Umm...some agents and/or prosecutors are inclined to charge for violations on the thinnest of pretexts, e.g.: a nudie picture of a grandchild, just to 'break' the irritator, financially or mentally.

This is currently happening to a friend. They don't play fair. Cut the guy the benefit of the doubt. They destroy people, sometimes.

Agreed. I WHOLEHEARTILY concur that innocence until proven guilty is paramount.
One of these children is a teenager who they found, the other he confessed to and told them the childs name. Both were patients of his at the time.

Ditto. A guy I know is in a similar situation. His wife was using the computer and apparently some sort of underage site popped up. She immediately jumped on him and called the police. He was removed from the home that night, and now only gets to see his kids under supervised visits. She's divorcing him, and he's lost almost everything, including his business. He's never been charged with any crime, yet he's lost almost his entire life. That being said, the guy's still in good spirits. I doubt I'd be able to handle his situation as well as he has. That, and the fact that he's not afraid to talk about what happened. He knows he got screwed over bigtime, and anyone who knows the guy knows it too. What a shame. I'm all for protecting children from predators, but there are far too many times where people go way, way overboard under the guise of 'protecting the children'.

My brother emailed me a naked photo of my nephew once.
He was around 4 and wanted to "dress himself" to go out.
When he came downstairs, he was carrying a football & wearing his cowboy hat & boots....nothing else. He looked so darn cute. That photo will be shown to him when he's older for lots of laughs. I'd post it here, but don't want to get FR in trouble for kiddie porn....
