Children’s Protective Services would more than likely remove a child from a parent who told them to become a prostitute.
“They should, and they would,” said family law attorney Mike Schneider.
Keisha Bazley has nine kids. She turned to Child Protective Services to help her with her 14-year-old daughter, who she says was running away and causing trouble at school,
“My daughter told me that the worker had been telling her she should do these things, so she said she decided to video her,” Bazley said.
CPS is housing the girl at a hotel. She’s one of dozens of foster kids living at hotels in Harris County.
In the video, the girl tells the CPS employee she wants food. The CPS worker tells her to be a prostitute.
“And giving her an incentive to do so, and almost a threat of not having her needs being met, if she didn’t do what this woman very explicitly told her to do,” Schneider said.
“If me, the parent, was to do something like this to my child, I would be bashed,” said Bazley. “I would be called a horrible parent. I would lose my kids.”
