Bath Time Photos Prompt Child Porn Allegations

“The eight photos in question were among a batch of 144 family photos the Demarees had taken to their local Wal-Mart. The developer alerted the police and the investigation into child pornography began in earnest, even though the parents maintained they were innocent bath time photos. The Peoria, Ariz., couple had their home searched by police and worse, their children -- then ages 18 months, 4 and 5 -- were taken from them for more than month. Their names were placed on a sex offender registry for a time, and Lisa Demaree was suspended from her school job for a year. The couple said they have spent $75,000 on legal bills.”
This is absurd?!? How could the Demarees’ children go to foster care over innocent bath time photos? When I was younger, my mom took a picture of my brother and me in the bathtub, and it is still in our photo album. That picture is just a cute reminder of how much we loved one another when we were small. It is so unfair that these little girls would be taken away from their parents, and their parents would have to pay for lawyers to help get them back, just because they chose to document their kids’ childhood.
