    Mom Indicted for Hiring Stripper for Teen

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A mother faces criminal charges after she hired a stripper to dance at her 16-year-old son's birthday party. Anette Pharris, 34, has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and involving a minor in obscene acts. The boy's father, the stripper and two others also face charges.

    ``I tried to do something special for my son,'' Pharris said. ``It didn't harm him.''

    About 10 people under the age of 18 were at the birthday party in September, including minors who were not related to the family, authorities said.

    Police spokesman Don Aaron said minors are not permitted in adult establishments.

    ``A person shouldn't be allowed to circumvent that law by hiring a stripper, a lady who took all her clothes off and spent a good amount of time dancing around minors,'' he said.

    Anette Pharris took photos at the party and tried to have them developed at a nearby drug store. Drug store employees notified authorities, police said.

    ``Who are they to tell me what I can and can't show to my own children?'' the mother said.
    This raises several issues, including whether the State or parents get to make decisions about what is right and wrong, and whether or not this woman is insane, stoopid, or just a heck of a lot of fun.

    I purchased my first beer at age 12, and drank it with my dad on a beach in Mexico. I wrecked a truck at age 13 cause we'd all been drinking while hunting. I routinely placed wagers at the horse track for my dad and his friends (usually from the 7th race on, when they were intoxicated enough that the walk to the ticket window was too long). I got 'lucky' just after I turned 16, with a 23 year old. So maybe my perspective is a little skewed, I grew up in the old west when things were different'.

    Well, what's the Backroom verdict on mom's graduation present?

    I wish someone would buy me a stripper or a housewife(way better). Some places everything is legal.

    I say as long as it doesn't hurt anyone a secular state should allow anything.

    No one else really worried about this?! If I was living in the US and this sort of intrusion into social / private lives was evident, I would not be happy at all. Whatever next the locking up of teens because they watch soft pornography?! Very disturbing that the government should feel obliged to get into peoples lives so much, dear, dear.

    As to the mother, she must really love her son.

    Where all minors over the age of consent ?

    According to Griswold vs. Conneticut, the government has no say over the sexual practices of its citizens, since they are part of their private life. (Roe vs. Wade says the same)

    However, considering there were other people, the 'private' part might be hard to argue. I just think it's rather stupid they're trying to prosecute her.

    Yeah, isn't it up to the mother what she thinks is right? She hired a stripper, so what? I really don't see the problem.

    Dildo's are forbidden in Alabama, several sexual practices (sodomy for one) are forbidden in Texas, the Supreme Court could have a field day if some 'liberal' wanted to complain again.

    Heh, that'd be funny. National headlines along the lines of "US supreme court condones sodomy, dildo use".

    I think arresting her is a bit much. Maybe social services should knock around there a bit though.

    If it was only about her son, I would fully agree.

    However, does the mother have the right to interfere with what the parents of the other teenagers might consider appropriate?

    Personally, at the age of 16 I would have very much appreciated if I had been invited to a birthday party with a live strip-show

    Call me a liberal but I don't think the government should tell you what you can do with your own bottom, or any other consenting bottom for that matter. Its time to tell Big Government to get its hands off our bottoms, people.

    Anyway, there is a major leap of (il)logic from saying minors are not allowed in strip clubs (ie on their own) to saying minors are not allowed to watch strippers if their parents are present and approve.

    Is there not very much crime in Nashville so the police were bored?

    What is the legal age of consent in this state?

    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    I believe it's 18 across the US, in some states the legal marriage age is as young as 14, but I think statutory rape laws may still apply.

    I think it's kind of creepy having parents hire strippers for your birthday party, but I'm not going to judge here. My only problem was that other children were present who's parents may or may not hold the same views.

    hello, as far as I am concerned, the mother seems to have some issues if she's hiring a stripper...

    But from the point of view she got consent from all the parents...and obviously the kids then I guess it's not really wrong is it?

    Well from a 14 year old's point of view...there's something very right with it but I really don't think mothers should exactly be doing that when there are 14 year olds present

    I believe it's 18 across the US, in some states the legal marriage age is as young as 14, but I think statutory rape laws may still apply.
    What the Monkey? so I can get married but can't have sex with my wife I am 14 btw if you don't get the joke

    It seems to me to be in rather poor taste to hire a stripper for your own son. I could see it as a crime if one of the under-age kids complained, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It really shouldn't be any concern of the police in any case.

    I've heard oral sex is also a crime in some US states - is that true? (and if it is - what a shame...)

    And enough on the tasmanian jokes already - we have a tasmanian princess here in Denmark now, and we're very happy with her.
    Nope - no sig what so ever.

    What bs. If the kids didn't complain what's the big deal?

    I'm pretty sure someone being nude doesn't scar anyone. Someone molesting the children is a whole other story, but viewing nudity is not hard for anyone to take whatever their age.

    from http://www.theonionavclub.com/savage...php?issue=4122
    (a sex advice column by a gay columnist)

    I thought you would like to know a Wisconsin State lawmaker is trying to ban the University of Wisconsin's student health center from dispensing, advertising, or prescribing birth control, including emergency contraception for rape victims. Representative Daniel LeMahieu (R-Oostburg), who sponsored the bill, says birth control "encourages female promiscuity."

    Just another battle in the religious right's war on sexuality.
