A 15-year-old girl called 911 to report she could hear her mom having sex, according to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun. The website reports:

The girl, 15, told an officer that she wanted to go to a local shelter “because she heard her mother having sex” and “felt disrespected” by her 35-year-old parent’s actions. The teen acknowledged that “there was no form of abuse or neglect in the house.”

The mother explained to police that she had invited her boyfriend over and “sometime during the visit, her daughter heard them having sex and became upset.” The woman added that “their bedrooms are next to each other and she didn’t intend to wake her daughter up.”

Though it may have been a crime of passion, no one was arrested. The daughter eventually decided that she'd rather live at home, despite the cringe-worthy noise, than go to a local teen shelter. One can only imagine the awkward silence around the breakfast table the next morning. 

Parents, have your kids ever walked in on you having sex, or overheard? How did you deal with it?

Well its perfectly normal to be a bit put off by the sounds of ones parents having sex. We just have trouble thinking of our parents as sexual beings. I can remember hearing my own parents all the time as a child and being kind of grossed out by it. In fact even to this day if I’m with a woman who makes sexual noises very similar to those my mother used to make it creeps me out to the point where I find it hard to even continue. Fortunately to date only about two percent of the women I’ve been with have made those exact same types of sounds though. Anyway, as I said, its normal to be creeped out by the thought of our parents having sex but calling the police about it is certainly not normal. I suspect there are much deeper issues between this mother and daughter than just noisy sex on the part of the mother. And let’s face it, the years between 15 and 18 are always going to be the toughest. Hopefully they will not kill each other before the daughter can legally live on her own.

Hate to tell you this Ken but if the man is doing it right, a woman is definitely going to make some noise. Some guys are actually turned the hell on by a woman who is, er, vocally appreciative.

As far as the story is concerned, NOBODY is comfortable when dealing with the sexuality of our parents or young adult children. Sex is intensely private and most of us have at least some sort of inhibitions when it comes to other people knowing about it.

As for calling the police on her mother, the teenager was being a real brat, but having raised 4 children I can truthfully say that teen girls are definitely worse in the attitude department than teen boys and its no wonder that up until 2 to 3 generations ago, folks used to marry their daughters off young. 15 was considered marraigeable age back in my grandparents' day (I'm 51), and 18 to 21 in my mother's generation.

Of course that beats the age 12 to 14 common for most of human history and even right on up through the mid-to-late 18th century.

    This is why this country is going down the drain, people have lost it. while we all know that have sex is normal and natural without denials, as adults we have to know that there is the wrong way, and the right way for everything. if you have no decency to respect your own kids, then probably you won't respect other outside youngers. how can young people learn to behave if you don't teach the right way. let's not kid our selves, good things begins at home or at least we must try. remember, there is no rights for easy and freebies. but there is always the right way for achievements of any kind.

For all we know, the little prima dona had her ear pressed to the wall and chose a golden opportunity to be a brat and get rid of mom's boyfriend she didn't care for. Either way, in a two bedroom apt., where were they supposed to go, in the kitchen?

          As a parent, sex is a completely different animal lol. You don't get to do it as loud as you want, on the top of the stove anymore. It's all about waiting for the right opportunity and being quick and quiet. Or you can make other arrangements for your kid. I'm not a prude at all, just thinking back to walking in on my aunt and uncle when I was 15 and how it scarred me lol. It was awful. And I knew all about sex, somehow that made it worse. This mother also needs to understand that having men over probably isn't the best idea when you've got a young girl. If I were divorced and dating you'd be damn sure I wouldn't be having my boyfriend over for a late night booty call with my 15 yr old home. Kinda like smokin a joint in front of your kids and then getting pissed off when they come home high.

          Are you kidding? I am proud of her, the teenager. Why should she have to listen to her mother getting banged by her lover? Hopefully, when the police came, the lover won't go back. It is appalling to be banging and your children in the house. Whoremongers!

          I agree, at 15, she should have known not to call the police. Now it's in the local blotter, national syndication and probably in her school. She should have been told to go to the shelter because of your immature stupidity. Just think, next year she could get a drivers license and be in control of a 4000 lb weapon. SCARY THOUGHT.

