In 2008, the couple took their three daughters, then ages 5, 4 and 1½, on a vacation to San Diego. They snapped more than 100 photos during the trip, like parents do, including several of the girls playing together during bath time. When they returned to their home in Peoria, Ariz., they dropped the cameras memory stick off at a Walmart for developing.
Within a day, a police detective came knocking.
A Walmart employee had flagged the bath-time photos as pornographic, the detective told the parents. One showed the girls wrapped in towels with their arms around each other; another showed their exposed bottoms.

Odd, I’m not hitting a paywall. Maybe because I use adblocking.
Get a Frick’ing life photo nazi’s!!!
TC- Ya better hide/burn all them pics of the Young'un's.
It didn’t charge me a thing.
Porn is distressingly common now. Arguably a prudent move is to avoid doing something that could leak and be misused. A less imperious government could have warned the family, including the risk that someone, even the kids themselves or a friend or acquaintance, might later misuse the pictures, and then been on its way.
And yet because the social workers were unwise, it makes it easier now for porn mongers to get a pass. Better wisdom by choice than to have it forced by a court.

Well, my parents have long since passed on, so they can’t be touched!
Besides we have a bigger problem with adult politicians and their odd proclivity to distribute their “Weiner” pics, heh.
WP lets you read so many articles per month free.

Nah - this is a matter of not using basic common sense and an over-the-top reaction to something most people wouldn’t give a half a hoot about.
The authorities need to get real and chill out on things such as this. It’s the dumb teens and even dumber adults who need to stop taking nekkid pics of themselves and sending ‘em all over the planet.

Well, that would explain it, since I only read a story there maybe once or twice a month!
:^)
The girls were in greater danger of molestation in the hands of the government than their own parents.

Meaning? I’m not sure what you’re focused on there.

He means that 40-50 years ago no one thought a negative thing about a pix of a naked baby, because no one thought about pedophiles {they were very rare, because if found out, they were 'disappeared'}.
My brother was home on leave from the Navy when my daughter was one year old and he brought her a {tot sized} Navy hat and blouse.
We took her pix with the hat, blouse, no pants, pack of Camel cigarettes and bottle of JTS Brown {my brother's favorite bourbon}, cutest baby pix you've ever seen.
Every family member that has ever seen that pix never gave a second thought that a one year old had no pants on.
In today's warped world, you could get 15 years in the slammer, just for possession of such a pix...BTW, the pix is long gone, it was lost in a flood that also took about a dozen of my guns.
Kind of like the Coppertone billboards, back when children werent considered sex objects.
I can see the need to be paranoid over what our crazy culture would come unglued over. Recently I had some super 8 movies of Vietnam converted to DVD. Not remembering what was in them caused me a little concern over the various “police” that would find content objectionable.
This “common sense” thing you refer to only works for like minded thinkers in your particular bubble. Forty or fifty years ago your remark would be spot on, as our culture was pretty much unified. With the left’s diversity and multiculturalism all coupled with a rabid MSM, you can be crucified for just about anything.
Some day this will all come to a boil, and that’s when we will thank our dear Lord for the 2A.
