SOUTH GLENS FALLS, N.Y. - A New York mother was charged Monday for hiring two strippers for her son's 16th birthday party, police said.



South Glens Falls police said 33-year-old Judy Viger faces five counts of child endangerment for hiring two women to perform lewd dances for five teens under the age of 17 at a bowling alley on Nov. 3, 2012.



The investigation began after people concerned about the party showed authorities racy photos posted online. Police said the dancers performed personal and intimate dances on the teenagers, CBS affiliate WRGB-TV reported.



A person who works at the company where Viger allegedly hired the strippers told WRGB-TV that the incident was blown out of proportion and that the dancers were unaware the teens were underage.



Viger is due in court on March 7.

Obviously there were adults present and there was no nudity.



My question: Do you think she should have been charged? Why or why not?

As the incident involved a child all discretion and reasonableness about the matter and discussion of the mother's poor judgement are removed and you can be held as suspicious because you dare question the filing of charges to protect the child.

Wouldn't exactly call it good parenting, but involving the police seems a bit excessive.

Seems like the most embarrassing thing really.

Wouldn't make the news if they did

Would you have wanted this for your 16th birthday, Sci?

Kinda. The whole situation seems far too awkward to me

I don't even remember what it is I did for my 16th birthday as it is. o.0

Maybe some repressed memories
