HEAD ON A STICK

Flower Mound, TX

I saw these two young boys walking around with a doll's head on a stick. I asked if I could get a picture and they sure. Then, proceeded to tell me how they found the doll in dirt by the water, ripped it apart and stuck the head on a stick. Rather creepy, I thought. Hope I don't see either kid on a wanted poster when they grow up.

Why would kids even think about doing that? That's sickening.

Well, if the USPS is still in business by the time these kids grow up, I expect we will see their faces on the 10 most wanted poster!
Cool work Cindi!

I have to admit I am feeling sad to see the doll's head on the stick .
Not an average photo for sure .
However , you made a strong point .

I have to admit... that's really kinda creepy! Where are the parents these days? Just give your kids energy drinks and let them roam the neighborhood. Hmmm Nice shot Cindi~V

Very creepy, quite disturbing in fact. WHAT were these kids thinking, I wonder. No, I don't want to know :-) Rather Medusa like quality to the doll! VV
