Nude child and pornography

             In itself it seems hardly felonious: transmitting a nude

    photo of a child over the Internet. The story on page 3 today ( Aug.15 )

    about the arrest of a Providence teacher, Gregory S. Mailloux, only

    hints at more damning evidence. Attorney David Ciciline expects Mr.

    Mailloux, a science teacher at Oliver Hazard Perry Middle to be " fully

    exonerated ". But then his reputation is still fully ruined .

          Once tainted with so serious a crime , can a man - Mailloux is

    only 34- fully recover his good name ?

             I was inside a Thayer St. gift shop  a few weeks ago when I

    noticed a book on bold  display : " Naked Babies ".  I was not the

    least interested in the contents. But I now wonder if the sex police

    might be. Perhaps they might even question the curator of the Vatican

    Museum .  Last month  a woman showed me an adorable photo of her two

    naked toddlers - a boy and a girl - in the bathroom. They were even

    embracing !  I told her that the photo could win a local contest !

         Perhaps Mr. Mailloux is indeed a sinister person -and dangerous.

    Perhaps not !
