ARTICLE


Choice quotes of what people said to him;

"What a disgusting father." -WTF, April 26, 2014 10:20am

"I am a licensed clinical social worker and I work with abused children and adults every day. I have listened to children tell me about their parents selling them for sex to buy drugs, about parents who locked them away in closets for hours at a time without food or water because they wouldn’t stop crying, about parents who beat their children to within an inch of their life, just for being a child. Wyatt, you clearly hold yourself to a higher esteem than those people, but I don’t. You are no better than they are."

"I doubt she’ll ever be in a real school, have any real friends, or develop any real attachments to anything because that would be counterproductive to the isolation her parents probably want to keep her and her brother in. I’ll bet the only people they’re around are their parents 'like-minded' adult friends, a healthy portion of which are probably pedophiles that they’re too blind to see are right there waiting to get their children alone for 5 minutes." -NamelyThis, April 26, 2014 12:47pm

"Way to serve your daughter up on a plate, sicko. I will be sure to email you directly when I find this image being traded on the deep web, Wyatt, you sick fuck." -your mirror lied to you, April 26, 2014 10:27am

"Every good thing you are and every good thing you do is cancelled out by the fact that you exploit your children. You truly have no right to do this to them." -skeptical girl is skeptical, April 26, 2014 1:55pm

"He seems like a dick. I want to puke. The nude photos are gross and disturbing." -tunawhiskers, April 25, 2014 4:09pm

"This man is a sick fuck. Why in the world would you do this to your child? Great job, Wyatt Neumann. That poor little girl…" -Ships Go Overboard aka It Burns, April 26, 2014 6:23pm

Insanity.

 

[Magwik]

What the hell is wrong with people?

 

[Macattk15]

Not a child pornographer ... but some of those pictures are a little extreme and fucking weird .... its fine if you're keeping them to your own lil scrapbook, but posting them on the internet I can see how some people would be offended.

Still no reason to call the guy a child pornographer etc.

 

[Scum]

He's on holiday with his daughter. What's wrong with some of these people?

Edit: He shouldn't post them online.

 

[xxracerxx]

My mother would happily show any of you naked photos of me in the back yard running through sprinklers if you went over to her house.

Artistic or not, putting nude pictures of your toddler daughter online is a bit strange.

Tell that to my Facebook feed of new parents.

[Coriolanus]

Seems to stem from the same mindset that finds public breastfeeding revolting.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Jeez I hope that clinical social worker isn't actually a clinical social worker.

A lot of people are proposing that if it were the mother there would be no problem. I wonder.

 

[Herr K]

You're saying the internet is full of outraged idiots?

Sucks that the father had to go through this.

 

[potam]

While I think some of the shots have unnecessary nudity, I don't think he's really sexualizing his daughter in any way. People gonna people.

 

[Kinyou]

The "no parenting cookies for you" quote seemed a little out of place next to all the other insults

It's not strange at all, it's a father putting pictures of his daughter online from a trip. there's nothing wrong with what he did. People shouldn't be offended about this and if they are they need to take a reality check.

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Come on guys, this is some weird shit here. Not stuff for the public.

 

[HK-47]

The paranoia loving media and the British child abuse scandal have warped perception on this issue. When it comes to children, fathers and men in general seem to be losing more and more

 

[SwiftDeath]

You shouldn't post nude pictures of minors online, that's just wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised however if the backlash was more severe than it should be though

 

[JDSN]

I will be sure to email you directly when I find this image being traded on the deep web

Uh oh, someone might have revealed more than they intended.

 

[Courage]

Come on guys, this is some weird shit here. Not stuff for the public.

Yeah man, 2 year olds jumping on a bed are so weird.

 

[Darklord]

Come on guys, this is some weird shit here. Not stuff for the public.

Weird and child porn are extremely different things. It's stupid people automatically assume nudity = porn.

I was gonna say... and especially the first photo in the article :/

 

[Escape Goat]

Some of those pics are reaching porno territory. If not illegal definitely immoral.

 

[sirap]

Dude seems like a pretty decent photographer. Many people don't understand that when you're into photography you're pretty much taking photos of everything. Not only that but that guy's a father, what father wouldn't want to document his time spent with his children?

That said, some of those photos might be too much for most people to handle.

