Sexy Craigslist Ad Allegedly Posted by Social Worker as Revenge on 9-year-old

you actually bring up a good point, but i'm sure they have some sort of evidence that impicates the mtoher over the child, or alteast i would hope so considering that she's going to court, perhaps it was the content in the letter and the words that were used.

I thought the same thing. I wonder if they are able to distinguish between her listing this ad and her daughter listing it. That being said, however, I think if she IS guilty of this then she needs to not only be punished for this, but she also needs to lose her job. If this is the kind of sick mind that is in charge of the welfare of at-risk kids because she's a social worker, that is VERY scary. So, IF she is guilty, I hope she punished to the fullest extent for the protection of ALL the children she has power over. And regardless of if it was her or her daughter, I hope the 9-year-old victim is okay. This could really warp a child's sense of trust in adults around them. How do you explain something like this happening to a child that young? It's just sick.

She is still responsible for her daughter's actions since her daughter is a minor and under her (supposed) supervision. Children that age might be capable of doing such a thing, but it's her mom's responsibility to make sure her daughter's using the internet responsibly. Having witnessed court cases of the same nature, I can say without a doubt that the mom will take the rap for this, even if it was the daughter who perpetrated it.

At least half of the social workers out there are BLOODY INSANE. They have control over people's lives, but they don't even have a college degree in most cases. They are incompetent morons.

I have a hard time believing a 9 year old would come up with this. Twelve, Thirteen…maybe, but this sounds like something an older person would come up with. There are some crazy mothers out there that live vicariously through their daughters. Luckily, I didn’t have a crazy one. ;-)

Millerson: In many cases, a college degree means nothing except that you sat in a classroom for 4 years and paid your tuition. A degree does not mean you excelled in anything (how many college classmates do you remember that barely squeaked by with the bare minimum?), nor does it mean that you will be a productive member of society.

A college degree does not make you a smart, competent employee. There are many, many ignorant college grads out there while there are many, many intelligent non-grads.

Personally, I would rather trust an employee with years of good experience rather than a college graduate whose degree is hot off of printer and who has no idea how the real world works.

Back to the issue at hand, I agree with "jello." Regardless of who is actually posted the ad -- the mother or the daughter -- the mother is ultimately responsible. It is her job to properly monitor her child's Internet usage and to ensure that she does not post inappropriate material or visit inappropriate web sites. If she is not doing these things, she is absolutely guilty of allowing her daughter to behave deliquently and should be punished. Parents are too lazy to properly supervise their children. They are also guilty of being too permissive and allowing them to be disrepectful to themselves and all others, as is evidenced in this case if it was the daughter who posted the ad.

hijackrabid, thats sounds reasonable a good possibility, but lets not forget the cheerleaders mother from Texas.

Are you kidding me?? How many 9 year olds know anything about putting an ad on Craigslist?? And lets say her daughter did do it, why does the child know about sex?? If the social workers daughter did do it then her mom isnt such a good mom, allowing her 9 year old daughter to have access to the internet and knowing about sex. U really didnt think about that did u?

are you serious?!?!

so where do u think a 9 yr old girl would come up with that type of retaliation???? Oh let me put a sex ad on craigslist?!?!ummm i doubt it!!There is absolutely no excuse,ryme or reason a 9 yr old would retaliate like that!They would start a rumor or talk smack....they wouldnt go that far.....and if it was my kid that it happened to I would have took matters into my own hands!And especially a social worker!?!? This whole thing boggles my mind and any 1 that actually defends this woman should be ashamed of themselves!!!

Nine year olds hopefully do not know how to post sex ads on craigs list. If she does her mother should be in trouble for that. Why let a nine year old on the computer unattended?

That would not be possible because obviously the 9-year old in question, is smarter, more intelligent, and has more common-sense than you, or her stupid-ass mother!

Sad part is.....She was allowed to reproduce!
