Well...First to start a thread here. Just wondered what others thought of this situation.
Oh, King, eh? And how'd you get that? By exploiting the worker!

Interesting story, but I don't feel it was porn. Kids are naturally curious and like to do the forbidden?
shareI distinctly remember my mother freaking out when she found my siblings and me jumping around on our bed naked or in our underwear taking pictures of each other. She yelled at us, told us she could get sent to prison if the police found those pictures in our house, and then she destroyed the negatives.
My guess is that she read or saw a news story exactly like the one portrayed in this movie.

I think the entire situation was blown out of proportion. My cousins, siblings, and I used to take pictures of each other whenever we got together. One summer my cousin got this bold idea to pull her top down (she was 8 years old then) and I snapped the photo. Then my nephew (3 at the time) pulled up his t-shirt to hide his face away from me as I was taking a picture of him and he wasn't wearing underwear, lol.
We took it to Wal-Mart to be developed and no one said a thing. I was just ten at the time and when my mom just laughed. There was no investigation or anything. Looking back at it now (at 21) I would have never had those pics developed. People have such dirty minds they could've turned my parents in.
The innocence of children is truly profound. In no way did I find those pictures sexual.

Seven years later I'll add my two cents.
I feel for your mom. I watched about 15 mins of this movie and quit because my blood pressure was going through the roof.
About 10 years ago my boy and family lived in Monroeville, AL. One night a buddy of his 8-year-old boy slept over. Around midnight they snuck out the bedroom window and walked into town, playing "detective". About 1 a.m. there's a knock on the door - a policeman with the kids in tow. It seems they were shining a flashlight into stores looking "looking for burglars". The officer let turned them over to my boy, who read them the riot act.
Next day a big burly guy from Child Protective Services shows up and begins interrogating my boy. WTF??? He asks how the kids got out and my boy said they went out the bedroom window. "So", the guy says, "You left your children unattended." My boy threw him out with the lingering threat being the kids would be taken away. Scared Hell out of the wife. Luckily, she knew the wife of the mayor and so nothing ever came of it, but they left that town as soon as they could.
The CPA and their ilk are just like Big Brother now, FAR too intrusive, with FAR too much power. They are people who have a solution and are looking for a problem - any problem - so they can justify their jobs. This movie reminded me of that time and I had to stop.
