Brenda did the right thing. No question. I agree that a librarian should not have to make this call. The police have the legal definition of what is and what is not child *advertiser censored*. The police believed it to be child *advertiser censored* and arrested the man. It will now be up to the Courts, LE, attorneys and apparently, the ACLU to sort it out. If indeed he was looking at child *advertiser censored* he deserves to go to jail. If he was studying male anatomy
then that will be determined and he will probably get some sort of warning about viewing such information in a public library.
I truely believe, and this is just my opinion, that viewing *advertiser censored*, in some cases, is like smoking marijuana. It will lead some,
granted not all, but some to move further down the line. Marijuana to harder drugs, viewing *advertiser censored* to acting out *advertiser censored*. If the guy was looking at child *advertiser censored*, there was potential, and only potential, that he might progessed down the line. Being busted, could have a negative effect on any desire to progress down that line and that would be a good thing.
I will also say, that if in fact what he was doing was innocent, then his life has pretty much been ruined in his local area because of the publicity he has received and that is sad.
