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.

    Poor Choices?

    "A lot of poor choices were made...not that a poor choice means families should be subjected to this ordeal...but still. A lot of poor choices. Innocence is one thing. Stupidity is another."

    What poor choices would those be? Having childern, and taking their pictures?

    The problem is people like you, who literally ruin the lives of others because of basic stupidity or evil intent, it's hard to tell which.

    Nothing the letter writer wrote is a poor choice, nor is anything he did stupid. Children go around naked. There is nothing wrong with this.

    That you, and some sick freak at a photo lab, can't understand the difference between a father taking a picture of his daughter swimmming and actual child porn is disgusting.

    Society is being ruined because people, in the name of caution, have thrown all reasonablness out the window.

    Naked child breast feeding because sexual stimulation.

    Child with plastic toy keychain in the shape of a science fiction gun becomes a criminal who intended to kill everyone.
