After seeing the Jan Van Eyck painting, I agree there's nothing pornographic about the portrayal of a mother feeding her child. In most cultures it would be viewed as a sign of the closeness of the mother and her offspring. Consistency here as in everything else is the hobgoblin of small minds. The parents didn't do anything wrong to be hauled into court and to have their family violently torn apart by the State Of Texas. No one was interested in listening to their side of the story. Every one from the get go simply assumed the worst and that's how the ball rolled downhill, simply because some idiot misinterpreted an innocent picture as a sign of something depraved going on in a home.

In one of the airports in Hawaii there is a mural with a mother breastfeeding her infant. So who should they arrest over that? And of course everone knows that the kiddie porn people have their film developed at the local drug store. /sarcasm