          Maybe the girl has more morals than her mom and knows you're only supposed to do that when you're married. I don't blame her for feeling uncomfortable, but 911 is for emergencies, which this clearly wasn't. I would have probably just banged on the wall and given my mom a lecture in the morning.

          I can understand where this kid is coming from. I am surprised it never happened to my niece. As usual, the story never gives the full story. My sister used to do that to her daughter, heck she still does. She would bring home men, sometimes as early as 7 pm and walk right into the bedroom and have loud sex.

          Not every person is the same. Some think sex is just that, sex. Some think it should mean more than just sex. Either way, this kid is being brought up in a wrong environment, just like my niece was. That is def poor parenting. I would like to know more facts. How long has the mother been dating this man? How well does the daughter know him? Long enough to make this OK? Wonder how the father (if there even is one) would feel about this.

          Until you put yourself in this kids shoes, don't call her selfish. Been there with my niece and I know it wasn't being a brat on her part.

          Ok, now. I agree with you that a mom of teenagers "bringing home men" and having sex with them as early as 7 p.m. is poor parenting and inappropriate, however, if this woman was with her boyfreind and she wasn't "bringing home just any man to have sex with" then this 15 year old does sound like a spoiled drama queen. She is probably jealous of her mother having a boyfriend. Sex is a natural part of life, and there are plenty of 15 year olds out there doing wild things in the bedroom and who are extremely sexually active, some of them coming from "upper middle class and rich two parent" homes, not just single mother homes. I, for one, was single after my divorce for 5 years and I did date and have sex (does that make me a bad mom or a whore? No, it makes me human) However, I never brought a man into my house in front of my kids as my mom taught me "You don't s#$t where you eat." In other words, as an adult woman you can have a personal life, but your kids don't need to know all of your business. Too much information is not necessary to provide to your kids. It's none of their business!!!! Who's the adult, you or your 15 year old daughter? I agree she should have used more discretion with her daughter home, but don't judge her for being human. I'm sure her daughter knows all about sex at 15, like most of them are very experienced and savy at that age.

          Personally, I find that extremely disrespectful on the mother's part. 15 years of age is an age of understanding such a thing. An age of missing 'dad', and here comes 'mom' bringing in a boyfriend and having loud sex with him in the next bedroom.

          Sounds to me that the girl is very resentful, and justifiably so. I think the mother is moving too fast here and needs be more responsible.

          Nobody thinks or cares about the children, just their own wants and needs. Who cares how it affects the kids.

Maybe this little whiny a$$ brat insisted on going to the homeless shelter because her boyfriend is there. I am not sure how you can add to the story, nothing was told other than the lady was having loud sex with a boyfriend. Hell yeah if it feels good scream.

            Because you have idiot BEST FRIEND parents that will let their kids do stuff like screaming at them, talking back to them, and tell them to GET OUT OF MY ROOM. I wish a kid of mine would even dream of talking to me like that or act like I'm one of their little friends. The day they pay their own rent at their own place is the day they will have their own room. Until then every room in the house belongs to me and after one knock, I'm comming in and that door better not be locked. There are no theives in the family so there is no need for a door to be locked in my house unless it leads outside.

            My kids do have their privacy. But like I said, there are no locked doors in our house. They have all the privacy they want because it is not like I knock on their door every 5 minutes. BUT..........When I do need to talk to them or need them for something, I knock one time, call their name, and they know the door is comming open.

            In our house there are only 2 adults. We have fun, we clown with each other, and do the things families do. They also know there is a line between being the KID and the ADULTS and that extends to Uncles, Aunts, etc., that come over to our house for visits. If the CHILDREN got a problem with those simple rules, tough for them. Life is tough so they will have to get over it real fast and no attitude better be shown towards the ADULTS in the house.

            People can have the politically correct way of raising kids. That is not for us.

            K. Lilly-

            You sound like a crazy bitch. Nothing worse than a mom who overreacts to everything. I feel terrible for your kids. I'm sure they tell all your friends how strict and unreasonable you are. Thank god my parents understood basic levels of personal privacy. When they lock doors it's not because they're doing something wrong, it's because they want to be left alone and not bothered by annoying mothers.

