The First Amendment
My goal was to simply email the link to either Child Protective Services or the local AZ police and allow them to figure out what (if anything) to do - not that easy. Child Protective Services sent me to the state hotline; the state hotline had 12 callers ahead so I called the Chandler, AZ Police. Police Dispatch asks me why I didn’t call my local authorities??? After a lengthy discussion regarding the internet, the Chandler Police took down my info and assigned an officer who was to call me back.
The officer did call back within a ½ hour, he took down my name, address, birthdate and I explained the video (they said they didn’t want to see it). I was informed in AZ this was not a crime nor child abuse. It was explained that despite however appalling the video may seem (to me), the father was exercising his “First Amendment Rights” and nothing they could do.
