At times, the worse is seen by those who can't see.

I have seen this photograph before and I echo Haydon (above) sentiments.
I could not have said it better.

The really sick ones are the ones who made the initial complaints.

This case interested me.

The image was taken in 2014. That web article posted by BHC, is dated Jan 2017. There was a hearing in Feb 2017. What happened? I searched the web and found her FB page and a post from her in March 2017 says *** ALL CLAIMS UNSUBSTANTIATED! *** http://www.facebook.com/heatherwhittenphoto/

So that's the story. BUT there are some bigger questions. A comment by David Crossley on Fstoppers in Feb 2017 sums it up (excerpt below):

"I thought why would her husband allow her to setup and take this picture? Quickly followed by why would she even post this picture on social media and why would her partner allow her to upload this picture to social media?

When I finally discovered Heather Whitten is a “birthing” photographer, I realized that this photo is staged and was put out there for self promotion. And that makes total sense."

Well it was certainly successful in promoting her name. But my Google search turned up. There were quite a few replies titled The Arizona Registry and one was from Arizona Registry of Child Abusers. I would think that is not how a "birthing" photographer wants her name to be associated in a web search.
