Why yes that is what’s next. A man was arrested for walking naked by a window in his own home at 5:30 A.M. when a mother of two just happened to be walking by his house. She called the police and he was arrested, for being naked in his own home.

I guess yo momma didn’t teach ya fool ass any manners, did shaw? I guess we got us Rick Perry reading articles again and he should pay attention to Arson investigations before Procedural Due Process is run amuck…. Oh yeah, after that its ok to kill em because it has been reviewed by all of the courts. Damn fool….

If anyone is to blame here, it’s the parents for being stupid enough to bring naked pictures of their children to be developed.

ANY SUCH PICTURES VILL BE CONFISCATED AND DESTROYED!

For God’s sake…I have 4 stepchildren (1 boy, 3 girls) and we wouldn’t dare take photos of them even in a pool now.

We seem to be being guided towards Victorian-type family photos: twenty layers of clothing, stand absolutely still, no-one touching anyone else (God forbid one of the kids should have their arm round another – what are these perverted parents thinking???)

I think that common sense disappeared about the time…well, I just think common sense disappeared, period.

Right, there are whole generations of people that had baby pictures taken when the ‘naked on a nice fuzzy sheepskin’ was part of the standard package. I think I discarded mine but I’m certain the better half’s is downstairs in the ‘old photo’ drawer.

Next thing you know aging Nana’s caught munching around on a baby’s tummy and making funny sounds will be a capitol offense.

I think there’s a deep-seated need for parents to have naked baby pictures taken- there they are, unencumbered by anything remotely cultural or societal, gleeful in their suds or sunbeam, ‘as God made them’. A beautiful thin and a touchstone to ward off all the evil that will ravage them later.

All of these jerks involved should pay until there’s nothing left to pay with. Jerks.

I have it on good authority that everyone who posts here was once a naked child. I myself was born that way.

Why?

And Wal-Mart? doooooooh. Blastargrafinfragdalickintagdangitfrunenfruster!

You just make me so mad sometimes I can only speak gibberish.

Authentic frontier gibberish.

It’s called “Every time I think about you.”

Stel,
Interesting point in the sense that does anyone think that most child pornographers would get their film developed in stores?

I can’t imagine what these parents and children have gone through over the 30 day period. I would be beside myself!

I hope Walmart and or who ever else is being sued, loses their pants in the end. This is a disgusting example of the police overstepping their authority.

Stel Pavlou- You can upload you digital prints to and store and have them printed off. I do it all the time.

To use a recent analogy, should Prof. Gates’s neighbor who called the cops be held liable for the cops conduct when he showed up?

Do we really want to create a climate where citizens have to fear litigation if they think a crime in being comitted but are wrong?

As a final point: no one here has actually seen the pictures. I’ve seen the pictures of my own cute kids in the tub. When I read this story, that is what I envision because that is what I am familiar with.

But its not too tough to imagine cute pictures veering into creepy territory. (Unless we create a per se rule that as longs as two children are naked in a bathtub everything is on the up and up.)

At that point, I *don’t* want the minimum wage employee at Walmart dismissing the photos as harmless. The Walmart employee SHOULD call the cops. Its the cops’ job to get it right, not Walmart’s. And imagine the opposite scenario where children are being harmed and the Walmart employee looks the other way.