            It hasn't led your children to be "extra polite and well behaved", it's only made them better liars and hiders.

            My suspicion is that there's more to the story. If I'm a fifteen-year-old girl, do I really want to be listening to my Mom--whom I'm expected to love and respect--do that, particularly if I don't know or trust or like the guy? Mom might call this guy her boyfriend, but that doesn't mean there's any relationship or trust or love lost between him and the daughter. Daughter is just expected to put up with whatever, and in all likelihood nobody's asking her about things that affect her deeply. And not all kids are brought up without religion; she might well have been taught and believe that extramarital sex is a serious offense against God. Others believe that sex without real commitment (anything short of a ring and a date or marriage) is disrespectful to oneself and risky and self-destructive behavior. How, then, is she supposed to feel about what her mother's doing? Don't tell her to get over that; she's fifteen, she shouldn't be to that point yet, and at least that attitude might keep her from teenage pregnancy and making a lot of poor decisions herself. Maybe she still hasn't processed why her dad isn't in her life and isn't ready for her mom to move on. For all we know, her dad and mom are married and her mom's having an affair. Calling the cops may have been a little extreme, but this incident may only have been the last straw on top of a lot of other issues. So cut the girl a little slack.

            ^^ I think you're over analyzing the situation greatly. The girl was probably just grossed out at what she heard and for some reason thought she could make a statement by calling the police.

            Possibly. But I'd wager at least one or two of the possible factors I mentioned probably played a role. At least, lets not jump to conclusions about how "snotty" or "bratty" or "ungrateful" this girl is.

            Oh jeeze K. Lilly c'mon..It's okay to steer kids like that on the right track for their younger years, but when they become young adults, (ending of junior high or beginning of highschool) you HAVE to learn to give them more privacy. If you don't, I promise you that your relationship with your kids will only get worse. And if you aim for them to move out by age 17, then keep doing what you're doing. I'm 19 now, witnessed my own sister when i was 9, move out at 17 for exactly that reason. My father could not trust her, gave her no respect, and it eventually became a mutual hate relationship. To this day they still don't fully respect eachother and she is now 26.

            As I grew up my father began to do the same to me, but being the only man besides himself in the house, and the last child, I was mature enough to know when I was right and he was wrong and I let him know that. The day finally did come when he realized that it's time to let me grow up and make my own decisions. The relationship between me and my father has only grown since then! Lilly, you too sometimes have to let your kids make mistakes, otherwise they will NEVER know what its like to learn from their mistakes! I've made many, and learned from every single one. And I personally believe that I'm on the right track in life. Heading to Airforce Basic in a short few months and leaving my technician job that I've held for 3 and a half years now. Trust your kids to make the right decisions and please, let them live their life a little. with PRIVACY.

            Lilly, I don't disagree with anything you've said about the need for clearly defined lines between children and adults, nor with the need for children to respect ALL adults, even if they aren't family members. When I was young, I wasn't even allowed to call my freinds' parents by their first names as a sign of respect.

            But...teenagers are uncomfortable with their own bodies. They are changing in ways that embarass them, because they can't stop it and can't control it. Hair growing out of places where there previously was no hair. Body odor. Voice changes. Sexual urges that weren't there just a few short years ago. Not to mention having to shower in front of their peers, probably for the first time in their short lives.

            They don't need the additional trauma of their parents walking in on them during a "private" moment.

            Respect goes both ways. They are not pets or objects to be owned. Giving a little, and I repeat, a little privacy to a teenager, especially in today's world isn't necessarliy a bad thing.

            If you want to run your household like a despot, that's your right, but try to be a benevolent despot, 'cuz the harder you try to clamp down on them, the wilder they get.

            As for that girl, she sounds like a complete brat and disrespectful to her mother to call the cops and waste police time on something like that. Ridiculous.

            I have a mom like Lilly, and being that overbearing and not allowing privacy hurt my sister and me going up. Kids do need some privacy and to be trusted. I'm not saying to let your kids run around town until the late hours of the night, but just loosen the leash a little. They're growing up, they should be treated as such.

