And there you have the American Way-- get a lawyer, sue and drag the case thru the legal system. Make sure everyday that goes by in this 10 year olds life is reminded of the incident. I'd be ticked off but I doubt I would take legal action.
I think there are two issues here that require the services of a lawyer. First is the criminal. Is Walmart involved in the distribution of pornography to minors? That needs to be dealt with. And, lawyers are the people in society that we turn to for dealing with criminal matters.

Second is the civil issue of selling used merchandise as new. Different states have different laws on this, and lawyers are qualified by training to tell people what the law is. Seems reasonable to consult a lawyer. Perhaps you would consult a plumber?
