My 4yo Daughter And 5yo Son Were Playing With A Tablet And Uploaded About 50 Pictures Of His Butt To A Cloud Account, Which Was Subsequently Flagged. Do We Need A Lawyer?

Location: Omaha

Apparently, if you swipe left on a locked tablet, it goes into photo mode! Good to know, I suppose...

Anyway, we let the kids listen to an educational podcast ("WoW In the World", if anyone is curious) while playing in their room. My husband found the device switched to photo mode, as well as about 50 pictures of our son mooning the camera, butt and balls on display for the world to see.

We deleted the photos, had a talk with them about appropriate behavior, and took away the tablet for a two weeks.

We assumed that was the end of it, until we learned the photos had been uploaded to a cloud account and flagged for inappropriate content.

Personally, I figured this will be easy to clear up if the police come to our door. Prior to the butt pictures, there are 20 photos of the floor, 20 more of my daughter's face with her hand covering most of the camera, and a few of the ceiling/dresser. It's so obvious to me that two children found out how to access a tablet camera and did what kids do.

My husband is livid, however, convinced we're now in for a full-blown police raid. He's found a few legal cases online where parents took innocent photos of their children's butts (sometimes just one or two) and this resulted in CPS intervention, the children being taken away, plus full-scale child abuse investigations. He works from home, so the prospect of the police confiscating his work computer for a few months during his busy season has soured his mood.

He thinks we need to retain the services of a lawyer immediately. I think this makes us look guilty when we've done nothing wrong. It's also an expensive prospect for such a silly matter.

Are we really staring down the barrel of a full-on police raid? A conversation with a detective where it gets cleared up in about five minutes? Nothing at all?

Any insight would be deeply appreciated, thank you!
