Family’s Home Raided over Facebook Photo of Child’s Rifle (NJ)
Fox News ^ | Mar 19, 2013 | Todd Starnes

“Someone called family services about the photo,” said Evan Nappen, an attorney representing Shawn Moore. “It led to an incredible, heavy-handed raid on his house. They wanted to see his gun safe, his guns and search his house. They even threatened to take his kids.” Moore was not arrested or charged.

This is the Facebook photo that led to the police raid. A Dept. of Children and Families spokesperson told Fox News they could not confirm or deny an investigation or raid had taken place due to government regulations.

“The department has a child abuse hotline for the state of New Jersey and anybody can make a call to that hotline,” spokesperson Kristen Brown said. “We are required to follow up on every single allegation that comes into the central registry.”

The story was first reported by The Blaze.

Moore, of Carneys Point, is a certified firearms instructor for the National Rifle Association, an NRA range safety officer and a New Jersey hunter education instructor.

He recently posted a photograph of his son wearing camouflage and holding his new .22 rifle. The child has a New Jersey hunting license and recently passed the state’s hunter safety course...

At least we have seemed to solved the “stick them all in breaking news” problem.

Almost invariably, the top stories in "breaking news" are mentioned on radio news every half hour. Do they have important details? It's up to the story and the poster for a good subtitle.

I'm not that obsessive/compulsive. I just do title searches. This was the first time I noticed the story.

No problem. This is the insanity that we are supposed to bear, before we snap

Pardon my ping again. When I did it before, it was late, and I forgot.

FReepmail me if you want to be on or off my New Jersey list.

I never noticed anyone with a New Jersey ping list. I'm not from New Jersey, I'm in the Bronx, but I'm trying to start a list for each state that includes a FReeper with a state ping list for that state if that state doesn't have one already.

If I see a story about New Jersey, I want to let you know. This is not expected to be a high volume ping list.

Do any of you have a state ping list for New Jersey? Do any of you want to volunteer and take my New Jersey list with the intent to grow it? Let me know via FReepmail. Then I can work on other states.

Done already. What about my NY list? Beware, my NY list also goes to more general threads, e.g.

Twice a day is rare. It also gets just NY stories.
