Mother who tried to sell 13-year-old daughter's virginity for $10,000 sentenced to prison

The real question should be who is the man known only as 'Don.'? Since he seems to have gotten away with it he is probably out there looking for another junkie mom with a young daughter.

He is even worse than the mother

No he's not. You expect a pervert to act like a pervert. You don't expect a mom to whore out her daughter. This guy didn't have the responsibility to protect this girl, the mother did.

He's a bad guy but the mother is worse.

Well I think both of them are as evil as evil can be. I'd have no problem seeing both of them die.

Not to satisfy some hatred, but to protect more children. Every creep who is guilty of child sexual abuse, and I mean this, should forfeit their life for it. They have destroyed the life of the child, why should they continue to be able to live ??

This may not be popular. I really don't give a rat's as*. Child molestors are the scum of the earth !!!

So he gets a pass to continue to be a pervert elsewhere, just because he's not the parent,

You get the impression that they don't know who he is and didn't catch him. It's also possible they don't have enough evidence to convict him unless they cut mom a deal to testify.

I doubt it is as simple as it is not considered a crime to solict sex from 13 year olds in Utah.

At least we throw 'em in jail here Bonos. They'd probably be stoning the teenager right now if this was in the ME.

Jail has proven to improve those coming out of it right... and second I dont mean to be a jerk but its wrong to ASSume what other nations would be doing. Its wrong to ASSUME that they would be barbaric to the girl in the Middle East.. dont be afraid or hide behind initials...say it. Lastly I would suggest you educate yourself about the COUNTRIES there ...and not just generalize the entire region and say they would all stone a child in the streets. True or not you dont KNOW for fact, and second if we are going to generalize then it would be a safe assumption on other coutries parts to think that we all try and sell our children to sex pervs.... Generalizations only point to ignorance, and they NEVER apply to EVERYONE in an area...especially the entire ME... please do your homework before ranting out a generalized statement about a place you dont fully know about. Thank you.

I am all about stoning the mother.

M Reed, enlighten yourself:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7708169.stm

(Human rights group Amnesty International says the victim was a 13-year-old girl who had been raped.)

When you get off your high horse, throw me a line.

And that's just one of many readily available examples of barbaric treatment of women and girls in the Middle East (the one on Earth in 2102).

I am with you as far as the mother, I mean something more than a year at the very least, but would it help her? ...probably not. I think her broken goes all the way down to the core, maybe because she never got the skills needed to be a parent from her parents, that should be obviously. Who knows...drugs, bad up bringing...needing money whatever the reason its no excuse for her free willed actions.

That said I am not cool with stoning a child ... Ive seen child abuse up close growing up and it showed me 2 things, the first was there is a better way to teach, second I will not repeat the cycle by procreating and taking the chance I do something like what I was exposed to growing up.

In doing that I have not brought suffering to an innocent, but instead had to watch stories like these about people who prolly had the same crap upbringing OR WORSE and are now adults "breeding" and perpetuating a sad cycle of abuse. I am now to a point where I do feel there should be some kind of classes or licence required to create life because it seems people doing it dont know how that LIFE is supposed to be respected, loved and cared for.

Or you gould just google "raped woman stoned middle east".

I hope you don't like what you see.

Sorry to reveal unpleasantries to you.

Happens every day bonos - rama

Correct, Brent. They are stoning women and girls for various reasons in the middle east (including Israel).

But you do realize that the third world isn't just the middle east? The fact remains that th is happened HERE, in a first world nation. And we have people that, instead of condemning it, prefer to make their first priority pointing fingers at middle easterners.

Bonos, it happends here waaaaaaaaaay to often. I'll agree with you on that.

I hope they throw the book at her.

Just saying at least we know who to punish when it does happen.

An interesting read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoning

Bonos, are you saying Israel stones women?

I hate when people shove words in my mouth.. I never disagreed with you about things happening there (the middle east) my point was simply that you cannot make a genralized statement about everyone or every country there because the statement wouldnt be true or accurate. Horrible things happen there I wont deny that or disagree, but they happen here just as often and are just as disgusting.

I then simply pointed out that since you feel its ok to generalize about an entire region, that it would be okay for them to do the same about our country and say that as a general rule we sell our daughters when they turn thirteen..and we all know thats just not true or even close to accurate. I dont need to enlighten myself as I am a woman and have been through and seen this crap my whole life. I know what it means to be a woman and I know what it means to be a woman born in this country. Im not on a high horse, just I dont like when people generalize an entire region as if they knew what each person in such a vast area could be thinking well enough to say its how an entire area felt...I know it exists and I know that over there its a sad way of life, but dont go so far as to say everyone there agrees with that belief system...unless you are willing to be stereo typed and pigeon holed yourself. That is the only point I was making...not that horrible things dont happen, but thank you for trying to put words into my mouth in an attempt to make yourself seem wise, by misconstruing what I was saying.

You said (among other things):

and second I dont mean to be a jerk but its wrong to ASSume what other nations would be doing. Its wrong to ASSUME that they would be barbaric to the girl in the Middle East.. dont be afraid or hide behind initials...say it. Lastly I would suggest you educate yourself about the COUNTRIES there ...and not just generalize the entire region and say they would all stone a child in the streets. I

I posted a link as an example of the exact behavior I mentioned in the region I mentioned and provided you a search tool for more.

Yes, I took offense to your initial comment. Re-read 4.2 and tell me you didn't intend to insult me.

