I think a little common sense goes a long way in a lot of these cases. I would be looking to sue the film processor and the local police. Let's face it child porn is a real problem, there are a lot predators out there but I don't think that a grand mother and her grand children is not a threat. There was a smiliar situation with a mother and her 6 yr old. I guess these folks need to do their own processing. Let the Witch Hunt Begin!!! Cheers. ARTHURWG@aol.com wrote: > How about this?
