They called me a child pornographer

I took some photos of my kids naked on a camping trip. A drugstore employee called the police -- and my family's life became a living hell.

    read slowly next time

    to the bright sparks who misread the article: the author has 2 daughters and 1 son. both his daughters went on the camping trip: the 3-year-old girl was skinnydipping in the pictures and the 8-year-old boy was shown drying his underwear by the campfire. one of the other family's children, a girl, was in a picture holding a broken beer bottle she had found. the author states on page 3 that these were among the six photos (out of an entire roll) that the police turned over to DFCS. so, no, one 3-year-old girl did not go camping with a horde of males who would have surely ravished her.

    it's all there in the article, folks. if you hadn't read it so fast (why, were you rushing/hoping to get to the dirty parts?), you would have got your facts straight before submitting a LTTE on the internet. in fact, as i was writing this, i referred back to the article in question several times to make sure i was getting my facts correct. y'know, FACTS. so i don't open my mouth and say something stupid in front of the entire internet.
