Innocent Bath-Time Photos Get Kids Taken Away From Parents

omg thats soo crazy. they had like no right to do that. everyone takes nude baby pics. wow im shocked.

I hope the parents of these children sue the heck out of Walmart.
What a tragedy! Walmart should be ashamed of themselves for pursuing this and destroying this family's life! Shame on the 'do-gooder....there is a special place in hell for people like that and I am sure they have a spot reserved!

You are right. Walmart and Police totally messed up and wasted time on this innocent family when they should have been out catching criminals.

How absolutely ridiculous. My goodness, how many parents haven't taken pictures of their little kids during bathtime?
Instead of punishing these parents, get after those kidnapping, raping, and molesting children.

They should FIRE the Wal-mart employee. I hope the family sues the city and Wal-mart.

I hope that the parents not only sue Wal-Mart, but the idiot photo-clerk that called the authorities in the first place. There was not a HINT of anything pornographic, it was so OBVIOUSLY family pictures that everyone takes, and I think it was pretty malicious for someone to call that in to the police. The cops need to be sued, as well, for playing along. What is WITH everyone?? The clerk, Wal-Mart, the police and CPS; they are all IDIOTS that should be sued for a ton of money so that it doesn't happen again! This is truly frightening when you realize that pedophiles can do terrible things and get away with it a huge percentage of the time, yet something harmless like this is used to destroy a family. Where are out rights, Folks?

No surprise here. I've lived in Peoria since '86 and have seen many examples of the bumbling idiots we call our city police. Mrs. Demaree was one of my children's teachers and a great teacher she was. WalMart employees I can possibly understand, but trained investigators? Ask Peoria PD about their $50,000 Police dog that was trained to trigger on a racial slur. Brain Surgeons they're not.

This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of in my life. I have a daughter and like all parents I have pictures of my little girl playing in the tub. That doesn't make me a pedophile. It makes me a parent. My parents did it and I'm sure when my child has a child she'll do it. I feel horrible for those poor parents and those kids.

I am coming to the conclusion that these bleeding hearts Lack common sense.One person and probably their supervisor who work at Wal Mart makes this decision and the police have to investigate and they also Blow it.SHAME _SHAME

The clerk should be fired. If not fired, put on probation and into an education and training program that provides him/her with a real world view and a frame from which to make better judgement calls. Same goes for the clerk's managers.

The local police and social service departments hit with a civil suit. Common sense? Anyone?

The Walmart boycotted until the corporation is forced to close the store.

I see stupid everyday, but this ranks right up there.

Walmart should be sued! What a bunch of losers we have in our society. This is just a disgrace that it would go this far. Unbelievable. The women that reported this as porn should be stoned and sent to live in Iraq where it really would be considered porn! C

I see where the clerk over reacted big time, the sad part it though if this clerk had been right about it being child pornography, or the kids having been assaulted in some way, well then this clerk would have been looked at as a hero.
I still believe that other measures should have been taken and not have assumed right from the begining that the parents where at fault, I agree with you guys. But when you look at it the other way, this guy could have been right. Then he would have been called a hero?

I hope WalMart and Peoria get nailed. I'd like to see these people end up OWNING that WalMart. Some politicians want tort reform, and to me this is the perfect argument against it. If strong tort reform laws were in place these people couldn't sue for more than a slap on the wrist to a major corporation and a city who's rules and regulations ruined people's lives for at least the month the girls were taken away. Probably everyone in that family will suffer fallout from this stupidity for the rest of their lives. One of the sadder things I've seen on here.

this absolutely is mind blowing... you get in trouble for having pictures of your own child!!!!! there was absolutely nothing pornographic about this,,, this is the most ridiculious thing i have ever in my enitre life seen.. my heart goes out to this family. such insanity... walmart needs to be at fault for this one... this is just heartbreaking, taking three little girls away from their parents because bathtime pictures... as a parent i know for a fact that every parent takes pictures of their precious children... nothing but pictures to look back on... just ridiculious!!!! will think twice before going to wal-mart!!!!

The people at Walmart are OVERBOARD!!! These Walmart "idiots" confiscated a negative from my trip to Manhattan in 2004 because it depicted a bakery man holding two large sugar cookies w/chocolate centers upto his chest because it was sexually explicit - I NEVER GOT MY FUNNY NEGATIVE BACK because these people think they are the "Porno Vigilantes" of the photo developing world. I guess this is the only way these people feel enpowered since their photography careers ended at Walmart before they got started!

This whole thing is just totally insane! I will not use Walmart again for photos. This whole thing is just ridiculous & I pray this family will sue Walmart & win! Get that pervert nut case employee fired, I feel so sorry for this family & thank God the Judge was understanding although to have them listed as sex offenders is absurd! God Bless All...

I feel the same way maybe the one that should be investigated is the clerk that thought those pictures were porno, if you can't tell the difference your a moron. your need to mentally evaluated before you return back to work if at all I hope you lose your job. your ruined there family and that is not excusable. I just want sick all the parents on those people that did this because we all have photos of our kids in those cute moments. how dare you if I swore and I try not to but if did it would look like this with words !@#$%^&*()!@#$%^*()!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope to never Know you or the cop that thought this was a smart move.

You got to wonder what the clerks and photo processors don't reveal, what they take/keep/post online or at home, etc. that might be real porn.
I scrapbooked my kids pics recently since I was a single dad for 12 yrs until ex wife 'found herself' and returned and got them back, another story...but I did same, had pics of kids in tub, front yard in summer bare assed, etc. what used to be considered 'funny', but got in same situation until I sued the photoshop for violating my civil rights and found out they were making their own porn and blackmailing others over pics.
Today, a neigbor committed suicide, I was out taking pics around house that need city to fix (trees in power lines, etc, we had sewer line back up) and a black shirt (cop, most of whom are ret NYPD) came up made derogatory comments about sneaking pics, demanded ID, said didn't care if I was ret military and cop, and he wanted info in case they got sued for some reason and that I would be watched and to watch my step.
And we wonder how photoshops get into our business? Because we don't vote for our rights and we have lost them to socialism?

Lisa you were right in your comments,My husband and i got our kids taken away by SCF here in Roseburg,Oregon.Due to some niegbors being mad at me.They called them and reported untruths to them about us.To this day my daughter suffers from it.And i had photos like that also And they tried to pin sex abuse charges on us both.The system in child cases like this have to much power.

You're right! What on earth is going on with people today? This is one time where I hope those parents can sue the heck out of Walmart and the town, even though it can't possibly make up for the losses that they and their children have suffered. Thank God the judge had enough sense to know the pictures were harmless. What kind of world do we live in where we have to be afraid of taking innocent pictures of our own children? The true sicko here is the Walmart employee who saw something perverted about the pictures in the first place!!!!

I hope Walmart and the city pay out the butt for their stupid decision, and take child services with them. How ignorant can these people be?
