WTF?
Daddy kisses infant child on the bellybutton. Mom takes pictures and drops the roll off at the drug store. Gentle domestic commonplace. Everybody go, "Aaaaww..."
Ha! Not zo fast, Amerikanner Pig! Kissing babies on der stomachs ist Verboten!
Apparently somebody developing the pics got suspicious and showed them to the police. The next thing they know, Daddy is charged with sexually assaulting his son, and Mommy is arrested for taking sexually explicit pictures. It's all for the children, right? Riiiiiight - the baby gets shuttered off to "protective custody" and his half-sister goes to her dad's place. Neither one is allowed to see their mother for quite some time.
Meanwhile, Daddy spends six months in the slammer before an "expert" determines that "there was no criminal intent in the photos".

Posted by: Brian B at July 29, 2005 05:07 PMActually, the bathtub is usually the safest place to take such pictures. It's pretty much understood that kids have to take off their clothes to take a bath.
This story is still completely insane, though.
