I am going to be a webcam model and I’m a Mom of school aged children. I wanted to know if anyone has an idea about it being okay to webcam while the children sleep in their rooms at night while I cam in my bedroom while my doors are locked. I ask this because summer vacation is starting soon and I won’t be able to cam while they are home and awake obviously (nor would I ever want to). Please let me know because I did read this article and something was mentioned about a sex worker bringing someone in the home. I wouldn’t technically have it around my children because it would be just me and the cam locked in my bedroom. I saw a Dr. Phil show about a woman who was a wife and had at least one child who did it, but there was no actual final word about if it was legal or not (just that she shouldn’t). In my situation, webcam modeling seems to be my last remaining option for work. I just don’t want to do wrong.

CPS – i meant to say. like I said, I’m tired. My response is not perfect. But I would feel irresponsible to read this and not say something. You don’t want to think its ok if you do nothing wrong, your going to be ok, and just be polite. you want to know your rights and tell them NO, don’t let them in your house. its like a vampire or such. a very serious issue of classism, racism, and sexism going on with this stuff. being too scared isn’t my point but I also felt so glad when my daughter turned 18 and I felt “no one can take you away from me”. Ive had CPS called on friends for breastfeeding, holistic medicine, having too many people living in your house, and having an ex partner being picked up driving drunk. (obv. I am very white privileged! as there are much much worse stories) Once your in the system, its difficult. cps is an intense subject. this essay seems like its talked to them but not to parents who have navigated issues. information is power. parenting is always put under the spotlight of pressure, making you more vulnerable, but you can do it!

Big underline to everything Ms Sassy Sherry said!

reading this column is really upsetting to me as a low income white single welfare mom and to many stories and experiences i have seen around me, plus experienced personally, with CPR. they are not reasonable. However the link in this blog entry to what you should know – is excellent!: http://www.houstontexascpslawyer.com/blog/2010/08/11/what-you-should-know-if-cps-targets-you-or-your-family/

is excellent.

no offense but I don’t believe the person who wrote this column is a marginalized parent. its a good topic. but you need to be warned more about CPR. sure be polite. and know your rights! i don’t feel my response is very carefully done but this just needs to be really really underlined.

I have worked with CPS and I have refused to allow them in another time. O hate CPS and am glad my last child is 18. If I had known my rights at the beginning, I would have ALWAYS refused to talk to them. Also, if a CPS worker goes to the kid’s school and talks to the kids without your knowledge, they are violating the kid’s fourth rights amendments. You can file a paper with the school that tells them they are not allowed to let CPS speak to the kids.
CPS is not regulated by a governing body, they so what they want to whom they want, without having to answer for their actions. Please learn your states laws when dealing with them, but if I were anyone in this situation, I would REFUSE their involvement every time

Thank you for this. I also think “anti-trafficking” narratives are impacting custody issues. These narratives of sexual danger allow the state an unfettered, paternalistic kind of access into the private lives of women.

It’s maddening.
