This case is getting weirder

Woman charged in case of girl, 14, caught stripping

Last month a 14-year-old girl was caught stripping by her parents at Camelot West, a club on Alexandria Drive. She had stripped for two nights before getting caught. I'm sure she's at the very least grounded as we speak.

The manager of the club, Robert Shields, was cited for endangering the welfare of a minor because the fake ID the girl used to get the job did not resemble her.

Now it turns out a 32-year-old woman, Tina G. Hobbs, has admitted to taking the young girl to the club after giving her some pills and then said she later received money from her after she finished stripping. She was charged Tuesday with third-degree unlawful transaction with a minor.

If I were the parent in this case, I would be so utterly pissed with my daughter and the adults involved. I don't care if an adult strips; that's her or his choice. But a fourteen-year-old? It never should have come to that.
