So, I would appreciate it if people would stop the rude and ignorant comments and get a life!!! My mom is doing GREAT now!!! I don't live in Utica but me and her are extremely close and I support her every step of the way. She is receiving help and trying to build her life and is a VERY beautiful person inside and out so don't be fooled by the photo!!!!

First, like to respond to the person who commented "Why mom, this is so embarassing..." first of all, the woman on the right (yes the Black one) happens to be my mother. You have no reason to feel "embarrassed" or ashamed by this. When I found out my mom got arrested for "soliciting" I was appalled! For the person who wrote "Wonder what their daughters are doing?" Well I am one of her daughters that attends college and is about to graduate in December!!!!

Clearly most of u are ingnorant and idiotic for judging them because their actions are produced by society!!! They were not born that way and are good people at heart but living in a world where inequality is perpetuated causes ppl to make difficult decisions. They have to feed their families and make ends meet and being that UT lack resources they have no support!!!! Flag for moderationTuesday, Oct 14 at 5:04 PM Ignorant ppl like some of the ones above disgust me!!!! Its very obvious that most of the ppl who wrote the comments are uneducated wrote ...society needs to wake up and pay attention to the issues that are taken place. People are so ignorant and uneducated to the point it has become digusting!!!! These women are victims of the capitalitic, oppressed, and exploited society we live in today. They are human beings just like u and me so don;t be so quick to judge because u truly do not know them!!!! The media is so quick to portray and lablel them as "prostitutes" but in reality they became caught up in a web of events Flag for moderationFriday, Oct 10 at 8:23 PM eric wrote ..."Bill" says he understands why they do what they do.they "are in the throes of an addiction that wants them dead" and goes on to recommend ACC. Interesting read and all, Bill but unless you know these "ladies" you know nothing of the sort. And even if they are addicts, they are no less responsible for their behaviors. As for those who are so offended at the concept of not publishing pics of the men, the article clearly states that the "john" was an undercover cop - great idea! sheesh!

They are in the throes of an addiction that wants them dead. There is help for them but they have to want to live a different lifestyle. They live hopeless lives dreaming unreal dreams, but there is hope. One does not know what one does not know. Sign yourselves into ACC ladies and let the recovery journey begin.
