Honestly, they’re talking about nothing else in Wentzville, Mo.
A teenage girl took a picture of her mom and her 14-year-old sister in the family’s hot tub. Both were topless (although how topless is the subject of much conjecture. No nipples were allegedly visible).
As KMOV-TV reports, the mom says she told the daughter taking the shot to delete it.
Instead, the daughter allegedly propelled it on Snapchat.
This resulted in severe fulmination and the mom being charged with child endangerment.
“It sure appeared that the picture was posed and it certainly had some sexual overtones,” St. Charles County prosecutor Tim Lohmar told KMOV. The unnamed mother insists this isn’t the case.
Still, this was Snapchat. The photos are supposed to disappear after a few seconds. How can it be that they were circulated so widely that the authorities got involved?
