=========================
This guy's obviously a perv but I'm not sure if they can do much since he didn't actually ask the girls to pose for him and the pictures weren't sexual in nature. I guess he'll probably lose his job though. BTW, isn't nine a little old to be playing naked in public? Or am I just being an American prude?
