BAD fish!

[coyotegoth]

Via interactiveleaf: The traumatized-looking girl next to the monster fish has a reason: the barracuda in question leaped out of the water, and bit her arm into hamburger. (Some rather bloody photos if you click to the them all; the first one is OK, except for the Fish of Doom.)

One for the Florida files...

They stopped to take pictures before taking her to the hospital for FIFTY ONE STITCHES?

Parent of the freaking year, right there. "Lookie the fish we caught!"

Yeah. Daughter's in shock, traumatized, losing blood... time for a photo op!

I know that's the first thing I'd think of!

May be a prudent move to document what happened.

That pic on the front page isn't documenting anything but their faces and the fish. You can barely see the blood on her sleeve.

Nice parents there, taking a triumphant photo while she's injured and traumatized. That girl is going to look back on that picture and think "There's the story of my childhood." Poor thing.

In addition to the traumatized young woman, and in addition to stopping to photograph all this while she's bleeding, an additional creep factor is the beaming smile on the father's face.

This is practically one for the "Every child deserves a mother and a father" files on the Slog.
