I don't know if it's possible to traumatize people by showing them pictures, but it seems like it would be, so it may be wise to delay some things for, say, college or highschool.


Oh, I would say it's definitely possible.

As evidence, I present this photograph, captioned: "A Congolese man looking at the severed hand and foot of his five-year-old daughter who was killed, and allegedly cannibalized, by the members of Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company militia."

Perhaps it would be better to merely tell grade school students that this stuff happens, and only show them when they're too old to be traumatized.
