According to police, Amber Green, a Bellingham, MA mother of two claims her children (aged 5 and 6) WANTED to play with duct tape, so she and her live-in fiancee obliged them. The adults allegedly bound the kids into a chair (to the point they were crying) took pictures and then Green allegedly uploaded them to her MySpace page to share with friends. Classy! Here's more from Daily News Tribune:

Amber Green, of 100 Salisbury St., will be back in court Monday for a pretrial conference after police in February charged the woman and her live-in fiance, Lee Smith, 29, with two counts of assault and battery.
The woman told police she saw "disturbing photos of Green's children secured and bound to chairs with duct tape'' on MySpace.com, according to court documents.
"They were visibly upset and crying'' in the photos, the documents said.
When questioned by police, Green said her 5- and 6-year-old children "asked to play with the tape and wanted to be tied up,'' the police report said.
"Once the tape was applied ... the children were restrained to the chairs and became very upset and were crying,'' Officer David Ayotte wrote in a police report.
Green took digital photos of the children and uploaded them to the Web site for her friends to view, he wrote.
"The pictures clearly depict that Amber and Lee went to the extreme in wrapping duct tape around the kids,'' Ayotte wrote. The tape was wrapped approximately 10 times around the children's stomachs and chest areas and close to their throats, police said. "It is a possibility that the children may have had a difficult time breathing,'' according to the police report.
