This is what juries are for.\n\nIt is stupid and dangerous to take pictures of nude children that include their private parts with or without consent, with the possible exception of one's own children (even that has led to threats of prosecution -- stupid but true).

Please go slap whoever told you that....if there is proof that the child (no matter what its age) is being abused in any way shape or form, both parents can be charged. even if only one is doin the molesting.

Not a cool thing to do, and you should apologize for it, but unless you're leaving out details, are people overreacting a little bit?  If she was wearing clothes, albeit a swimsuit, it isn't as though you broke any laws.  I don't see the blackmail side of it.  Did you demand payment from anyone in return for the photos?  Too many gaps in your story.  Sounds fishy.

It is a violation of your right to publicity and the copyright in the photos.\nThe facts given are not sufficient to show whether you or the photographer own the  copyright, but as both of you have violated rights, it doesn't matter at this point.\n\nI would look for an attorney who has experience in entertainment law if there are any in your area, if not I'd look for someone with experience in copyright litigation, if you don't find someone in that category, look for an attorney who does personal injury and negligence actions, but avoid those who only do auto accidents; you want someone who can think more out of the box.\n\nInterview several attorneys.  Interview them with the photographer if possible.  Ask whether the attorney would be willing to take the case on a contingency fee basis, that is he/she gets a percentage of the settlement or judgment.  You may be asked to put up some money for court costs, such as filing fees, depositions, and expert witnesses.  \n\nOn the facts as given, I have no idea what a reasonable settlement might be.  Copyright infringement has statutory penalties when one can not show actual damages.  The right of publicity is harder to pin down.  It could be anything from what the infringers would have paid a model to pose, to whatever a jury feels like.\nGood luck.

Yes, it can.  This issue has been settled by precident.  The locker is property of the state, as are the school grounds.  It has been ruled that students' expectations of reasonable privacy do not extend into their lockers.\n\nADDITION SOURCE \n\nThe caselaw I was citing was Isiah B v. State of Wisconsin concerning reasonable rights.  I've included a link.  You may also want to consult a law library to lookup the actual caselaw (New Jersey v. T.L.O is also a precident setting case which may concern you involving the individual's right to privacy versus the government's duty to maintain the public health & welfare).  Keep in mind that the right to privacy is not explicitly in the Constitution, so the evolution caselaw on this area is fascinating to read :)

Just because you are on your own property doesn't mean that you don't have to take precautions against exposing yourself to being viewed by others. I mean just think if you were walking down the street and some pervert was standing in his front yard wearing a raincoat and opening it to expose himself to passersby for instance.\n\nAs to your situation, while it probably wouldn't get you arrested, it's not polite because for one thing what if the people next door have children and they don't want them looking at someone's nude body?

Legally, unless it is out right fraud or slander the editor of a newspaper has the right to add and delete contents of an article. Ethically is another viewpoint. I am sure your son was - as well as you - was very disappointed to see his picture was not there. It is not the best choice the editor could have made, albeit it was very calloused. But I do not think you have any legal grounds on which to challenge him. Do something special with your son and let him know how special he is to you and burn the newspaper.

Uhhh who cares?  Did you start a child porn ring during you trip and have them take pictures? Then you might want to be a little worried.

Legally, yes. However, he would need a signed model release to use the photos for any commercial (non-journalistic)venture.\n\n(Decency, however, would dicate that he/she ask for permission. If you are concerned, simply confront him/her. A photographer may have simply found the scene very artistic (kids having fun are a joy to photograph) and decided to take a few shots. If you talk to him/her, chances are that he/she would even share some of the resulting shots with you.)

Interesting answers here.  Especially from the one who says they practice law, but can't spell exigent.\n\nIn California, I am free to question a minor without a parent present and without parental permission.  I'd be surprised if there were laws to the contrary in other states, but it's certainly possible.  \n\nJust because a kid is at school does not change anything from a legal standpoint.  My agency has an agreement with the local school district that we will attempt to contact a parent prior to an interview, but the interview will not be prevented just because a parent cannot be located or will not give permission.\n\nJust something to think about: suppose the law said police can't talk to kids without parents being present and/or giving permission.  What would the police do when the kid is being molested by the parent?  Think the parent would consent to an interview?\n\nOne more thing: if I want to interview a kid about their involvement in possible criminal activity, I likely have the right to detain that kid...and that might well mean removing them from the school and taking them "downtown."  Which would you prefer...a short chat at school to clear things up, or a ride downtown to the big house, rubber hoses, and bright lights?\n\nAgain - this might well depend on the state you're in, and I don't think you said.  If you're in California, take a deep breath and try to relax, disturbing though this might be.  I understand your concern about your child, but if your kid was only a witness anyway, it seems like your concern might be misplaced.

when the accusation has been made even if there were no grounds found it has to be taken into account  the state is responsible for placing those children into good homes  if something happens to the child the parent will sue the state for a boot full of money so they pretty much have to cover their behinds if there is even a shadow of a doubt they will deny the license in most cases

I am not a lawyer, but I used to work at a daycare center and took several classes on child abuse. You don't have to have proof of who did it. All you have to have is a SUSPICION. You did the right thing taking pictures and filing a police report. Was it a center or home? I admire you for not beating the piss out of whoever did it, cause I would have! Call a lawyer. It can't hurt anything. Someone obviously did something to your son. Don't let them get away with it! Can he tell you what happened? People who do that give good providers and centers a bad name! I am sorry this has happened to you. Good luck. \nI would like to know how this turns out if you want to share. My e-mail is carieabrown02@yahoo.com

If you mean "allowed", I would say "NO".  Don't do it.  Note the date, time, witnesses, then report it to the police, the principal, and your parents.

Contact the ISP where the pictures are being hosted, and inform them that they have been posted without permission. This is usually enough to get their account yanked. Make it clear to them that if the images are made publically available ever again, every possible legal option will be persued. Make sure you keep the moral high ground at all times, so if this ever goes near court, it is an open and shut case which they will lose.
