Last year, Lisa and Anthony Demaree took their three girls--ages 5, 4 and 18 months--on a vacation to San Diego, returning with the hundred or so usual vacation photos, which they turned in to Walmart for developing. And then their children were seized.

Yes, seized. By Child Protective Services. According to the Arizona Republic, the Demarees did not see their kids for several days, and didnt regain custody of them for a month, during which they were investigated for sexual abuse.

The evidence against them? Bath time photos.

Thats right. Photos of the kids in the bath. Naked, as kids often are in the bath, at least if youre trying to get them clean. Photos which, according to the state Attorney Generals office, were no better than pornography.

Now the couple, once under investigation for sexually abusing their three daughters by taking the photos, is suing Walmart and the state of Arizona for the stress, shock, grief and depression caused by the incident.

Does it matter that all charges were eventually dropped? That the Demarees were reunited with their children, and had a chance to explain to their friends, family and neighbors the root cause of the accusations against them?
