New York's top cop has said the only reason a police officer told a Times Square desnuda to cover up her two-year-old daughter was because it was cold rather than any law she may have been breaking. NYPD Chief Bill Bratton told reporters that he was frustrated with the current situation at the Crossroads of the World that allows women to parade around topless in exchange for tips. “That’s the craziness of this issue of ‘artistic freedom’ when it goes to the extent of [the mother] — if in fact that was the mother — exploiting that young child for whatever purpose in the square there,’’ he said. The desnuda in question, was identified by the New York Post as 'painted lady Maria Diaz.' She brought the toddler to Times Square around 4 p.m. on Monday.

What was the reasoning for passing a law allowing topless women on Times Square?

It wasn’t a law passed, as I understand it, but a court decision on, well, I don’t know if it was based on a law or the state constitution.

I believe it was a court decision. There’s been rulings in various places declaring topless women to be non-obscene. Thus no reason it can be banned under obscenity statutes.

So in typical human fashion folks are showing how a woman being topless is “exactly” the same as a man being topless.

Easy fix

Put up a sign taking pictures of underage children partly or undressed is manufacture of child porn and you will be arrested

Would at least get kid off street

Almost think a case for manufacture of child porn could be made against anyone actually taking picture

or against the mom, who knows she’s taking her daughter to a situation where picture taking is the expected result.
