In the US a woman in New York state pleaded not guilty last week to multiple charges of child endangerment after other parents complained that she hired female strippers for her son’s 16th birthday party. If convicted, Judy Viger faces up to a year in jail.
Viger was arrested after the parents of 5 teenage partygoers saw Facebook pictures of the scantily clad dancers performing dance routines at the party last November.
“The parents of the children who attended had no idea that the adult female entertainers would be present & were shocked & stunned when they discovered what had occurred,” the Saratoga County district attorney, James A. Murphy, III, said (with a straight face) in a statement released at the time of Viger’s arrest.
“Pictures of the event & the dancers first surfaced in the media after they were posted to one of the attendees’ Facebook page,” Murphy said.
If convicted of any or all of the counts of “endangering the welfare of a child,” Viger faces a maximum of one year behind bars as any sentence would run concurrently since the counts stem from a single incident, according to a court spokesperson (she must be relieved to hear that, & of course it is always possible the strippers were armed, in which case it’s going to be hard to get an acquittal anyway).
For her son’s 17th birthday it is reported that she intends to give out fire-arms as party favors & will encourage at least 5 of the putative guests to go home & demonstrate to parents just how “un-endangered” they are by the event.
Way to go, mom!
