Shelley Bettis say she's now forced to answer questions she was not ready to answer because her children saw things they were too young to see. She bought a DVD player, but also got pornography.
Bettis and her three children just wanted to watch Bambi II Tuesday afternoon, but before Shelley could load the DVD in the new Apex player she had just bought, something else popped up on the screen, and it was a far cry from Bambi.
"I don't even want to tell you what I saw," said Bettis.
Already inside the player, Shelly says, was a DVD. The label was so graphic that we can't even show it to you. The material on it is pornography.
"I was floored," she said. "I felt my heart hit the ground that my children had to see that. I was disgusted."
All three of her children, the youngest just eight years old, saw the first few seconds of the DVD before Shelley lunged for the player to turn it off. Thirteen-year-old Taylor watched sex acts she didn't even know about.
"It's very gross," said Taylor. "I saw body parts I've never seen before."
Shelley bought the $34 player at a Cleveland Wal-Mart and says the box it came in had not been tampered with.
In a statement, Wal-Mart apologizes and says, "We are thoroughly investigating the matter at this time."
No one at Apex, the manufacturer, returned our calls.
In a home where the focus is on faith and morals, the wrong purchase, Bettis says, stole her children's innocence.
"For them to see what they seen, it's not right," she said.
Wal-Mart encourages Shelley to return the DVD player to the store for a full refund. In the meantime, Bettis is now exploring her legal options and also plans to have her daughters see a counselor.
