BE CAREFUL POSTING YOUR CHILD'S PICTURES ON FB

A photo of a child posing in military gear with a rifle in his hands has prompted a massive operation involving a raid by the police and the Department of Children and Families on his family home.

The image was posted to Facebook by a Carneys Point, New Jersey approved firearms instructor, and it features the boy holding his father's .22 rifle.

Shawn Moore's 11-year-old son apparently has a valid hunting license and has received approval to hunt by passing a course on hunting safety.

Moore had to enlist the help of an attorney to turn authorities, who had shown up with no warrant, away from his home.

They had started investigating after someone saw the post and reported it as abuse. Police wanted to list all of Moore's firearms, but never followed through with a warrant, Human Events chronicles. http://joed205.blogspot.com/2013/03/be-careful-posting-your-childs-pictures.html

“He has a Fourth Amendment right and he’s not going to give up his Fourth Amendment right or his Second Amendment right. [...] They didn’t have a warrant – so see you later,” his lawyer Evan Nappen explains.
