I think that it is entirely believable that this is what happened, and there is no relevant information "not yet released."
Puritanism in every form is phobic in the US to almost psychotic levels, and the manifest fear that molesters and pedophiles lurk in every corner, and we are overwhelmed in an untold epidemic of double-lived sicko parents, uncles, babysitters, and creepy boys next door wreaking endless havoc on our innocent babies has become one of the worst shames on the American people-- and that is saying something.
People are naked sometimes. Some of those people are children. It is enjoyable and/or amusing to be naked. Especially if you are a child. People take pictures to remember enjoyable and/or amusing moments. That nudity by definition has come to equal pornography-- especially the most perverse sort-- is, in itself, sick. That parents taking pictures of their little kids at bathtime, as parents have done since the camera's invention (so as to whip them out later in life, and embarrass their children in front of their prom dates and prospective fiancees), now can result in government agencies taking children away from parents is more than sick, it is criminal.
This hysteria must stop. If we don't where will we end up? A society of adults who must always be paranoid about what they say to kids, who will fear always to touch kids even in the most innocent way; of parents who will fear their babies' skin, and dress their toddlers in burqas. Madness. It is all madness.
