If these photos keep others from speeding-then something good comes from the death of this child. If she took a car, sped, wrecked and died that is her responsibility. Money from CHP will not bring her back, her parents should have been more careful with the keys. Sue the emailers not the CHP, or let the photos be used to stop other teens from pulling a similar stunt. Stop the lawsuit, it will not bring this child back and makes the parents look greedy.