 

[kai3345]

I don't know if I'd call this pornography but it's definitely borderline and pretty weird.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Reminds me of the controversy about the artwork for the Scorpion's album Virgin Killer

 

[Syf]

Some of those are extremely weird and I can understand why some people are offended.

 

[Courage]

I think that's what it is too. He probably thought those shots were really good, shared his enthusiasm and it backfired.

 

[potam]

uh, which ones exactly? I do think the one of her posing in the cowboy hat with no shirt is weird, but I don't think it's pornographic. Then again, I'm not into child porn so I don't know what gets them goin'.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Wait, some of you actually think those picture are extreme or weird? I will gladly post nude pic of myself online when I was little running around in the yard. Jesus christ.

 

[jediyoshi]

Though to clarify, you wouldn't have an issue posting those photos of his in a post of yours here on this forum? It's not like it wasn't a deliberate choice to only post one where she's fully clothed in the OP.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I laughed hard at the potty training one on the highway road

That smirk the daughter has is hilarious

Also some of the background/backdrop scenery he took photos of are majestic

Some do come off a little to risque on posting online front, even for arts sake
Some truly are nicely fit in and do look cool

 

[kai3345]

there's a picture of his daughter shitting in the street

 

[Scum]

Uh oh, someone might have revealed more than they intended.

I saw that. Umm...yeah...

 

[Watevaman]

I didn't grow up around any girls my age or have any siblings when I was little, so can either a girl or someone who had female siblings confirm that it's "normal" for them to run around naked? Honestly curious, as I don't remember my niece's childhood that well but I'm pretty sure she was never running around naked, at least outside.

 

[SegaShack]

The nude pictures and poses are too much. Wish I didn't click the link, now FBI is probably IP tracking me.

 

[thunker 9000]

This speaks volumes about the people who are outraged.

 

[Leona Lewis]

It would be better if you re-enact it now and send me the footage.

 

[kai3345]

Do I think he should go to jail and put on a sex offender list? No. But he probably shouldn't have posted those online

I grew up with a little sister and 5 female cousins, it's normal. Kids just don't like wearing clothes, and would prefer to run around with nothing on.

 

[diamount]

Erm, there are photos of her posing shirtless with her hands down her trousers and doing potty in the road. I'm sure that was a spontaneous pose on girls part.

 

[Lothars]

I saw all his pictures that were posted in that article and I would put pictures of me as a kid running around nude online because that's part of my history when I was young. So yes I would.

 

[Daemul]

Brb, gotta go tell all my friends with toddlers to stop posting pictures of their kids on facebook because some people on the internet think it's child porn.

Do those people get their children to pose in a sexual manner? Then yes, please do.

 

[Lothars]

Yeah it happens, it's no big deal especially with children this age.

There's nothing here that I would think is in a sexual manner, it's a young kid acting like a young kid and pictures taken at all times and honestly I am more offended that you think that than anything the father has done. It really shows the level of stupidity.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Erm, there are photos of her posing shirtless with her hands down her trousers and doing potty in the road. I'm sure that was a spontaneous pose on girls part.

Clearly a satan child with her dad manupilating her along the away.

I mean, god forbid; no other child has ever put their hands down their pants or peed outside.

You fucking have grown adults take a piss/shit downtown after a night out.


EDIT :

Jesus fucking christ

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Even if the photos were meant with decent intentions, putting them online is irresponsible and naive.

For fucks sake, SHE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED. I have no qualms with toddlers doing spontaneous things and the other photos that were published, but please don't push that as off as something innocent.

 

[The Librarian]

Some of those pictures are really done in poor taste. I can see why people would be upset.

 

[Chuckie]

 

[Mr-Joker]

I regret clicking on the link as some of those pictures clearly shouldn't have been posted on the internet as once it's up there and goes viral you can't take it back.

Personally a father taking pictures of his daughter and putting them up is fine but taking pictures of your daughter naked, eh should probably keep those off-line.

 

[Lothars]

Guess what it is innocent? Your pushing as something this is not and trying to get others outraged for something that's really not an issue. Edit: I am out of this thread. I don't get the outrage on this. it's really pathetic.

 

[Cloudy]

I guess he has a point but taking and posting naked pics of your kid is still super creepy
