\”A few weeks ago, Diana Baker of Mahopac had just returned from the hospital after the birth of her new daughter when her 2-year-old, Amanda, called her over to look at her \”Barney\’s Singalong\” book.\”

\”The plastic music-maker had fallen off and Amanda was pointing to a lurid photo of a woman in a revealing negligee advancing an ice cube toward a man\’s naked derriere.\”

\”Words Baker did not want her daughter to learn – like \”wild sex\” and \”lust\” – were clearly recognizable, although the text was in German.\”

\”I was shocked when I first saw it,\” Baker said. \”I thought to myself ‘No, this can\’t be,\’ but it was. It was porn. I was in disbelief. I was kind of disgusted that something like this got into my house through Barney.\”

\”Barney is Amanda\’s favorite character. He teaches her a lot of things, but this is not something Barney should teach her. Now a child might associate him with this smut. The child\’s values are going to be warped,\” she said.
