I'd have to flip a coin on a few of those as to whether the before or after was the worse picture

Wow, some of the before pictures looked like they were on meth at the time.
They were booked for something the first time. So, none of them were straight.
What's up with the open wounds?

Cran, what's with the red spots on the face? They don't look like cuts/scraps, and I assume they aren't injection marks?

That's the same thing I just asked. I'm not sure. I've never worked with anything over 18 and I've never worked county O.O
I'm curious though. Maybe it's because they are pickers?... and then not in the best healing health?

Meth abuse causes the destruction of tissues and blood vessels, inhibiting the body's ability to repair itself.
Acne appears, sores take longer to heal, and the skin loses its luster and elasticity, making the user appear years, even decades older.
Poor diet, tooth grinding and oral hygiene results in tooth decay and loss.
One of the most striking effects of meth is the change in the physical appearance of meth users. Because meth causes the blood vessels to constrict, it cuts off the steady flow of blood to all parts of the body. Heavy usage can weaken and destroy these vessels, causing tissues to become prone to damage and inhibiting the body's ability to repair itself. Acne appears, sores take longer to heal, and the skin loses its luster and elasticity. Some users are covered in small sores, the result of obsessive skin-picking brought on by the hallucination of having bugs crawling beneath the skin, a disorder known as formication.
I guess slight acne appears, they pick at it pretty much non-stop and their degrading skin doesn't repair itself.

For a full effect they should have made them smile, meth makes your teeth fall out in 1 year. That is what my X husband and his friends were on. A 20 year old girl almost toothless is an ugly thing, add that to being deathy thin and sores all over the face.

The open wounds are due to picking/scratching, either from withdrawal or the whole "there's bugs crawling on me" thing that people due when they're high as a kite. A friend's brother was a meth head, probably still is, and he used to scratch and pick constantly

Meth is pure poison!!! It destroyed my uncle.
Anyway, what might really scare your kids is if you could have someone doctor up some of their photos to show what they could possibly look like if they used meth.
Don't forget about huffing too. That seems to be a big problem still also.
