After Lisa and A.J. Demaree bring 144 vacation photos to WalMart to be developed, a few of which include their 3 kids taking a bath, the store calls the police, who promptly take away the children pending an investigation.

The NY Times reports

An Arizona couple accused of sexual abuse after taking bath-time photos of their children and then trying to have them developed at Walmart are suing the state and the retail giant.

Lisa and Anthony ''A.J.'' Demaree's three young daughters were taken away by Arizona Child Protective Services last fall when a Walmart employee found partially nude pictures of the girls on a camera memory stick taken to the store for processing, according to the suit.

The Peoria couple's attorney said Walmart turned the photos over to police and the Demarees were not allowed to see their children for several days and didn't regain custody for a month while the state investigated.

Neither parent was charged with sexual abuse and they regained custody of their children -- then ages 1 1/2, 4 and 5 -- but the Demarees claim the incident inflicted lasting harm.
