weather cleared up following hurricane arthur. one mother, who knows how she fared during the storm. she re-created a picture of the copper tone baby ad. she took this picture of a little two-year-old and somehow she got suspended by facebook for an entire day after not taking it down. so she put up this edited version with the emoji. she is a professional photographer. she wanted to do an homage of the copper town girls of the 50 s. by the way, my wife was one of the models that they based the little girl on back in the 50 s. any way, she thought it was adorable, the picture on the right which featured her daughter s bare bottom but somebody said that is completely inappropriate, flagged it as porn. now she faces a lifetime ban. child pornography.
nobody on it. no kids were involved. reporter: but the wrong place, wrong time for three adults injured during the take-off and taken to the hospital for minor injuries, several others were treated at the scene as well. we had a couple of minor injuries from patrons that were standing by from the moving slide. so, fortunately nothing serious. the kids area is now open. reporter: open and as the nugget president says ready to celebrate our nation s birthday, safely on the ground. absolutely. this has to put a damper on the festivities at all. i think i would think twice before putting my kids in there. some can t wait. they are fun but i don t know. i really have to think twice. not fun off the ground. now that hurricane arthur moved out the warm temperatures br to move in. so how hot is gotting to get as we head into next week? this week actually. let s bring in karen maginnis. it s going to be steamy over
