I got this story which appeared in The Dallas Observer from K5

Basically a family had their children taken off them because according to the prosecutors Breastfeeding was equivalent to sex.

Their most pressing problem was the breast-feeding picture, which the indictment characterized as sexual, “to wit; actual lewd exhibition of…a portion of the female breast below the top of the areola, and the said defendant did and then employ, authorize and induce Rodrigo Fernandez, a child younger than 18 years of age [1 year old, E.M.], to engage in said sexual conduct and sexual performance.” In other words, says Chatham, the act of simulated breast-feeding, captured on film, was being portrayed as a sex act. “They’re saying the guy who took the picture is a sicko and wanted a photo of this to satisfy his sexual desire.

Un-bloody-believable, has the world got so screwed up and have people become so fearful of child predators that innocence is gone. My god, there are naked pictures of me as a kid around the house, were my parents a danger to me?
