I would like to know if I’m the only who feels this way and if I’m wrong please let me know Here goes : in Brooklyn whenever there is amotor vehicle accident it is lots of times featured on yeshiva world or on boroparkscoop and usually feature tons of pictures of the scene. I never understood the need for people To view the scene of an accident online and all the pictures that accompany it. ( bloody or not) I recently lost a family member in a motor vehicle accident and the way I found out was going on yeshiva world and seeing the bloodied car in pictures. The shock from goin on that website and seeing those horrific images will never leave me. Never. I just dont see the need for the pictures especially since they will still be there after chas vishalom a person dies so it’s just there to haunt the relatives of the person who died in the accident ( the pictures give me nightmares ) want to hear how u feel about this
Thanx

Totally agree. Never understood why frum photographers would take them, or why a frum website would post it. Im also very sorry about your loss

I agree. It is disgraceful. Like Lot’s wife turning back to see the burning of Sodom. There is nothing to be gained by gawking at other people’s misery.
you are right TWLGY, its a hypocrisy that the internet filters allow for this publicity of a personal trauma, and yet if we want to educate ourselves about a personal health problem involving parts of the human body that are nivel peh, the JNET blocks that information!
This issue is discussed in the following threads:

Most posters agree with you.
If more people would take a good look at the reality of motor vehicle smash-ups, perhaps they would concentrate of their driving a little bit more. DMV has programs for drivers wishing to restore their invalid licenses which include films showing all the gory details. So thank you YW for the community service.
I fully agree as well.
How did YWN get to you first? Did you try complaining at the time? Im not sure that it would have mattered, just wondering.
That is so awful. Maybe if they waited til families were notified you would have known not to look. But nobody wins journalism awards for being thoughtful.
How close a family member was this?
I’m sorry.
That is so, so awful.
I think if Yeshiva World and the other sites were aware of what a significant loss you suffered, I think they’d realize such pictures should never be posted.
Moderators – please bring this to someone’s attention.
Regarding the DMV, they can show gory videos to students learning to drive, etc. But that doesn’t mean frum sites need to provide that service!!
IT NEVER HAPPENED. PERIOD. YWN has never once published the death of ANYONE, EVER, before the family is notified.
On a side note, just wondering if Takewhatlifegivesyou ever got the professional help he ranted and ranted about needing in all his previous posts?
thank you for clarifying
