The worse interpretation, the one that immediately jumped into my mind, is that the father (or perhaps older brother) had picked up a hooker.

Christ.

This from the photographer- found the same thread at snopes



" I can confirm this as true - I was lucky enough to be with the photographer when this photo was taken. I submitted a whole bunch of notes to the Snopes feedback page a few days ago, but nothing has happened unfortunately.

This photo was taken around 2003ish, in Brisbane, Australia. The exact location is Berwick St, just off Brunswick St in Fortitude Valley - the construction work is for the new apartments next to the Dooleys Irish Pub that opened in mid-2005.

The basic story behind it was that some work colleagues and I were coming back from lunch to work, when we noticed the amorous couple going at it in the car. Now it wasn't a complete suprise since we were near Brunswick St, which is pretty much Brisbane's red light district, but to have this happen around lunchtime with the windows down was still an amazing novelty for us. One of the lunch crowd, Mat, gathered the courage to get close and take the photo, and then promptly walk away very quickly.

It wasn't until we got back to work and sent the photo around that we noticed the small kid in the back seat. We sent this to a few friends, and one of us made a thread about it in the Something Awful forums (which should still be in the archives, once the archives are put back online). It was originally posted unedited - however the SA guys recommended that a watermark be put on it so that other unscrupulous people didn't claim it as their own. Hence, the very faint watermark that was put into the back seat window."

and I thought nothing interesting happened in Brisbane. The Valley is known for it's prostitution, so I think that perhaps, daddy picked up a hooker.
