For Lisa Demaree and her husband A.J., it was the hardest time of their lives. It all began a year ago, when the Demarees dropped off some digital photos to be printed at their local Wal-Mart in Peoria, Ariz.

"It was a nightmare, it was unbelievable. I was in so much disbelief. I started to hyperventilate. I tried to breathe it out," Lisa Demaree said, struggling through tears.

Among the batch of 144 family photos, the developer spotted eight photos that shocked her and she turned them over to police.

According to the police report, photos were of the children in provocative positions, with their genitals exposed.

"Some of the photos are bath time photos," Lisa said, "but there are a few after the bath. Three of the girls are naked, laying on a towel with their arms around each other, and we thought it was so cute."

This is about as insane as it gets in my opinion. The oldest of the kids was 5 for Pete's sake. I'm sure those kids felt a lot safer in Child Protective Services. Rolling Eyes

I don't blame WalMart. The employees did there job and reported suspicious photo's. I blame child services and the prosecutors office for over blowing the situation and going to extremes. Obviously the couple doubts they will get big bucks from the state and going for the deeper pockets of big business.

And the lack of notification of a "unsuitable print policy" as a reason to sue wal mart: puuuleeeaaaseee. give me a break in this day and age naked pictures of kids aren't going to raise suspicion? Now days, get a digital camera and do the printing at home on your home computer if you want those type of pictures of your kid.

from the link..this makes me suspect it wasnt quite as innocent as the parents are saying..?

ABC News was able to obtain access to four of the photos. There are still nine other photographs which were not released because the Demarees' lawyer said that the photos were intended for private home use and showing them to outside parties would violate the law for [url=https://therealboard.forumakers.com/javascript:openPopup('http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=6034996', 'popup', 1010, 700, 'status=1, resizable=1');]distribution of child pornography[/url].
