Are bath-time photos child pornography?

This story, taken at face value, is abominable. I can’t believe that there are too many families who don’t have pictures of their children without clothes on. I certainly have some of Ainsley. In fact, I have one, that I would normally share (but won’t in a post about how someone else got reamed so badly for similar photos) of her taking a bath in her rubber ducky bathtub. It’s adorable and I’m sure it will be a great photo for family memories down the line.

I think it’s amazing that so many people could be involved in a prosecution of something so instinctively normal to parents. Perhaps that means that there was more to this specific case, but it’s still off-putting to me.
