All these pictures of kids might seem innocent at the first glance. But if you study them for a little longer you’ll start to wonder how modern media can influence and stuck in children’s brains.
Photographer Jonathan Hobin spent 4 years working on this project titled In the Playroom. He wanted to show adults that our kids cannot escape shocking news stories nowadays as such events incalculably influence our society and even change it.
These 12 images were exhibited in Canada getting massive explosure and being highlighted in various media around the world later on. Each photo will remind you of a scandalous event that took place in our lives.

I knew about Jim Jones when I was a kid and I wasn't alive then either. Pop culture references on television and ish brought it up and I looked it up out of curiosity.
And it looks like everyone is really missing the point of these pictures.
I also like that the surroundings are mostly made from toys and kids' eqipment. They are a bit absurd, but I guess that's the point :) And I doubt these kids where models against their will... :)
