Scotland Yard was alerted after visitors to the exhibition at the Spitz gallery in London complained they considered the images, showing the girl as a baby, a toddler, and a five-year-old, to be pornographic. The doors of the gallery at Spitalfields Market in east London were closed and the windows covered while the gallery took advice from officers. The artist, American Betsy Schneider, was amazed. She said: "The aim of these pictures is not to provoke or to shock. The idea is to show time, change and growth. The case has echoes of the furore in when police threatened to seize three of American photographer Tierney Gearon's images of her children in the nude from the Saatchi gallery in London. Then the former culture minister, Chris Smith, intervened to chastise officers for overstepping the mark between probity and censorship. Ms Schneider's piece, exhibited in a festival celebrating women's writing, is made up of three large blocks of pictures, each of which shows 63 images of her daughter, Madeleine. One block shows her aged nine weeks; in the second she is 2 years old; in the third, which caused offence, she is aged five. In most of the images she is naked, though in a few she does wear clothes.
