Arizona couple sues walmart for calling cops over bath time photos email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 88/100. linamachina (257)3 months ago

I read on ABC news GMA website that this Arizona couple had gone through an unbelieveable nightmare regarding pictures they had taken of their daughters during bath and a few of them drying off. The kids are 18 months, 4 and 5 years old. A Walmart employee called the police after viewing the 8 pictures and things snowballed from there. The kids were taken away while it was under investigation, the mom had her job suspended for a year (she worked for a school) and they were placed on a sex offender's registry for the duration. The pictures were posted on ABC news. I was wondering how so many individuals from the first Walmart photo developer onward could come to the same mistaken conclusion that these pictures were considered child porn? and then a Judge looks at them and says they are harmless.

Hi Thea, the pictures were dropped off at a Walmart (this may tie into your other discussion about Walmart) which is like a supercenter of goods and services, one of the services being that they develop pictures. The employee while developing the pictures for these parents took it upon himself/herself (not sure) that the innocent pictures of the bathtime was "pornographic" and contacted the authorities. After the year of hell they went through and still ongoing I believe, the charges were dismissed by a judge that ruled simply that these photographs are innocent. The couple has now turned around and decided to sue Walmart for defamation of character, the employee had no training in determining what the pictures were and jumped the gun etc., or something like that. They gave permission to ABC news to post the pictures so that the world could see how innocent the pictures were and also to help clear their name perhaps. I agree with you that those with small children or those of us having been small once before have had pictures taken during that cute bathtime moments when parents are overwhelmed with the cuteness of their children and not for nefarious reasons are pictures taken. Thank you for the response.
