OKEECHOBEE, Fla. -- A mother is under arrest, accused of selling a 12-year-old daughter into prostitution and trading a 14-year-old daughter for a car.
The 39-year-old woman, whose name is not being released to protect the girls' identity, is charged with two counts of aggravated child abuse and two counts of sexual performance by a child. She was being held Tuesday in the Okeechobee County Jail on $400,000 bond.
Both girls have been turned over to the Department of Children & Families, the Okeechobee News reported for Wednesday editions.
The youngest girl and her mother were living out of their car and the prostituting was for food and an occasional shower at the men's homes, according to a report by Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office Detective K.J. Ammons
The youngest daughter is currently three months pregnant, the report said, and the girl was 11 when her mother first forced her to have sex with a man. She charged $20 for the sex.
The older daughter refused to be used as a prostitute and was allegedly sold for car.
"She was sold to a man for a Mercury Cougar," Ammons said. "But, he never gave the mother the vehicle."
Ammons said the car has an estimated value of $500-to-$1,000. That 23-year-old man has since been arrested. He was charged with sexual performance by a child and was booked into the county jail and is held on $100,000 bond.
The youngest girl told detectives that her mother pulled both girls out of school for fear they would tell someone.
"She said she was a good student and made A's and B's, and all she wants to do is go back to school," Ammons said.
Ammons said DCF will get the girls into a new school.
Florida again. These poor kids.
Pictures please...who is this woman?
Jeez, there must be something in the water down there in Florida, and I'm not talking about the sharks---
This woman is a murderer of souls. Again, an example of a place where the death penalty would not be out of place.
There is a death penalty......for the innocent.
Counting down the days till I can finnaly be rid of this state. Broward County is a miserable place to live.
Why do stories like this always seem to come out of Florida? What's up with that state?
Where are the judges?
Where are the feminists?
Where are the lawyers?
Sadly the architects of these young girl's fate are no where to be seen.
Yep, Red State, twice!

Okeechobee. Lots of problems there.
ol' hoghead
This has nothing to do with what state it was in. It's the state of moral decay our whole country is in right now. The other 49 states have some horror stories as well.
"It is better that a stone be tied around her neck and she be cast into the sea for causing one of these little ones to fall. " Compared to what God has in store for her. If there is an unforgivable sin, this is it. Mothers are supposed to protect their children.
Hope they lock her up and throw away the key.
Yeah, well it seems everything weird and sick that I have been reading about for the past month or two has been coming out of Florida. Coink-i-dink? I don't think so.
Wisconsin has a feral cat problem. What can we do about feral humans like this woman?
In fact I would not be surprised if the mother was not certain as to who the father(s) actually were.

Ummm... lemme guess... the father is Michael Schiavo !!! ;-))
