    What to say to your child about Web porn and online predators, and how to look for signs of porn on your PC. Plus: warning signs that an adult may be communicating with your child.

(AP)  A 33-year-old woman was jailed on a $1 million bond and her five children were in protective custody after she was charged with offering to let an undercover investigator take pornographic photos of one of the children and have sex with the 7-year-old.

The woman, from the Detroit suburb of Taylor, was arrested Friday night after bringing the girl to a hotel in Romulus, near Detroit Metropolitan Airport, where she had agreed to meet the investigator, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department said.

The motive, the department said, was to make money by selling the photos. Her name wasn't being released to avoid identifying the child.

The woman was prepared to offer her daughter "for pornographic photos and anything else that was available if the price was right," Sheriff Warren Evans said. "She had indicated very clearly that that child would do whatever it was that the person who was going to meet the child wanted to do, and that she would see that the child complied.

"It's a very, very disgusting case."

She was arraigned Sunday on five charges, including child sexually abusive behavior, illegal use of the Internet for child sexually abusive actions or materials and distribution of child sexually abusive material, sheriff's spokesman John Roach said.

A not guilty plea was entered on behalf of the woman, who wasn't represented by a lawyer at the arraignment, Roach said. A preliminary examination was scheduled for April 12.

If convicted, she could get up 20 years in prison.

One of the charges in the case is a prostitution charge, since the department said the woman also propositioned the investigator herself. The department said the woman advertised herself online as a prostitute.

Authorities said the woman in Internet chats offered the investigator, who was posing as a photographer when they met online, the opportunity to take photos and discussed being paid in exchange for sex with the child.

The woman arrived at the hotel with her daughter, along with adult sex toys in a duffel bag and different dresses for the girl to wear, the department said.

At the time of the chats, the department said it was investigating the woman on suspicion of distributing child pornography.

Evans said investigators were trying to determine if the woman's other children — ages 12, 11, 9 and 6 — were victims of illegal sexual activity.

5 children and all she can face is "UP" to 20 years in prison? Who's going to be an advocate for her children? How disgusting!!! Where is Chris Hansen form Dateline's "To Catch A Predator" when you need him? I hope the mom will spend the rest of her life in prison. My heart and prayers go out to her children. My God be with the children through these times....

I hope for her childrens sake they can interviene in time to stop the cycle of destruction that the mother has started. I truly hope that these children can get the help and support they will need to grow up well and adjusted. Makes me wonder what type of life the mother had. There is no excuse for her actions, but well adjusted children don't usually act this way. We need to find out what happened to change this little baby in her mothers arms to turn out to be this monster, and try to prevent it from happening to others. Lets work to find a solution to the problem, instead of just jumping on the band wagon to punish the offender. Don't just be against the mother, be for finding the cause and cure to prevent this type of thing from happening.

Yes, up to 20 years for the destruction of 5 young lives. This is why there are so many sexual predators out there, they get a slap on the wrist when what they deserve is a bullet to the brain. Let this scum be put in front of a firing squad without a blindfold and let her feel the fear of her impending death just like the fear this child would have felt and probably has already felt at the hands of a predator. God, this sickens me.

She wasn't being a mother. There was no family. Five children in six years? Was there a father? Bet she was on government assistance. More children, more money. So much for a women's right to chose?

How did she support those five children? Maybe with government (taxpayers) help. Sorry, I don't want the government deciding if someone should be sterilized or not. How about not making it so easy to keep popping out children. And she can afford a computer to sell her childrent to the highest bidder.

This happens more often than people know! One case the mother pimped the 10 year old daughter to the boyfriend then to become husband once she got pregnant acted like the mother did not know. Then every male that had *** with the child went to jail but the mother did not!
go Figure the Law!

yo eggman. this lady is evil. the only thing that sickens me more than the sexual abuse of children is the Godless culture of moral relativism. a grown woman committing these crimes is bad. it's not a new problem. it's not a sickness we should treat. it is a crime. it should be punished. these causes that you seek to explain her actions seem to be greed, selfishness, lust, and lack of conscience. these are not new problems, either. in fact i read a book recently that addressed all of this and much, much more. it even offered some suggestions you could take should you find yourself struggling with these vises. unfortunately, this best-selling self-help book has seen a declining readership of late. it is, in fact, practically illegal to mention it in california public schools at all. for the truly lost and blind, i am refering, of corse, to the Bible. the Word of God. check it out yall.

