Tina Ellison bought a digital camera Thursday at Wal Mart. She noticed the seal on the box had been broken.

She bought it anyway, as a gift for her 14-year-old daughter. When she got it home, her daughter turned it on and found the Internal Video Memory full with video of a naked man.

"They were like Mom! Mom! That's all they kept yelling, Mom! Mom!" said Ellison. "He was playing with himself. Yes, he was indulging himself..."

Ellison immediately brought the camera back to Wal Mart where the staff looked at the images. Ellison then called police.

When the officer arrived, he discovered additional images of the naked man with children.

Pornography alone is not illegal. But when children are involved, criminal charges are possible. Police have to determine the age of the children.

Ellison asked why the camera's memory wasn't erased if the camera was used and returned to the shelf.

"My issue was my children. Wal Mart exposed my children to pornography video. Not just pictures, actual video."

"It may be that we should have checked. We’ve alerted the police and our loss prevention department, and we will pursue this any way we can. And for the customer, we certainly apologize that this happened," said Marty Heires, of Wal Mart.

Ellison just wants whoever is responsible caught.

"I have no idea why he does it. He's sick, whoever he is. He 's definitely a sick individual."

Wal Mart gave Ellison a new camera and offered to help her with counseling for her children if she feels they need it.

Police are still investigating the case.

I'm just thinking of the irony. Who would have thought. Maybe it's a used camera or something

. I know, it's gross. Anybody else wanna head for Wal-Mart?

it was probably a return, and whoever originally bought it, didnt erase the photos, you would have to be pretty dumb, to take photos like that, and then return the camera without erasing them...

Yeah this is friggin' horrible to happen but you know it's actually good that the video wasn't erased and that this happened so that police can track down this child molester.

This

sickens me.

Maybe the f'er has so many cameras he couldn't remember what was on what? Eh, either way, he's a sick scumbag.
