Most of us have, in our family photo albums, an embarrassing picture as a youngster. In my case, I'm 18 months old, stark naked, and attempting my first somersault.

I've seen dozens of others, involving friends or their children. Naked under the backyard hose. Skinny-dipping in the family pool, with the temperature gauge pushing 38 degrees.

A woman's photos of her children have been deemed pornographic by a Queensland court.

Embarrassing for the subject, they might be. But pornographic? You've got to be kidding.

But that seems to be the ruling of an unbelievable Queensland prosecution, where police have taken a devoted mother to court - and she's now subject to an order that requires she be supervised while caring for her young daughters, aged 3, 5 and 7.
