The video was of man swinging his baby around. Much like playing "aeroplane" but in a far more 'reckless' manner. As it turns out this is common place in many circus families (it is believed this is a Russian performer).

The uploader downloaded the video to share it on another site. To show people what happens, you know like the news do. Apparently if you show it on the news that is okay but if you show it on the internet (even with NO evidence of malicious intent) you are a criminal.

There was no further evidence on his computer of anything remotely akin to this material. No child abuse and most certainly no porn.

Won't somebody please think of the Children!!

sorry had to be said sooner or later.

Thank you.

So many people were expressing disdain and disgust without ever reading what the actual content of the video was. Nice going ATS'ers! Way to deny ignorance by not snapping to a judgement and condemning two people without any facts or details or info at all.

Then a year later I had my very clean cut comp man over to fix some problems and 'those' pictures sprang up! I was shocked.

LOL...I remember those pix. She was in pretty good shape for her age. And yes, once your computer "sees" it, it is there and anyone that wanted to could find it (unless the hard drive was worked over really well).

Pretty scary really.

Maxmars,

Who would think that someone would have such a fuss made over downloading a video that was already in the public domain and used on the news for whatever reason.


I personally didn't see the video when it was running on the news, but from personal experience I have known many kids who loved being swung about by their arms!

As far as motivations for the person who downloaded the video I can imagine that there could be many. I find it amazing and unusually out of line that he would have to go to court to defend himself for having the video. Even if found innocent he will be out the money that is spent on a lawyer.

Thank you for the warning, You just never know what could be used against you do ya? I guess you never can be too careful.

And people go around calling others paranoid, sheez, sometimes it is useful to be cautious when you don't really know where the abuses of power and need for numbers may lie.
