THE TOPLESS MOM

I'm not sure what to make of this, so you'll have to let me know what you think. So, a mom from Missouri was recently busted for posing topless for a hot tub photo with her equally topless 14-year-old daughter. Now, she's facing a criminal charge after the image began circulating at a pair of local high school. Yes, I said topless! If I saw a photo like this in high school, I would have thought that I hit the jackpot. 

It turns out; the 50-year-old woman, who's name was not released to protect her children, and her daughter posed for the photo last month at their home in Wenztville, a city 40 miles west of St. Louis. According to one statement, mother and daughter, at least covered up their nipples in the photo. What fun is that? Investigators say that the image circulated throughout two high schools in the Rockwood School District and as a result the woman's son was ridiculed by classmates for the picture of his mom and sister. 

The accused woman insists that she was not posing at all and that she was merely getting out of the hot tub when the photo was taken and told her one daughter to delete the photo immediately. The woman's lawyer says, "From what I understand, she had her picture taken and that was disseminated. She didn't take the picture. She didn't disseminate it. She's a victim in this." The prosecutor on the other hand says, "The picture was posed and it certainly had so sexual overtones." Of course, he's going to say that. His job is to put people behind bars. He went on to state that the real issue is that the topless daughter was 14-years-old and the mother was present while the nude photo was taken. 

The daughter that took the photo of mom and sister shared the photo with someone over Snapchat, which deletes the photo within moments of its first viewing, unless the recipient took a screen shot and started sending it to friends, which is probably what happened. I have to say the one daughter who took the photo sounds like a real piece of shit for posting the photo if the mother really wasn't posing for it and she just happened to be caught in a compromising position. It's one thing to post something as a joke, but something incriminating like this should not have been done. The daughter who took the photo should be the one in trouble and not the mother, who by the way, could face probation or a year in jail. If she didn't pose for this photo, this is pretty unfair to her. I would put that daughter who took the photo in an orphanage and let her be someone else's problem....But that's just me!
