I don't know the implications of the new child protection laws in the US
for professional photographers, but I did hear a story on the radio last
week about a proud pair of parents who sent their fairly innocent snaps
of mother breast-feeding newborn child to WalMart for processing, and a
few days later were astonished to have their prints hand-delivered to
them by police, to whom WalMart had sent the images for possible
prosecution. Luckily for the couple, the police decided not to pursue
the matter.
