Children were taken from their parents into protective custody for over a month, because of pictures taken at bath time. Parents lost their jobs, spent US$ 75,000 and got registered as sex offenders. This is an example of how the child porn hysteria goes totally overboard.
(This is not an isolated case, here a story about a snapshot of a mother breast-feeding her child got parents indicted by a grand jury as kiddie porn producers and child abusers ). But back from “breast feeding porn” to the “bathing photos kiddie porn” persecution.
For A.J. and Lisa Demaree, the photos they snapped of their young daughters were innocent and sweet.
But after a photo developer at Walmart thought otherwise, the Demarees found themselves in a yearlong battle to prove they were not child pornographers.

“I don’t’ understand it at all,” A.J. Demaree told “Good Morning America” Monday. “Ninety-nine percent of the families in America have these exact same photos.”

Lisa Demaree, an award-winning teacher in Peoria, was suspended from her job for a year. Both parents were blacklisted on Arizona sex offender watch lists. Somehow they got off, rather miraculous considering that these illegal government blacklists are often nearly impossible to get off of even if courts order the government to remove people’s names after making special findings they are innocent of all accusations.

The Demarees did finally get their children back without constant CPS intrusions and supervision, but only after months of legal battles and some $75,000 wasted on legal fees. All of this damaged was done to their family without the filing of even a single criminal charge against anyone.

According to a police report released by the Peoria Police Department officers viewing the pictures felt the eight of the pictures could be considered child erotica or five could be considered child pornography.Police detailed each one, “The girls…have their buttocks stuck up in the air and their legs are spread apart showing their anuses and vaginas.”
In another photo officers writes “The next photo is of the girls in the bathtub, the middle daughter appears to by lying on her back …her younger sister is on top of her also on her back…the youngest girls vagina is exposed to the camera.”
