Slightly funny convo with my 8 year old son

Sunday, the whole family went out to run a couple of errands and grab dinner at a restuarant. My 8 year old son (the crazy one (literally)) asked if he could drop off his disposable camera at walmart to get the film developed (for some reason, kids just love those disposable cameras, so when he has some money he likes to get one). Not a problem, so we head to Walmart first. We get there, he and I jump out of the truck and the rest of the family waits. On our walk to the store he starts this convo:

Him: Dad, are you going to be mad if I took a picture of my butt?
Me: Huh? You took a picture of your butt?
Him: um, Yeah.

Now, knowing my son I knew there would be a little more to this issue, so I procede with the obvious next question:

Me: *****, did you take a picture of your butt with your pants on?
Him: No.

Slowing my walk down, so we don't get into the store:

Me: *****, Let me ask you again, did you take a picture of your butt with your pants on or did you have them off?
Him: Off.
Me: Let's go back to the truck.


I ended up telling him that I wasn't mad, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea to have Walmart develop the pics of his bare butt. And that if anyone would get in trouble it would be me, then him later.

Now, I've heard the stories and read some articles where folks have gotten in trouble with having nude pics of their kids. I think I made the right call, but it ticks me off that he can't get the rest of his pics developed because of one pic he thought would be funny.

What's the big deal? I have a couple pics of my son in the bathtub and you can see his stuff. He runs around nude all the time. Hell, he was nude in a little wading pool in my front lawn last weekend.

The 8 Y/O I can see but having pics of your own kid (we're talking toddler) with no clothes on is a non issue as far as I'm concerned.

The problem is that every so often the paedophile moral panic bandwagon is wheeled out, and even the most harmless of pics can be misconstrued and someone end up arrested, despite the fact its their own children.

Its a shame the world has gone this way, but the even more shameful part is the reason why, there are some sickos out there who will take pics of kids for perverse reasons.

Then someone needs counseling. My moms butt was the last thing I ever wanted to see when I was his age, older and even now.
 
go to get them developed and tell the person there that your kid snapped a pic of his butt but that you dont want to lose the entire roll. i am sure they will develop them. then save the pic for later ownage when your son gets his first girlfriend.

Thank God he uttered those words.

:thumbsup: on the child rearing, CPA. He may be nuts, but he knew enough to save your ass. 🙂

Hey I got... Mom, Do boogers come out of your butt?

It turns out my 5-year-old stuck a penny up his nose and got it STUCK! He wanted to know if he would poop it out. Ended up in the ER... Both the nurse and doc told me that they did not think there was a penny up there because they could not see it in his nose but they took an x-ray anyway.

Picture this... Profile x-ray of a skull the bones are all white....and then there is a perfect circle (pitch black) right near the middle.

He had stuck the penny so far up his nose it was in his sinus.

They ended up knocking him out and reaching up his nose with a hemostat to get it out.

I still have the penny in a bottle somewhere.... its my $2000 penny.

When he's getting ready to go to college give it to him and say it's his college fund and it would be bigger if he hadn't stuck it up his nose. 😉

lol.

The same son put a dry leaf in his ear when he was 4. had to use tweezers to get them out. Man, that was scary, one wrong move and bam there goes his eardrum. A few weeks later, though, he obviously didn't learn his lesson because he stuck toothpaste in his ear.

And take if from me, don't ever give kids gum. He, same boy, even to this age will chew gum and then swallow it. Enough of it, that one time we had to go to the hospital because he was bent over with cramps and throwing up. X-rays revealed that his intestines were clogged with gum, so he it was backing up everything. :Q

Really, unless there is some sort of pattern in the pictures, or it doesn't look like all the other photos were by a young child, I don't think you should have a problem.

Front Page:
"CPA arrested on suspicion of child pornography and molestation"

3 Weeks later in the court log section on page 25:
"CPA cleared of all charges"

CPA made the correct decision. It sounds paranoid, but there was a thread on OT a while back that had an article about this very thing. Parents were actually arrested when they tried to develop a picture of their kids in the bathtub or something.

QFT.

I'm glad somebody remembered that CPA did take a picture of his wife from the back.

Back to the OT, do you have any friends (or friends who have older kids) working at a photo developing shop? If you explain the situation beforehand, they could get it developed with no problems.

No, I sure don't.

I may have the wife try it as one person suggested. It may look a little less suspicious if a female takes it in.
