A Philadelphia mother-daughter pair are accused of providing sex for clients they met on the Craigslist Web site, police say. WCAU-TV's Monique Braxton reports.

Video at link; will open in new window.

I've heard about life imitating art; now life is apparently imitating the Penthouse Forum.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

GUILTY (Before the photo’s are posted) !!!

[kbennkc]

You just don't hear much about family businesses anymore .

[dayglored]

So are they arresting the men (clients) too?

Must have missed that part....

[martin_fierro]

“Mother Hoes Best.”

[Defiant]

The daughter might be innocent. Need more evidence.

Another shining moment in Philadelphia history. This place is the biggest dump on the face of the earth, with the most liberal, corrupt, lazy, stupid, foulmouthed, greaseballs you will ever see in your life. Philadelphia makes San Francisco seem like, well, Wasilla Alaska. The 10% or so of people who have evolved beyond the troglodyte stage are, by and large, non-natives. Im 20 years here (for work and school) I’ve met previous few native-born Philadelphians that I didn’t find utterly repulsive. I’m sure there are many more, but they tend to go into hiding just to survive.

It would appear that this particular sting was set up to catch the providers.

Don’t worry, they do the obverse sting too.

[Ilya Mourometz]

They pretty much admitted it to the news media when they were arrested.

[skinkinthegrass]

yessiree....**a real democ'rat town**.....its just a simple family business.

[Aaron0617]

Usually these prostitutes 'working' out of there homes try to be descreet about it, but not this pair.

Single men stopping by all day/night. and the ladies half dressed in their own backyards. What did they expect?

[Slings and Arrows]

I saw the video. Really freakin’ guilty.

[2ndDivisionVet]

How will Obama/Biden go about taxing this small business?

[dayglored]

> You just don't hear much about family businesses anymore.

I'm appalled about the younger kids being around with this stuff going on.

Other than that, sounds like a little personal free enterprise, except that probably the mom was pimping the 22-yo daughter, which is pretty horrific. The girl didn't look like she was happy about the situation, never mind the arrest.

Geez, what a mess.

There goes my vacation plans .

Pretty much redefines “Dynamic Duo.”

[skinkinthegrass]

nope....they're probably Democ'rats

[Slings and Arrows]

Given the quality of the merchandise I’m not sure their yearly income was above $42,000.

Quick, Robin! To the Bat Bed!

[JRios1968]

GUILTY without a need to see them

[BenLurkin]

And the neighborts were applauding as the cops hauled the suspects away!

[anniegetyourgun]

Heck, I’m just glad to see this story wasn’t another Palin-and-daughter hit job by MSNBC.

[umgud]

I had heard that a DC madam had been arrested for running a house of ill-repute, but I just couldn’t believe that they had actually arrested Nancy.

[Pan_Yan]

I’m sure that Craigs List is a very usefull website. But after all the stories like this lately I don’t think I want it appearing in my web history. My wife might think I was shopping for the wrong products.

[Slings and Arrows]

Good thinking. I stick to Amazon.com for my webshopping.

[CougarGA7]

Craig’s List has EVERYTHING!!

So true,, I went to San Fran for a work conference this year. Then this summer I took my daughter to see a game in the final season at Yankee Stadium. She loves history, so we drove to Philly to see the whole Independence hall thing. A great experience, but wow are you correct. San Fran felt like a warm safe place compared to Philly. What a menace that town is. Now i understand the whole Mumia thing,, the corrupt political stories,, etc,,

USS Oly
It was an education in more ways than one,, a singularly disgusting, menacing place. Country mouse went back home, city mouse turned out to be a creepy thug.

In a word,,, if youve never been to Philly,, imagine a democrat run city,, (cant believe im going to say this) without the idealistic reformer attitude of San Fran, with the ethos of Tony Soprano!

[Albion Wilde]

There goes my vacation plans .

Ignore Ilya's cynicism. I lived there for 30+ years and loved it. I go back frequently. It's a wonderful city, and I've visited scores of cities and world capitals.

[DesertRhino]

Sorry ‘bout my proof reading,,,
was going to Say the Visit to the USS Olympia in Philly was great though. And Gettysburg,,, just wow.

[Loud Mime]

From the descriptions, the johns involved will get off with insanity pleas

[CaptRon]

The family that lays together stays together.

[DesertRhino]

I would say yes,, go,, get a cheesesteak,, see the sights,, but BE careful, and for heavens sake, cross the street with extreme care,, especially down by the riverwalk area.
Maybe im getting old.
The midwest seems so safe to me.
I don’t want Obama.
I should go to bed.

[Albion Wilde]

Given the quality of the merchandise I’m not sure their yearly income was above $42,000.

She said it would be $200 for both of them. At that rate, it would take 210 of those double tricks to make $42K; presumably the single trick would pull down less than $100. Looking at the daughter, who is presumably the more attractive of the two, somehow I doubt that they are raking in $42K's worth of action.

And that would be the gross; it would be even less after the Viagra and paper bags.

Thanks for your comments. The residential areas are different than the tourist areas, and of course, any city is a complex and dangerous environment that requires a learning curve to navigate. Having lived also in Washington, DC, I can definitely say that Philly is a lot more liveable and driveable, and certainly very walkable. It's a great town for the performing arts, for museums (the Philadelphia Art Museum is a treasure trove) and for restaurants of every type of ethnicity and cuisine, for sports, medicine, law, education (an Ivy League university and dozens of other colleges and universities in the city limits and just outside) and for enormous public festivals. The two rivers running through the city so close together in the central area is an unique and refreshing feature. Fairmount Park is the largest city park system in the country, and is full of antique-filled mansions that can be toured. There is boating on both rivers, and of course the Reading Terminal Market and the Italian Market are teeming with goodies. I'm just scratching the surface here.

Another small family business destroyed by the government.AWB

[MeekOneGOP]

Most asked question on their street corner:

“How much ???” :^D

[DesertRhino]

Ok,,,Sighhhhh, Albion Wilde, he’s right,,, see again my comment about bring country mouse, in the city.
And i did get out alive,,, and that museum where Rocky ran up the steps was cool,, the food was amazing,, and indy hall tour was 150% more respectful, solid and reverent than i would have dared expect in this PC age.

[DesertRhino]

I hate being wrong.. sighhhh

Didn’t actor Rob Lowe get busted with a video of him, a mother and daughter?

[Slings and Arrows]

I believe it was a lesbian and her bisexual (female) lover, who then stole the video camera. (Don’t ask me why I remember that.)

[Enterprise]

Mother looks like a crank user.

[MetaThought]

I bought 2 cars from craigslist.

[Albion Wilde]

It’s all good....

[ApplegateRanch]

wonderful city = oxymoron.

They may have wonderful things/places/activities.

They may have a preponderance of decent people.

They may even be a necessity, and provide necessary services for an entire state, region, or even nation.

BUT, neither in US travels, nor foreign, have I ever seen (let alone lived in) a “wonderful” city.

[NTHockey]

Live close enough - Delaware - to Filthadelphia to know enough to stay the h#!! out of there as much as possible. Even though my daughter lives there, she comes to MY house.

BTW, I grew up in the South Bronx. Filthadelphia is worse.

[personalaccts]

If she would have blamed Bush, Cheney, Haliburton, Global Warming, and predatory lenders it would have changed there game.

Did place did at one time as noted at about 1:58 in.

I'm appalled about the younger kids being around with this stuff going on.

According to the video, the 3 children, ages 3 to 7, belong to Tammy Smith, the 22 year old daughter.

She was fifteen with her first. Her Mom was 16 when Smith was born.

What a mess.
