KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A 12-year-old girl in Tennessee who was watching a police presentation about drinking and driving unexpectedly saw a gruesome photo -- of the remains of her father.
The family didn't know the accident that killed him had involved alcohol, and the girl didn't recognize her father's formal first name when it was announced before the picture was shown last month.
The girl's mother said she was traumatized by the experience.
Her attorney said police made a terrible mistake. He's asking why 12-year-olds are shown mutilated dead bodies when they can't drive for another four years.
Knox County officials said they're looking into the incident.
