This is insane!

That is crazy. That being said, as a dad of a 21 month old, we're careful about what shots we take and put on a private (family only, passworded) web site. The world has changed.

The good thing - my son won't have to deal with me showing a slideshow of him naked in a kiddie pool when he brings home a girlfriend. I'm sure the rest of us had to deal with that indignity.

WTF is wrong with the world? Since when is it child porn to take pictures of your children in the bath or playing naked? For fuck's sake! Has common sense truely died?

It's fucking retarded that any parent would worry about taking a picture of their kid playing in the bath. My son loves it. He also loves running around without his diaper on. If he is being funny and cute I will take a picture. I should not have to worry about if you can see his penis or not. Unless the photo is being used in some way for sexual gratification (and let me just find the fucker that is using it that way and we will have one less pervert loose in the world) why would anyone report it to the police and why would the police report it to the CPS and why would the kids be taken from the family?

I can't believe that I have to be carefull of photos that I print or post of my 18 month old son because there are a few messed up people out there that look at naked babies and think they are stumbling. Should we not take photos of animals because some people look at them as sexual partners? This world is just soooo screwed up.

The perv at walmart was probably gettin off on the photos and felt guilty about it so he reported the parents for causing him to stumble.

Expect a civil suit to be brought... for submitting the employee to such things.

He is probably already milking Workmans Comp. Next thing you know they are going to be arresting parents at the cash register for buying their children underwear. They must have some fetish that they are exploring with their kids...

And there is the REALLY sad part, that upstanding parents have to be afraid of something as pure as an innocent photo of their kid in the tub. THAT is what this upside down BULLSHIT politically correct, sanitized world has come to.

It sure has and has been replaced by a 'nanny state' that feels no one has any rights any more, not as a parent or anything else.



The psycho babble bullshit artists, the heavy handed "I know better than you" how to do things assholes and the fucking IDIOTS that have nothing better to do with their time than screw with other people have taken over the world and until people start fighting back this shit will just keep getting worse.

Time to tell people that feel they can tell you how to run your lives to STFU and get a life of their own!

This right here is what is really getting under my skin also. I am just as stunned when I hear firearms owners chastising others for securing a firearm in a locked vehicle because it's not secure enough. We have come to accept far too many of the premises the nanny state has been pushing for far too long.

Then I saw what was wrong with the world, I saw what destroyed men and nations, and where the battle for life had to be fought. I saw that the enemy was an inverted morality—and that my sanction was its only power. I saw that evil was impotent—that evil was the irrational, the blind, the anti-real—and that the only weapon of its triumph was the willingness of the good to serve it. Just as the parasites around me were proclaiming their helpless dependence on my mind and were expecting me voluntarily to accept a slavery they had no power to enforce, just as they were counting on my self-immolation to provide them with the means of their plan—so throughout the world and throughout men’s history, in every version and form, from the extortions of loafing relatives to the atrocities of collectivized countries, it is the good, the able, the men of reason, who act as their own destroyers, who transfuse to evil the blood of their virtue and let evil transmit to them the poison of destruction, thus gaining for evil the power of survival, and for their own values—the impotence of death. I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win—and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was “No.”
