Today's moment-of-pause has been brought to you by Wal-Mart and the city of Peoria, Az. Apparently, some photo-clerk vigilante, diligently on the lookout for child pornography, saw photos of kids during bath time and decided to call the cops, according to a story on Good Morning America.

 

Next thing the parents of these kids knew, the children were removed from their home. For an entire month. Mom got suspended from her job for a year and both -- Anthony and Lisa Demaree -- were added to a list of sex offenders. The judge in the case said the pix were harmless.

 

"I don't understand it at all," Anthony Demaree told GMA, with his wife by his side. "Ninety, 95 percent of the families out there in America have these exact same photos."

 

Now they've got another shot to take. This time it's directed at Wal-Mart and their hometown.

Oh. My. God.

 

My parents are pedophiles.

 

I HAD NO IDEA.

Oh. My. God.

 

My parents are pedophiles.

 

I HAD NO IDEA.

 

You better have them arrested!

Oh, America...

I never understood why people took these pictures anyway.

Trust me, I know. Because I talked to your parents the other day, and this exact subject came up.
