WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) A Waterville woman was charged with child endangerment because she allegedly let her daughter and another girl spend the night at a motel with two men they met on the Internet, police said.

The woman drove her 13-year-old daughter and her daughter's 14-year-old friend to the bus station to meet the two men, said Police Chief John Morris.

Yea, she's cool alright. NOT!

We would probably all be surprised at how much this goes on that ISN'T reported.

I guess this is Stupid Parent Week here at F.R.

From the 7 1/2 watt bulbs who left their now dead child in the minivan for four hours after church to this mommy-pimp, it's hard to believe how many idiots are now "raising" children.

Were things always this bad?

JHP to the back of her head! then...it's shovel time.

We get some real winners here in Maine. What's up with the mother? The "revenge" or "family feud" scenario put forth by an earlier poster sounds okay, but why would one girl go along with it if she knew the two mothers were fighting? It's also likely that the mother herself is white trash: had sex at a young age herself, alcoholic, promiscuous, no idea of civilized behavior or decent living. Thus, it's normal for her daughter to behave like that (no different from her).

Anyone with a first name of "Kenya" is almost certainly a person of color; anyone in Maine is 96% likely to be a person of no color. Wouldn't this seem odd checking into a motel or just walking down the street together in a small town? (Waterville is a small city--you stand out even in Portland if you're a person of color.) Maybe these girls, in addition to having less sense and more horniness than I've known teenage boys to have, wanted to get something the local market couldn't provide and that they believed was the acme of cool.

NO...because back in the GOOD ol days...we had orphanges...and dumbass parents had their children removed from them and they were placed in the "evil" orphanage....hmmm I remember a few years ago Newt mentioned re-instating orpahanages across America and place the children of "welfare teenage mom's" into them ....and OHHHH the clamor that rang out from the Liberal LEFT! Why if we were to do that we would take away VOTES from the LEFTIST party....shit I am so sick of the Leftist and their corrupt agenda for the future of the American family...

I think your hunch that the girls may have been after something ...exotic..is probably correct. The mom is probably promiscuous trash herself (as you speculated) and has a promiscuous, trashy daughter. I doubt if either of them saw the rendezvous with the internet guys as anything to get too concerned about.

The daughter's friend, the 14-year-old, has parents who possess some degree of moral awareness, as evidenced by their prohibition of her taking part in the rondezvous with Kenya and his pal. But the 14-year-old, motivated by hormones, curiosity, rebelliousness, or simply the desire to do something "cool", went ahead and decided to take part. The trashy mom was more than willing to provide logistical support, and my guess is that this willingness was rooted in some sicko desire to see the the daughter defiled and in rebellion against her parents (as she probably was against hers).

Then again, maybe the mom was just incredibly weak and did this in order to please the girls. Who knows. Kinda fun to speculate, though...

Has anybody seen how 13 & 14 year olds dress now? I've seen some I'd think were 19! Whose to say these girls didn't tell them they were 18.

Geez o' pete, how hardup do you have to be to drive to Maine for a little split-tail?