            I've also been in the same sort of situation as the girl in the article. Heard my mom and her boyfriend having sex in the next room. I certainly would not have called the cops, but I understand why she may have done so. Cergysoeur has made those points. It's really unsettling when you're 15, especially if you're a virgin, and hear your mom give out the those kinds of sounds when you're trying to sleep. Overexaggeration? Most likely. Completely and absolutely bratty, spoiled, etc. Definitely not.

            I'm 25 years old and I could not be more grateful to my mother for keeping us kids in line. She was a mother of four and for a long while a single mother. She taught us respect, no by yelling or beating us but by being a mother and not our 'friend'. For the most part she stayed out of our rooms and gave us privacy, but we all knew that she had full right to go in and take a look around. Kids now are spoiled rotten brats, it disgusts me to no end, though the parents of said horrid children are even more disgusting. Grow a back bone and produce productive members of society not whiny self entitled butt holes.

            p.s. and just so you 'friend' parents know, every one of my friends that grew up with you type of parenting have bad relationships with their folks now. My mother and I are great friends now, and we have a relationship built on trust and respect. Thank you Lilly for raising your kids right.

We were taught the parents were the authority and we had no entitlement to anything other than food, shelter and security taht they provided us. Children don't LOCK doors in a house that mom & dad PAY for! Yes parents respect the childs right to CLOSE the door, and parents knock, announce, then enter. And YES, it is the parents JOB to check computers, emails and phones. Parents need to go back to parenting children, instead of catering to spoiled brats !

As far as I read, there was nothing to indicate that the mother has an endless "rotation of males". Where in the article does it say she "booted the biological dad out"? It could be that he walked out on his own. Ever think of that?

            Could be that biological fathers are booted out because maybe they weren't a good father or husband. Believe it or not not all women are evil sluts that run from man to man. It seems that less men act like true men lately than ever before; let women work and take care of them. Don't ciriticize; do you really think moms want to raise their kids on thier own??? REALLY. As far as keeping track of your kids I agreee. There's a fine line and they definately need privacy. But I've seen a lot more self centered kids more and more. Parents should raise their kids not be their best friend. Treating them like anything other than your child is going to confuse them and in the long run you will not earn their respect.

            To Jordan-335053

            You say that you are 19 years old. In what part of my statement did I say I disrespect my kids. We have simple rules in our house and like I said, If the CHILDREN can't deal with these SIMPLE rules, then god help them when they get out the house and have to deal with LIFES RULES on their own. If a 19 year old in our house feels like they can make it better on their own, then they have our blessing. There is no way in hell that we will let KIDS run our house based on whinney politically correct BS. That is what is wrong with most youngsters today. They think they know everything.

            Look at what happenes to a lot of people with that attitude. They leave because they think they ready, go out, get into trouble and the first people they call is Mommy and Daddy. If these KIDS are so grown, why call home crying. You made the decision to leave because HOME was so horrible. You better make the right decisions to correct mistakes when they happen like an ADULT. The world don't care anything about your feelings or situations. It is a cold place and if following a few simple rules and respecting your parent wishes in their house that you didn't pay a dime on but live free in, you are in for a very rude and cold awakening when life has "the point of a knife" at your throat.

            Did you even try to comprehend what I was saying? Again, at 19 years old, you are old enough to get your own place and have all the OPEN rules that you want. When I was 19 years old in college back in 1983, I had my own apartment, a job, and a peice of a car that my parents gave me. The last time I lived at my parents home was 2 weeks after I graduated from highschool in May of 1982. I didn't leave home because I was tired of living under my parents rules, I left because I was ready to try something new. I went str8 into college that summer to get a jump on things. By the time the Fall semester ended, I had a job and a apartment of my own that I shared with my roomie. When I went back home for visits or whatever, it was the same rules. Yes Sir to my dad and Yes Ma'am to Mom and they would help all 5 of us kids any way they could. There was never a problem in our house with that.

