Speedy makes a point though - it can be about the guy that has access to the photos and what they might do.
The parents are most certainly innocent and do not deserve any grief about them though.
A friend runs a local color lab and he did all the work for the local police and sheriffs office. a few years back
he found out the hard way (detectives showing up) that one of his trusted employees was making copies of the
crime scene photos they were trusted to process (murders, suicides etc ...) and had several large binders full.
Apparently there is/was a group of "collectors" of such images. Just goes to show you I guess.
A quick side story - when I was in high school I sold cameras and we had send out processing (pre-dated 1 Hour service)
On a very regular basis someone would drop off a roll of film and ask for assurance that the lab would print everything
We would assure them that yes, it was going to a huge lab and photos were unseen by humans for the most part.
Of course we would make a mental note of the customer and the employees would be sure to check the photos
out when they were returned from the lab. Some of those folks really needed a Polaroid.
