NASHVILLE, Tenn.  — A mother faces criminal charges after she hired a stripper to dance at her 16-year-old son's birthday party.

Anette Pharris, 34, has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and involving a minor in obscene acts. The boy's father, the stripper and two others also face charges.

"I tried to do something special for my son," Pharris said. "It didn't harm him."

About 10 people under the age of 18 were at the birthday party in September, including minors who were not related to the family, authorities said.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said minors are not permitted in adult establishments.

"A person shouldn't be allowed to circumvent that law by hiring a stripper, a lady who took all her clothes off and spent a good amount of time dancing around minors," he said.

Anette Pharris took photos at the party and tried to have them developed at a nearby drug store. Drug store employees notified authorities, police said.

"Who are they to tell me what I can and can't show to my own children?" the mother said.

Cool Mom, too bad the anal rententive yokels had to spoil the party.

Or a cell phone with a camera.  Easier to send little Timmy's birthday party pics to grandma.

Although i would of loved something like this for my 16th birthday, I would like to know who she thinks she is to be able to decide what other peoples kids can and can't do. Did she not think that other parents might find out as well once these kids started talking at school.

I suspect at the heart of this is a woman who still wants to be part of the "gang", one of the cool types, and in this sad event she was trying to be one of the "cool moms".

She needs to learn to accept her age, accept that she isn't a teenager any longer, and accept that she is a Mother now and should act like it, not like a foolish teenager.

If she can't provide maturity and judgement, setting a decent example, they will never learn it.

34-16=18. Smells like a Prom baby to me lol. I'm guessing this isn't the only thing she's done to be one of the cool kids.

What she did was ILLEGAL, regardless of how "cool" you think it was. Besides the fact she is pretty stupid, considering the fact that they are not all HER children. She's lucky one of the other boys mothers didn't whip her prettythang. The "yokels", as you call them, are tasked with enforcing the LAW, perhaps you've heard of the LAW. I suppose it would have been okay if she'd bought them a keg as well.

And people wonder what's wrong with this country, and why the children end up screwed up half the time. It's really obvious to those with common sense.

The fact that they saw a stripper is not the point. It's the circumstances. If "mom' is buying a stripper for a 16 year old's birthday party, you have to wonder (at least if you have any common sense) what ELSE she's buying, or allowing him to have or do.

You see, or perhaps only want to see, a single isolated incident. Having recently seen a "mom" who took her daughter and daughter's friend out to get pierced and get some crack, I see something else down the road.

The parent has a responsibility to the child to teach the child to respect laws, even those they disagree with, not to encourage the child to break the law, or to break it for them. The parent also has a responsibility to respect the other children, AND their parents.

The fact that some 16 year olds saw some live T&A is not the problem here. The problem here is that "mom" wants to be one of the kids, and not "mom". That's a bad thing, regardless of how fun and harmless you may think the live T&A show was.

I like T&A and sex as much or more than anyone, I'm no prude. I'm just also a parent, with a 17 year old girl and a 10 year old boy. When it comes to being a parent, I am an adult, and I accept the responsibility and be the parent. It might be the ONLY time I'm an adult about anything, but it's the time that counts the most.
