It's easy to say that trading your 14-year-old daughter for a car is wrong, but you've got to consider the circumstances.

The woman at the center of the controversy was living in her car with her two daughters, ages 11 and 14. Now I don't have to tell you how hard it is to make ends meet, what with all the outsourcing to China and everything, so the mother sometimes traded sex for food and showers. Being a single parent is hard, so who could blame her for asking her kids to chip in with the chores and the blowjobs and what not. The 11-year-old was a little trooper and obliged, but the 14-year-old wouldn't do anybody. Teenagers. So when some man offered a car in exchange for the older child, what choice did the mother have but to take the deal? It was a Mercury Cougar, after all.

According to the article:

[The man] never gave the mother the vehicle. He was arrested in the case.

It's unclear whether he was arrested for breach of the verbal contract to give the woman the car or for practicing slavery.


The Mercury Cougar, above, is worth at least one relatively healthy white girl under 16. Driver's side airbags are standard.
