Florida Teen Calls Police On Mom For Having Sex

Parents, here's another reason to keep those lovemaking noises down to a minimum: Your teen might call the cops on you.

A 15-year-old Florida girl did exactly that after she awoke to sounds of her 35-year-old mother having sex on Jan. 19, according to a police report obtained by the Smoking Gun.

No, this wasn't some embarrassing mix-up; the girl knew exactly what her mom was up to and told police she felt disrespected by her actions.

The teen reportedly asked police to take her to a local shelter but later changed her mind.

According to the police report, the mother said "she didn't intend to wake her daughter up."

Getting caught in the act is surely awkward, but knowing how to approach the uncomfortable topic with children can help parents better prepare for such unfortunate incidents.

Dr. G, a clinical associate professor and HuffPost blogger, says parents should consider just telling the truth.

After her son questioned the noises coming from her bedroom, Dr. G said she sat him down and explained what he overheard.

And he took the news pretty well, replying with a simple, "Oh. I'm glad you're OK."

So today's lesson, as Dr. G explains in her blog, is: "Lock the door. Be quiet. And consider telling the truth if you get 'caught.'"

Oh, and definitely hope your kid doesn't call the cops.

Kids like sex for the most part, except when their parents do it. Mom and Dad do it and then it's gross.

Perhaps children today are becoming more aware and the parents are getting dumber. I do agree however that kids today are outta control - perhaps due to their early growth of intelligence

Perhaps the degrading quality of construction allows more sounds to travel farther. Otherwise the 15 y.o. is a selfish brat. This breach of trust is a bad sign.

I think this girl is out of control. My mother abused me terribly and I never called the cops on her. I wish I had but this girl's mother is not the one being abusive.

I honestly think this is more than a angry teenager, there's probably more going on than that.

Uh who's house is this 15yr old girl living in? And who's paying the bills?

And how does that 15 year old think she came into existance?!? Hello, you're the result of sex but *gasp* once you were born all sex should have stopped immediately!

Can anyone say IPOD!!! Having sex in your own home is not a crime. I can't believe some suggested she go to a motel. This is a natural part of life people. Kids have way too much power these days. You can;t even punish them without fearing repercussions. She should have learned a real lesson and been charged with filing a false report or something.

I had this couple that used to live above me that would wake me up at 3am with their "matress olypmics". A friend of mine suggested calling the police and just saying that i "heard a disturbance" so they would send someone over. I ended up getting a girlfriend and getting even with them instead. Her and I moved into our own place about 6 months later (on the top floor).

The girl shouldn't have called the cops of course, but the mom was making too much noise. What if the mom was playing the drums in her bedroom?
Mom should respect her daughter and keep it down. The mom wouldn't appreciate it if the daughter was making too much noise as well.
The mom should think about the feelings of her daughter

As if this is something new. Parents have been waking up kids for a thousand years, but suddenly this generation should be spared the reality that their parents have sex? The girl can put a pillow over her head, plug in the $200 Ipod her mom bought her, watch the TV with the 100+ channels that the mom pays for, and so on.

The girl needs to get over it...the girl exists because of sex.

plain and simple, who wants to hear their parent(s) going at it? If the mom didn't consider that fact, than at east she should have had some consideration for other who were trying to get some sleep. Take it to a motel!
I doubt this was the daughters first experience with this issue.

I'm thinking you're an adult legally, but not really grown mentally. Parents with teenagers have sex in their OWN bedroom. Grow up and get over it.

I have to disagree with you. A teenager probably wouldn't care if their parents were having sex. They might be grossed out or laugh about it. But it probably wouldn't bother them beyond that.

But what if the guy her mother was having sex with was a stranger? What if the girl had just met him? Then all kind of other fair and reasonable issues emerge:

Is he good enough for her mother? Is he just using her mother? Is he going to end up being her stepfather? Is he a jerk? Is he going to come between her and her mother? Is she going to lose some of her mother's affections and time spent with her?

These are all perfectly reasonable questions. So the daughter was justified in being upset. Unless these questions were settled in a way that the daughter was satisfied with, it would be an ongoing problem. Of course if the man had noble intentions, the daughter would have to try to compromise a little herself.

It also depends on what the mother is like. Is she a terrible mother? Is she so self-centered that she ignores her daughters needs and only cares about getting laid? There could be many extenuating circumstances here that we don't know about.

Of course, her mother may be a fine mother, and the kid could be a spoiled brat who was just trying to be a pain in the buttocks. It's hard to say.

All valid questions. However we know none of the answers, neither does the daughter. Which is why she uber over reacted. Your last paragraph made the most sense.

"they can have it on their lawn for all *anyone* cares. Common courtesy is often NICE.
My aren't you projecting­, having some challenges controllin­g your temper? "

I have no temper, assuming so, shows little of your own maturity. Think about this, when parents of multiple child families, you really think they're going to go to a motel? Get real and grow up.

