Couple Sues Wal-Mart
| Mon, 09-21-2009 - 9:48am |
I saw this on Good Morning America this morning. I think Wal-Mart should have their pants sued off of them! This is ridiculous. Think twice before taking any cute half nude pictures of your children and taking them some place to be developed. None of the pictures shown were child porn. Stupid Wal-Mart!

Not following you here. First you say that Wal-mart should have sued the pants of 'them'. Then you say "stupid Wal-Mart".
So are you FOR Wal-Mart (meaning you agree with what they did) or are you FOR the parents (meaning they did nothing wrong)?

Read the first sentence above again.
I think the real victims here are the children. It is a traumatic experience

Call me cynical but I've seen enough Datelines (and I don't even tune in to watch it) about child pornographers/pedophiles that I do believe some would be dumb enough to take their pictures to Wal Mart, or wherever to have their pictures developed. Stupid people commit stupid crimes but that doesn't mean we should pretend they don't exist. Of course there are ways around it and child pornography is, sadly, a booming business, because of it. But some people will stick to the good old fashioned pictures, for whatever reason. Just do a google search and you'll find crime reports for it.
I think Wal-Mart does have an obligation to pass on anything and not make the judgement themselves. I do think the system needs to be changed but the question is, given there is a possibility that parents might be perpetrators in any kind of abuse, would you rather treat all as innocent and possibly leave a child in a household that was abusive, or do the opposite extreme? I don't know how I feel about either. On one hand, when they've assumed innocence and the child has died (and that happened in my area recently with a couple of families), there is an uproar. On the other hand, when something like this happens, people also complain. Ideally, it could be handled much more quickly and less detrimentally than this. At the same time, these departments are understaffed and social workers are working overtime to get what they can done. It's a no-win situation.
