A Peoria couple is suing Walmart and the state after they were accused of sexual abuse for taking bathtime photos of their daughters, according to court papers.
“The Authorities” took their three daughters away for about a month. Their crime? Taking pictures of their little girls in the bathtub.
You know, like every parent ever since the invention of photography.
[T]here were seven to eight bath- and playtime photos of the girls that showed a “portion or outline or genitalia.”
Uh, you mean like the seven or eight pictures of me as a baby that my mom has in her photo albums?
The couple was never charged with a crime, and they eventually regained custody of their kids.
They are now suing the state, and Walmart, who handed over the pics to the state to begin with. Best of luck to them in their endeavors.
Now, I should mention that without seeing the pictures, it’s hard to say whether these things were borderline creepy, or as innocent as my baby book.
But for some reason I just have no trouble believing that a Walmart clerk and some state employees, not one of them with any common sense, were out of control in this instance.
