Why Tweet Dead Children Photos?

Was it right for Sonny Bill Williams to share pictures of dead Syrian children?

New Zealand rugby star Sonny Bill Williams has come under fire for posting graphic images of dead Syrian children on Twitter. While some praised his efforts to highlight the refugees' situation, others have criticised the player for infringing the children's basic rights. But is that sort of imagery necessary to move public opinion?

Also, the video of a Filipino priest gliding around church on a hoverboard during Christmas Eve mass has gone viral. Although diocese authorities have condemned what they describe as disrespectful behaviour in church, some believers have said similar practices could actually bring them to church more often. So, is this how priests should behave?