Middle Eastern BARBARIANS STONE THEIR WOMEN, including victims for these types of things. I'M NOT GENERALIZING. I'M PROVIDING YOU INFORMATION.

Sory if the truth hurts.

To declare an ENTIRE area i.e. the ME as you put it, is what I was opposed to...and yes I was offended at your narrow minded opinion of an ENTIRE region.

Just because you can point to an example in the past of something they HAVE done, doesnt mean you have any right to ASSume how they would deal with something like this now.... its narrow minded ignorance, and yes I take issue with that especially when you twist what I say to again try and make your point. I NEVER said they werent above being barbaric, no human is was my point...location had nothing to do with that fact.

Your last statement again points to my issue with you... Middle easterners ... do you even realize how many countries are there and just how many people you are speaking about ...then to be so arrogant as to state how they all feel is ignorant on your part, and a generalization. One you know not from any first hand expierence, no just simply your own spoon fed view of what ALL people think..its nieve on your part at best. Your version of reality hardly counts as truth so no sorry needed as it didnt bother me in the slightest, just showed your narrow, ignorant and rude assumption about an entire region on earth... Again for the slow, I have no doubt bad crap happens there...but you are fooling yourself to think that because you live in America we are above disgusting, barbaric acts. Second you have no right to generalize an entire group of people because it suits your arguement to say they are cool with stoning people.

I do not deny they need to educate themselves...but I dont fool myself into believing that people here arent above the same inhuman disgust... study your countries history, you may be shocked at what you learn, because they arent the only ones that need to learn a few things I can assure you..you are a shining example of just how nieve or just blind Americans choose to be sometimes.

Yes, it is that surprising. Hollywood has never suggested that mothers should sell their daughter's virginity for money...no, she came up with this all by herself.

Yes, she is shocking and surprising. Most know the difference between fiction and reality; there's no hanging her abusive actions on the entertainment industry.

What do we "hang it on?" Ease of access to these ideas and mechanisms to get them done via the internet?

Do morals matter any more?

I hate to say it, but I really dont think its as shocking as it should be.....

Ms Cyprah, the country rarely agrees on what should be considered "moral".

You've heard of Newsvine? :-)

What do we "hang it on?" Ease of access to these ideas and mechanisms to get them done via the internet?

Rape goes back thousands and thousands of years. Sadly, that includes the raping of children. How far back do you think Hollywood goes? What did people "hang it on" thousands or hundreds of years ago?

Do morals matter any more?

Yes, thankfully they do - which is why this woman was arrested and people are outraged. However, morality includes assigning responsibility properly: placing the responsibility for someone's own actions upon them and not trying to pin them on anything but BUT him/her.

Throw her away for 20 years. I'm with you.

"Breeder"? Funny.

Sarcasm is my only defense these days... and yes "breeder" is the name I have given to those that procreate and lack the skill to be an actual parent... or anyone that creates a life without attaching the idea that they are responsible for it, it was nicer than baby popper in my eyes lol

I got it M.

I agree with you. It just struck me as funny.

Amen Fernando, I am with you on the parenting test...its sadly what we have been reduced to as a society...people can no longer be trusted to do that themselves...maybe we never were but I do know that I liked the 50's when this kinda disgusting stuff wasnt in the news EVERYDAY :(

Well...I say this goes on more then we as people like to admit....Selling Sex is a age old business, like it or not....

Why didn't someone pick up on this? holy cow....I really just don't know what to say....I want to go home and hug my daughter....and thank god she has never come in contact with anyone like this...

Legalize prostitution in all states and we probably wouldn't have a problem. Of course there would be some sickos still, but most of them I think would just pay for some ass legally.

Legalized prostitution would not have saved this child, as consenting sex between two adults was not the goal of this transaction. Legalized prostitution does not cure pedophilia.

I think it would give potential pedophiles a legal way to get their rocks off. Maybe instead of the 13 year old they would find an 18 year old who looks like a 13 year old.

I wouldn't sleep with a juvenile but I sure as hell would pay for sex with an adult if it was legal and safe. I think its ridiculous for prostitutes to be arrested over and over again for conducting a business that is illegal because of morality issues. Imagine the United States if morality was taken out of the equation when it came to laws.

get rid of the customers and theirs nothing left for the suppliers....just a thought...

Lady- What do you want us to do with the customers?

Good Question....Not for me to decide...but I'm susre thier is someone willing to make that call.....

I agree Outrageous, theres always some excuse people have for behaving hideously...its old. When will people be accountable or responsible for their own actions?

...It is my wish too that she have a beefy woMAN to cell with to maybe show her what kinda stuff happens when your will is taken away, or you have no say in your destiny and others use you to profit.

Lastly, its a sad day when a man has to save a woman from THIS kinda stuff. You would think as a woman to another woman this could never happen, but wait ..along comes a story about a woman doing this to her own child... and being saved by not a relative but the boyfriend of the childs own mother, it seems he had more compassion than the mom... sad, just sad.

Conservatism has nothing to do with this.

Nice try at being funny. You missed just by a little.

yes i missed

perhaps you missed the satire, the idea that regulation is not needed, or the idea that the mother didn't have an abortion instead

and yes conservatism has everything to do with it. the conservative agenda is to dictate and interject itself only in issues, commercial, moral, and otherwise where their agenda is intended to thrive and divide

you see words, humor, sarcasm, and irony illustrate by changing perspective

but you both are right i failed miserably and i will never post again....goodbye cruel vine...sour are the grapes of their wrath...

I saw the satire, I just didn't think it was very funny. Good luck with posting on another site.
