Yet more evidence that Texas is run by lunatics.
Also something for parents to think about before posting photos on facebook, etc.
I'm not a fan of breastfeeding in public. But this is crazy.
The search that turned up the breastfeeding photo happened because the local pharmacy turned in the mom for developing photos of her kids playing in the tub. Prosecutors apparently believe they could have proceeded on child porn charges based on those photos. Also crazy. They went with the "sexual performance" charge instead.
Quoted: After searching their home, police and child welfare officials found a picture of Jacqueline breast feeding one the children. That was it: Texas prosecutors secured a grand jury indictment against the parents for “sexual performance of a child,” a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. The charge was based on the breastfeeding picture, even though defense attorneys produced paintings in leading museums that show the same maternal act.

Thanks to John (who has not yet subjected himself to the agony) for passing this along during finals. It's a tad dramatic, but pretty great. The before and after shots are the best.
