for anyone...

But you can't let him sleep on the sofa so he has an address and can register at the docs, and a base to apply for new jobs from?

Probably translates to something like "He's a nice guy in general, but after he's had a few he gets quite lairy, and takes drugs too. I don't want someone like that in my house"

Sorry for the quote all, but although is does seem odd to our current sensibilitires, it wasn't like recent times when cameras were accessible for pretty much every one.

I find it quite touching as it must have cost a packet for photographs in those days, and could quite well be the only photo the parents have of their child.

Except they're probably the ones doing the bullying.

When they were on the news they said they asked if they could wear shorts and were told "no, but you can wear skirts, haha".

I think they had the last laugh.
