This is just weird - my husband finished watching a documentary about that conflict not even an hour ago. The documentary focused on the search for one child in one photograph and they eventually found him, now an adult, of course. Will show him this article.

Please post the photo if you can. It was a hot August day and the kid and a friend were hanging out near a prison where the Serbs were holding war prisoners. I believe the kids were looking for food or water when they came upon the British press who were inside a fenced off area. One of the photographers took a photo of the shirtless kid through the fence because his ribs were sticking out due to a childhood illness. (I forgot the disease, but they have a lot of that there)

The photo got interpreted as the kid starving and the press played it up like it was Dachau. Then it was off to the races with the Brit and US press who could get a scoop on a concentration camp the evil Serbs were running, when the kid was outside of the fence in the open, and the photo was taken from the inside.
