In a truly awful case out of Kansas a 48-year-old woman is accused of prostituting her 5-year-old daughter, and the prosecutor claims it was not the first time and that she did the same to her other children when they were between the ages of 8 and 14.:
Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston on Friday sought a judge's permission to introduce testimony from two of the woman's grown daughters, who said she sold them for sex when they were between the ages of 8 and 14.
When the mother goes on trial, however, the jury will only hear about the 5-year-old. Prosecutors say a man the mother knew for years paid her for sex acts with the child.
The key witness in the case is now 7 years old. She testified in a previous hearing that her mother took her to see Stafford on several occasions, where he performed various sex acts with her.
In return, the girl said Stafford gave her mother $6 or $7, which her mother used to buy alcohol and cigarettes.
Sadly the adult daughters appear to be split on what to do:
The adult daughters told Waller during a pretrial hearing Friday that they didn't want to testify against their mother.
In court, a 23-year-old daughter denied having sex with Stafford. But a social worker said the woman reported two years ago that she did have sex with Stafford, starting when she was 9 years old.
The woman changed her story in court Friday, after visiting her mother last week in jail.
"I can't testify against my mother," she said, crying. "I can't do it. I'm not doing it."
Her 25-year-old sister said she came forward when she found out the 5-year-old was going through what she had endured.
"I wanted to get it off my chest so I could go on with my life," the woman said, but she added that she was reluctant to testify against her mother.
She said she was 11 when her mom began taking her to see Stafford. The woman said she heard Stafford ask her mother whether she would bring over her other daughter, two years younger. - Read the entire article here.

see the special treatment that mothers get when they do the most heinous and utterly psychopathic crimes? like prostitute their kids for 7$ to buy alcohol and cigarettes?
mothers are special beings apparently that are exempt from punishment even from the their own children and daughters who were abused by her. For some strange reason these damsels sought it was cruel to turn their mother in
what about if their father did it the exact same way? would they be much more willing to testify against him?
