The little girl in question was Phan Thị Kim Phúc, June 1972 & as to the head shot by Chief of National Police (R.o.V) Nguyễn Ngọc Loan that was Feb 1968. Both stark & emotive photos leaving a lasting legacy.

For their time they were both explicit & shocking, but the modern day World with it's instant access to far more graphic & direct pictures via the internet seems to have dulled the senses & made what was once considered not suitable for broadcast into an everyday & "acceptable" medium. As Cashy said, the World has changed but not necessarily all of it is for the better.
