A Monroe, Mich., mother is being investigated for offering a pawn shop employee sexual favors from her daughter in exchange for dropping a $25 extension fee on her $120 laptop payment, says My Fox Detroit. Here are details about this case.
* Al Hassan, an employee at DaSilva's Pawn Shop in Southgate, Mich., contacted police after a customer offered to perform a sex act on him when she couldn't pay the $25 extension on the laptop.
* According to Fox Detroit, the woman, whose name is being withheld, said: "What about me and my daughter can do something for you in the back room?"
* Store surveillance cameras showed the woman in the store and her daughter playing and jumping around. When the mother mentioned the proposition, the clerk reported the daughter said, "Not me this time, Mom. You mean you."
* Police investigated the 36-year-old woman's townhouse and found the 10-year-old child in no immediate danger. As of Wednesday, the News Herald reports the child has not been removed from the home.
* The mother admitted to police she had promised the clerk a sexual favor if he would overlook the deposit owed on the laptop but adds she was joking and she had not included her daughter in the offer.
* The mother stated the clerk probably misunderstood her because of the way she phrased the offer but she didn't say she was offering sex from her daughter.
* In an interview with News 4, the mother denies doing anything wrong. She calls the offer "flirting" but that she wasn't serious. "I don't want to be seen as a bad mom because I needed the $25 for gas and groceries."
* Child Protective Services is following up with the mother and child, but a supervisor told USA Today that confidentiality laws prevent case workers from discussing details of the investigation.
* Police are still trying to determine if the mother's comment was a misunderstanding or a blatant proposition. The video camera only places the woman and child in the store; it does not give them access to the verbal exchange or any corroborating witnesses.
* Det. Lt. Edward Sukel told the News Herald that, "we're cautiously moving forward because, of course, we want to make sure we know what we have and not make any rash decisions."
