About "NAKED TRUTHS"

Innocent Photo or Child Pornography?


The Author, age 7 1/2

"Naked Truths"  is not a book for the faint of heart. It is a book for those who want to know the realities behind the "injustice" system:

Where it is not illegal for your own lawyer to lie to you; Where "evidence" is misplaced, lost, destroyed, or even worse, created; Where overzealous prosecutors are free to pursue a case that they know is not warranted, for the purpose of political or personal gain, and with no accountability.

"Naked Truths" will tell you dirty little secrets that you might not really  want to know:

  • About Parental Rights you Thought You Had;

  • About how often Child Protective Services (CPS) does more harm than good,

  • About how CPS takes liberties with the law and even ma kes their own "laws";

  • About how CPS makes judgments based on their own hidden agendas;

  • About how CPS has powers way beyond yours as a parent;

  • About how parents are often seen by CPS as their child's worst enemies!

  • About Illusions of Privacy that We Live With...

       And much more...

"Naked Truths" will show you how "child pornography" as defined in the law is based on subjectivity or an individual's perception.

A very famous quote is the one by Supreme Court Justice Stewart Potter in Jacobellis v. Ohio, 378 U.S. 184 (1964): "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [hard-core pornography]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But, I know it when I see it..." This allows for a major range of subjective opinions, or, the eye of the observer.

The law focuses its judgment on the possibility of an observer getting some perverse stimulation or gratification from a photo he or she perceives as sexual whereas the photographer had no such intent. Who can say what might be stimulating or provocative to someone else, particularly to those with pathologic tendencies?

"Naked Truths" provides some shocking insights into the very thin line between decisions of guilt or innocence and how political pressures and personal agendas help to make those decisions and judgments.

Reviews:

"An intense look into the realities and nightmares of the justice system; how one is presumed guilty before innocence is ever a factor and the struggle a family goes through to rebuild their lives. Ms. Rubin lays the facts on the line and reveals life's unsuspected horrors."

"This book will appeal to a large audience of readers. I hope this book gets into as many hands as possible so people know and understand their rights."

"This should be required reading for all who photograph children."

"Wow! Awesome book. So much you don't really know until something happens to you."

"What a story! You wouldn't think that things like this happen here. It's more like a third world country, where they can just come in and take your kids away!"

Average Review *****

"Naked Truths" was recently referenced and cited as an "expert" in a writ of certiorari that was submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in another case.