You can write what you will but if you have to resort to calling names and using CAPITAL letters to express your point- you are more than a little radical.
You confuse your lack of intellect with some abstract concept you've defined as "maturity".
One can have 100 kids and still keep the volume down and let their kids rest. People in hotels will complain if they are awakened by other's noise, can a child not expect the same respect being payed by a 'parent'. You are arguing that this parent should woop it up at any volume, in any manor, despite how it affects her child????? You are an absolute idiot- plain and simple.

I'll now bid all a sweet au revoir les enfants, as I've now got to get in touch with my Korean offices and make some income.

Keep it clean, and don't call each other names over childish disagreements.

Bottom line is, lots of teenagers don't like the thought of their parents having sex, even with each other. And if the child regrets or resents their parents' separation, they're even more likely to dislike the idea of their parent having sex with anyone else.

[wmechaneer]

Either the parent respects the child's issues, or faces the consequences of playing "boss." This Mom "lost" as she's now got a bigger problem, and that's the national attention to her bedroom antics and bad parenting skills.

Perhaps she'll rethink that "I'm bigger than you" approach and begin real mature parenting.

[blue rylie]

10:09 PM on 01/26/2012

Yes because having sex is really a sign of bad parenting...or perhaps having sex is just a sign of PARENTING since that's how the kid came to exist in the first place. You don't have sex, have a kid, and then never have sex again because you must spare the kid some discomfort when they hear noises.

How about the child respecting the parent?

[blue rylie]

Your response to me is still pending, but I'm going to go ahead and give you my response now...since I'm guessing your other post will be removed due to content anyway.

So let's clear some things up.

Your response speaks far more about you than it does about me. You first assume that the mom is using the “I’m bigger than you” theory, which the article says nothing about. You further assume the man was a stranger and then refer to the woman as the “town pump” assuming she's promiscuous, again something not referenced in ANY fashion in the article.

You go on to state that the parents must concede to the child’s objects while speaking of this as if it’s respect. Caving to your child’s every personal, moral, or supposed ethical objection is not parenting…it’s allowing the child to run the house and since they are, in fact, the child they have neither the experience or ability to make such decisions.

Finally, your statement that I will one day rape a woman is unfounded and uncalled for on every level. Disagreeing with you is hardly an indication of a potential rapist. First, I’m a woman, not a man as you assumed. Second, I’m a rape survivor. Third and finally, I’m an adult who has not in any fashion at ANY TIME on this website or any other condoned a single act of violence…EVER.

You post speaks volumes about you, but says little to nothing about me.

lol..the poor 15 year old child...she heard her mom having sex. Now, the mom isn't suppose to make noise having sex??? I think this child needs to write to Hugh Hefner. So why didn't the poor 15 year old child just move to the couch to sleep and speak to her mother the next morning? Maybe they could have found an easy solution. I hope this kid never hears her mother fart she might phone the Fire Department.

I think the daughter would have more reason to fear the effect that he mother's new boyfriend might have on her life than she would fear the effects of one of her mother's farts. One could have potentially permanent implications. The other could be resolved by quickly jumping up and leaving the general vicinity.

:-)

Still, it was a funny line. Now if her mother was *igniting* her farts, that would be a different story. Something like that could get out of hand.

If this happened to me, I'd tell that stuck-up little missy that if she feels that way, then she MUST go a shelter for a while, and would not accept her sudden change of mind after the police visit--and drive her myself there if needed. How incredibly arrogant from that teen, to treat her mom like a drone slave. Now Florida is a weird state, with all kind of laws, is having sex in your own home a crime there? What could the home owner be possibly have been charged with?

[optimiskeptic]

03:39 AM on 01/26/2012

So you would have gotten into a big power struggle with your daughter. Well, from my experience working at a residential program for teens, shelters don't always take kids just because their parents want to drop them off; though they might have done some conflict resolution to help you and your daughter resolve the situation. You seem to forget that 15-year-olds aren't that mature, and are embarrassed by their parent's sexuality. Fortunately, this mom and her daughter were able to work things out without near the drama; Mom said she hadn't intended to wake her daughter, and after speaking to a representative from the shelter, the girl decided that she didn't want to leave her home because "it was almost time for school." That's all it took.

[Libertarian5]

08:28 AM on 01/26/2012

What "conflict resolution"--will Mom, a healthy adult, have to go back to her celibate state? Or what do you think will happen when Mom needs sex again, and, well, sex makes noice? That teen is weird. I agree that shelters do not take teens just on a parent's say-so, and a year of military boarding school would be better, probably (she'd have to go if the parent decides). If that teen gets the idea that she can call the cops on her mom at every whim, boy, she'll be learning a few things the hard way once she's 18 and on her own.
