These graves do not belong to this child’s parents
It’s easy to fall for these types of pictures because they appeal to people’s emotions, making them sympathetic. However, despite the photographers’ good intentions, they succeeded in deceiving many people. Many didn’t take it very well when they discovered that someone played with their emotions and mind.
The truth is, the child was awake when the photo was taken. Also, the graves on either side of the boy don’t belong to his parents. The photographer took the picture to prove a point and make a statement, but they didn’t go about that the honest way.