This woman should be put to death. Anyone exploiting helpless children should be condemned. Why should we pay for her incarceration even for 1 day. Besides up to 20 years would never be enough to punish her for exploting a child, no less her own.

Death to this woman, I say.

Your missing my point. Of course she is wrong in her actions. I think death would be too good for her. Unless she's totally mentally crazy, she had free will and choose the wrong path. But what caused her to become evil? Was she born that way? All you "christians" seem to be of the same mind. F*** the cause, just punish the offender and let "God" sort her out. It's that type of attitude that keeps the cycle going. I don't believe anybody is born evil. Evil is created by man. Not by "the devil" or demons or some sort of religious junk. If this persons child or children grows up to do the same thing to their kids, the cycle continues. Of course, you'll be screaming for their deaths as well if that happens. Killing the mother dosen't stop the cycle. But it sure makes all you holier than thou christians feel good don't it!

The solution to this is very VERY easy. Our prisons are overflowing with convicted felons that are on death row, along with those on death row, there are pedophiles, *** offenders, and rapists that will never see the light of day. I propose that they be substituted for drug testing, or any other testing that involves animals, especially drugs or products that the end result is for humans anyway. I know there are those of you out there that will strongly disagree with this being "inhumane" and unethical treatment of humans but make it voluntary & have a facility that houses all the volunteers & they have to agree that being transfered to this facility means PERMANENTLY. Cuts cost, cuts on health cost, all kinds of budgets can benefit from a program such as this. Genetics research will have enough subjects to advance the better, safer ways & means of helping humanity in general. Crimes like this are not done by either animals or humans, they are in a class all on their own.

This is one sick woman, and she deserves to be in jail. So far she is being charged with trying to prostitue one of her 5 children, for which she could get 20 years. The article says they are still investigating rather or not the other 4 children were also victims. If so, I assume she could get an additional 20 years for each offence!

Those poor children will need lots of counsiling. I hope it's not too late, especialy for the 12 year old, who may have been abused since he or she was a young child.

You make it sound like if you support the death penalty you are a Christian, and if you don%u2019t then your not. It%u2019s not so easy to label people. I have a hard time justifying the death penalty. However, I don%u2019t consider my self to be liberal either. I am somewhere in the middle. My personal opinion is there is no excuse or explanation for what she did. The criminal as the victim only goes so far. And this is way beyond that. She should be placed in prison for the rest of her life in Solitary confinement. That means no contact with people, no going out side, no exposure to T.V. or media. No books, no paper and pen to write with. Isolate her completely in a cell with no windows or carpet. No mirror to see her image. Feed her through a slit in her cell door. Make sure there is nothing in the cell that gives her the option for suicide. If all this were done, I guarantee she would beg to be put to death. And more than likely she would be a lunatic in two years. That would be justice for the harm she caused her child. And who knows what has already been done to the other children. Yes there is a cost to lock people up. But that is the price/burden a society must accept.

Fast forward 100 yrs. to a staggering over-populated planet with a dwindling water supply:

You have birth control implants at puberty and they are not removed until you get a "certificate" or a "license".

Heck, you need a license to catch a fish or drive a car; why not a license to do something as important and profound as having children?

In the meantime, we have to deal with people like this woman and dozens (maybe hundreds) more just like her.

I think they should put in the birth control implants now!!!!!!
Do you ever notice when looking back at say your high school class........ The people who should'nt have have kids are always the first ones to have kids and then keep popping them out......
And then that kids parents who did a *** job at raising them end up having to raise their kids kids for the most part!!!!!!

My first thought was how to make this b-i-t-c-h
pay for her crimes. As I was reading your post I thought your ideas would make her suffer as she should. But after the two years I would give her the needle. No need to waste any more money on this piece of trash...let's spend the money on something good and not waste it on something evil.

