And you thought "Blood on the highway" was bad

File this under "What the hell were they thinking?"!
Marla Higginbothem says her daughter saw graphic pictures of her dead father during a presentation designed to discourage drunk driving.

While Knoxville police usually shield the public from accident scenes, last August they showed some Holston Middle School seventh graders pictures of mangled bodies and bloody cars.

They say the program's goal is to scare kids straight at the age studies show many have already taken their first drink.

However, Higginbotham says she knew right away her daughter saw something she shouldn't have...

It turned out one of the dead drunk drivers was her father.
