Prosecutor: Mom Pierced Girl Over Sex Issues
Prosecutor: Mom Pierced Girl Over Sex Issues
Woman Accused Of Shaving Daughter's Head, Piercing Genitalia

NAPLES, Fla. -- A 39-year-old woman is on trial after being accused of forcefully having her 13-year-old daughter's genitalia pierced to make it uncomfortable for her to have sex.

The girl, now 16, told jurors on Wednesday how her mother in 2004 asked a tattoo artist friend to shave her head to make her unattractive to boys and later held her down for the piercing.

"She was trying to protect me, but it hurt me," the girl testified in her mother's trial on two counts of aggravated child abuse. "It not only hurt me physically, but it hurt me mentally. ... That's emotionally scarring. That's physical abuse."

Prosecutor Steve Maresca said the mother called on a friend to shave the girl's head and do the piercing after realizing that she had been having sex -- including with the mother's boyfriend.

5. Standard practice in many countries
Look up "female genital mutilation."

9. Also look up such horrors as breast binding
to flatten the chest and make the girl unattractive.

People abuse their daughters in all sorts of ways in a futile attempt to control their sexuality and keep them abstinent.

Do the kid a favor, just take her for a Depo shot every three months. Yes, it's risky, but it's less painful than the other things we do to our daughters to try to make them afraid of sex.

Also tell her what she needs to do to protect herself against disease.

Please.

3. Did Mommy also have her boyfriend's dick pierced?
Sounds to me like he's the one that needed a "painful reminder". What a family.

7. So Mommy-dearest's boyfriend and tattoo-friend are being prosecuted too? I hope?
Christ on a trailer hitch. Why didn't she go after her cheating, child-molesting boyfriend?

Ew.

8. Exactly. Instead of protecting her child she treated her as a rival.

11. According to the story
"Tammy "Tattoo Tammy" Meredith, 43, who did the piercing in her home, was sentenced to a year in jail for her role. An arrest warrant has been issued for the mother's boyfriend for allegedly having sex with the girl."