Well, if you really want to isolate individuals like this, I suggest the following. An operation to sever optic nerves, so they can't see. Sever autitory nerves, so they can't hear. Sever spinal nerves to create a quadreplegic. Give em a colostomy and hook em up to a feeding pump. All they will ever have for the rest of their lives is their own thoughts, with no way to communitate to the outside world. No muss, no fuss, no violence. No guards, no cells, just someone to fill em with food and take the waste away. How's that for justice? Solve prison over crowding as well... probably be able to house quite a few in a limited amount of space...

Hey Eggman -

I agree to a point, but I have met people who actually did seem to be born "evil" or sociopathic; from otherwise normal families, they were just a bad seed.

I can't see a problem with executing this woman, frankly; I usually oppose the death penalty, but in this case she is just slime. I wouldn't normally say this, but there is nothing a mother could do in the rest of her life which could balance a willingness to prostitute her child. We don't need this on the planet.

And I'm not a Christian, or holier than anyone. There's just no excuse for this sickening person to live.

Raiderscott, are you referring to the same Bible that has multiple stories of incest, rape, familial murder and human sacrifice?

Frankly, your religion has contributed to these problems, not helped to solve them. Far more people use religion as an excuse to do evil than as a reason to do good. The most perverse courses of action can, do and have been called "the will of God".

Until people accept the fact that they (and only they) are responsible for their own morals and actions, and stop depending on fairy tales written hundreds or thousands of years ago, this sort of behavior, and other evils, will continue. People need to learn to do good simply because it is good, not because some imaginary diety or a man in a dress tells them so.

Only when we get up off our knees will we stand tall and be fully human.

I agree with Jimibear about that book which has launched millions of deaths, the bible. For too long it has been used as justification to kill in gods name. Unfortunately religion is the #1 killer in the world today in my opinion. It's a convoluted, contradictory fariy tail whose interpretation can be spun 180 degrees on almost any point. I don't think the devil himself could have created a more devious book to bring about death and destruction and make a person feel good about it.

But rohink, she IS following the bible: "...and god said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion...over every living thing that moves upon the earth...'"

Of course THAT is the basis of all our problems right there. Humans, to justify their lust, greed, unquenchable thirst for power, dominance & control were the ones who penned those words. They are the reason we do what we do AND the justification for it. Those words were made up- like a steven king novel- to scare the p**p out of people! And it worked for most. Not me.

This woman is only following your bible: She's being fruitful & she's having dominance over the living things she produced.

Deuteronomy 20:10-14: But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you. (notice the seal of approval from god)

Judges 5:30: They must be dividing the spoils they took: there must be a damsel or two for each man (no mention whether she needs to agree or not)

Exodus 21:7-11: When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. (selling your daughter as *** slave)

Also: Lot is praised in the bible for offering his daughters to be raped by a mob.

No, he didn't sacrifice his son. But your loving, all-merciful God told him to, did he not? As a "test of his faith" he had to be willing to cut his child's throat. Yeah, there's a diety worth worshipping.

The same loving God subjected Job to hardship after hardship to "test his faith". The same God who gave men free will and then drowned most of them in a flood when he didn't like what they did with it. The same God who turned Lot's wife into a pillar of salt for simply looking back at the city he was destroying for its "sinful" ways. The same God in whose name millions were slaughtered in the Spanish inquisition for crimes as minor as looking away when the host was raised at communion. The same God whose followers invaded the middle east in the crusades, leading to the trouble that still goes on today, under the "leadership" of more so-called Christians.

Do YOU know what you are talking about? Setting aside the fact that the very concept of God is ludicrous, the evil done in his name far outweighs any good, as you would know if you read some books based in fact for a change.

This is just another crack **ore looking for a quick buck for a rock. This one is millions of times worse though because she is willing to sell her daughter's innocence. The bible has little to do with this. The problem with people today is that their parents didn't beat the daylights out of them for doing wrong like our parents did. My parents spanked/disciplined us without abuse and I and my siblings did great. We never had to worry about guns in school, ever. This woman had no upbringing.
