Another unsettling PSA showing a dead kid

One way to do child-safety PSAs is to go negative and depict the results of unsafe behavior: a dead or mutilated child. The classic example is the gruesome car-windshield campaign from New Zealand.

He’s right there, with the freaked-out look on his face. Via Disruption.
