I'm new to this newsgroup, as I am a new father. My daughter was born one week ago. I am truely happy, but there are so many things to consider. Behavior is one area of concern. For now, I want to respond to the father who is shocked about the news story of that family in trouble because of the photos of their naked 6 year old daughter. I would agree with you that arresting the parents is extreme, but what I want to know is how do you tell your daughter that it is ok to be photographed in the buff at home, but not in the outside world. I would think that introducing consistant behavior at home as well as the world is important. How can we hope our kids will behave in front of strangers, if they are led to believe it is ok at home. Maybe I've gone too far, but I can't help but think that kids can't make that distinction of how to behave when. If you don't want your child to put his feet up on the coffee table at your friend's house, don't let him do it at home. By the way, that was pretty bold of you to announce your crime on the net.
