View Comments

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Oakland police have arrested a suspected prostitute who allegedly left her newborn babies in a car while she worked.

   The Oakland Tribune says the 25-year-old Stockton woman was arrested Wednesday afternoon during a sting operation. Her name wasn’t immediately released.

   Police say the woman was seen loitering on 16th Avenue near a dirty Oldsmobile. She allegedly agreed to paid sex and got into the car of an undercover policeman.

   Sgt. Roland Holmgren says she was stopped a few blocks away and told officers that her 1-month-old boy and girl were in her car. They were found sleeping in car seats and were turned over to child welfare officials.

   Holmgren says the woman said she needed money to get home to Stockton and asked: “What else am I supposed to do?”‘

    A rich actor has three girlfriends living in his house and announces it to the world. He showers them with money, gifts and other things. On a quid pro quo basis, he receives constant sexual favors and their company. There are children in the house. The whole world knows about it . Prostitution.. NOT.

    Who knew it was take your children to work day yesterday. I think the officer should have been more understanding and let her go. what’s wrong with this world when you get arrested for working and trying to put food and drugs on the table. tisk tisk.

    • silversage

      Let her go! We are a nation of such hypocrites!! Agreed about feeding her babies. There was no mention of drugs in the report.

      • Ladybug258

        What about the poor babies left ALONE in the car ???? This is NOT my definition of a mother!

  • Tom

    Ja Ja Ja Ja Ja..you are an idiot mister.

    • Bob #2

      No Tom you are the idiot for thinking that crimials are Ok…hope they get you next…would solve at least one problem

      • NoRacistRemarks

        Bob, get a freakn life. Let you without sin cast the first stone stupid

  • Summer

    OMG, too funny Phill!!

  • CONI

    Hey Bob there are a lot of “LEGALS” scamming the system too STUPIDO

    • Bob #2

      Sounds like you know how to do that.

  • 100% Mexican and what BOB

    Bob your are an Idiot!!!!! Get a life how does this story have anything to do with illegal mexicans taking advantage of the system

  • cmore

    And to dear Bob. Who in the hell do you think picks your produce each year as you are stuffing your ignorant face. It sure isn’t the Blacks, cause they are to busy selling their drugs and being pimps.There are thousands of seasonal jobs and it is the Mexican people who are doing them. Illegal or not, they are not afraid to work.You are sure not going to see other races out in those hot fields.And i just bet that this prostitute was that “other race”.

    • Mpinga

      How could you in one sentence criticize Bob for his racist comments and in the next do the exact same thing. You are just as full of hate as Bob, you poor & confused thing. Try growing up and letting go of whatever it is that has you so angry.

  • old fart

    I feel sorry for the woman. Maybe she could move to Nevada where its legal then she could put the kids in day care. Why people always want to play the race card can’t we all just get along.

  • Eddy

    Yes, Tom Tom, you are the idiot. A woman will do anything to feed her kids. A lioness will hunt for any game in the jungle to feed her hungry cubs. This woman should be treated with sympathy and helped socially to get back on her feet. Arresting her is never a solution or good for the society. Let’s legalize prostitution and limit its practice to restricted areas as they do in Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark to name a few!

  • Libnda Ybarra

    what is wrong with alll of you?
    What about those poor babies?
    What if mom happen to get in the car with some crazy ass person and was killed? Maybe the officer saved her life!
    Maybe she will rethink her posssibilties.
    believe it or not we have choices. Race should not even have come up!!

  • Ordinary Man

    She definitely chose a wrong path and endangered her kids. But lets take a look at the whole picture with an unbiased mind. A mother leaving her kids in a car to have sex with a stranger just for money – a very sad story. If she had the money I don’t think she would ever leave her kids in a car like that. Now these kids will be away from the mother, she’ll be in jail and the father – who know where? The cop did their job…maybe saved her and her kids from being in to more troubles. But where does it go after that? How does our society back them up? What is our society doing to prevent such things happening at the first place? Wish we didn’t have any single story like this anywhere in our nation. But I can only wish.

  • Chelle

    My heart goes out to this woman and her children. Obviously, she had to do what she must to feed herself and her children. We want to believe that her arrest may have done some good….but my fear is that the system is so flawed that her arrest has now placed these children in an even worse situation and set her back even further.

    • Angie

      You are exactly right, Chelle. The foster care system is so flawed that many children end up dying or being abused nearly to death in the homes that are supposed to be a better alternative. It’s critical we not just sit and judge, but as was mentioned earlier, find a way to actually prevent these things from happening. Implementing significant changes that will eventually better our society. If you pay attention, you will notice that stories of abuse, neglect, sexual assault and murder of children by caretakers is skyrocketing. We are in a serious crisis in this nation. And more children will continue to be born into these situations, and if they survive, perpetuate the cycle. Unless WE (that is YOU ALL and ME) help make a change.

  • E.R

    Prostitution is wrong, much less having babies in the car, that would be endangerment. Come on fokes, apparently people here do not know right from wrong. If she is a fit mother,she could have sought help from police dept, fire dept, hospital. Or she could have called someone for help, prostitution is not a means to the end.

  • timatoe

    I don’t give a squirt about her working the streets. But 100% she should go to jail for leaving the babies in the car.

  • JimmyBriden

    Bob, or whatever ur name is…u want the illegals’ jobs? What? No? Too hard for u? Stop sounding like a tea-bagger and put your money where your mouth is. Unless you are working those jobs your ignorant comments are meaningless. Moron.

  • JimmyBriden

    Give her a break! She’s doing men a good service! Oh, wait, she did not pay her fees to “work”…..well, then too bad for her.

  • Gina Luna

    BAD MOTHER!

  • Leanna Wardlaw

    THATS REALLY SAD….SOME WOMEN DONT DESERVE CHILDREN

  • Obama Jr

    OMG she is so monster hot! She should move to Hollywood and become an actress. I’m thinking of maybe a Baywatch spinoff called Ghetto Watch…
