Their job, in this regard is to ensure the safety of the patient, secondarily allowing the public to view the scene. Finding a sick, willing young girl ( did we ever establish whether this girl has reached the age of legal consent?) to photograph is messing with dynamite. Even the young girl may not be the best to decide if the pictures should be taken (although she has that legal right.) You just don't know what could happen. You have no one to lead you into or away from the health of the girl. I did not suggest that the photographer deos the mutilation on purpose. It is in fact his naivete that I attack. That naivete causes the damage, or could. You need to be guided. and that is my point. DO not approach the mind unless you have assistance. John, you may understand the issues involved with your own situation(s) ( after 15 years I do not understand my own situation), but you are encouraging others who are not qualified to take that next step. I repeat.... find different material, know your own boundaries, stay away if you are un-chapperoned inside the mind.. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