            People like MOHAMED AMIN are just bratts. Brats when they were kids and brats now. You can tell by the way that airheaded fool post. You can just imagine how annoying and worthless a person like MOHAMED AMIN is in person. lol

            I could never lock my door... but it was understood if I said "give me a sec"... my mom would give me a sec and my step-dad always asked if I was decent when he knocked. I had no real privacy and it truly never bothered me... I knew I was lucky to have kind parents and a roof over my head and food to eat. My mom always knew where I was and when and she really did call the other parent to check on me and as embarassing as it was at the time.... EVERY SINGLE ONE of those other parents was impressed with her checking on me and a lot started doing the same.... This was before cell phones and laptops... lol I wasn't to be trusted.. I was a teenager for goodness sakes... and we all know teenagers can't be trusted...it's the nature of the beast... it's their time to test limits and boundaries and find themselves... a loving guiding hand is helpful and appropriate.... and K Lilly.... you keep being a good loving dad and your children will love and respect you for it!

            " They leave because they think they ready, go out, get into trouble and the first people they call is Mommy and Daddy. If these KIDS are so grown, why call home crying. You made the decision to leave because HOME was so horrible. You better make the right decisions to correct mistakes when they happen like an ADULT. "

            You don't sound like a very supportive mother to me. You sound like the type that, if you kid screws up you automatically give up on him and throw him out of your life completely. Like I said, kids have to make mistakes in order to learn from them sometimes. And if you don't let them make some of those mistakes early on in life, then when they make them when they're older the consequences could be much worse. Sounds like you need to have a little more faith and trust in your children..My dad has trusted me to come home every single night for the past 2 years without calling me or "grounding" me. It took a long time to build that trust, but now he does trust me and I respect him highly for that. He'll never regret that decision. Those are some of the decisions you'll have to make, otherwise your children are going to walk out on you and say goodbye for a long time.

They figure it is better to make a mistake by checking things out and finding out that it is BS than making a mistake that leaves someone in real trouble.

                However, it was never about sex or the sounds of love making. Tthat's what the boyfriend's house/apartment or even a hotel room is for.

                I have 4 kids ranging in age from 20 to 4 months. I have 2 step sons who are 28 and 24. They're all boys except for the baby. These boys have little interest in their own privacy, not sure what I'm in for with this girl but I have a LOT of time to figure it out! As for the whole sex thing, it's all about balance. Having my kids around - ie, in the house and conscious, creeps me out. I like to make sure they're sleeping (and they're all very sound sleepers) or outside with friends (except the baby, obviously). But as a frame of reference regarding my parenting style, I had my mother ask my 6 year old if I'm a mean mom, and his response was "I'll take a yes on that!" I really have little interest in being friends with my kids, I'd rather be their parent which means making tough decisions from time to time! Everything Lilly has written so far has sat just fine with me. I'm willing to bet her kids are the kinds of kids I'd like my kids to be friends with...!

                Northern Red--I hereby add you to klilly and mommynurse on my list of the type of parents we need a hell of a lot more of. We'd have fewer entitled, spoiled little s***s to deal with, and a lot less of them growing up to be dysfunctional adults. Sex is part of life, and as uncomfortable as it may be to imagine--or hear--your parent(s) as sexual being(s), it's hardly worth the hissy fit this little brat indulged in. And I'd rather have my kids introduced to sex this way than have them learn it from a porn site or off bathroom walls or drunken drug-addled groping at a teen party. And nowhere in the article did it say the mom and boyfriend were overtly loud. The daughter could have been deliberately eavesdropping.

                Truely it must be nice for us Americans to spout about how kids shouldn't hear it. Or how someone is damaged because he / she heard their parents. Yet in countries where homes have one or two rooms plenty of kids have heard their parents having sex and don't seem to be damaged by it. Toughen up! Softer than a boiled potatoes we've become.

                Klilly and Northern Red!! Thank you for parenting, I appreciate those kind of values and morals!! We are getting ready to start a family (my husband and I) and you better believe I will be the same way, we are not meant to be friends with our kids. We are the leaders of the family, setting an example. My mother and father split when I was young and my mom dated, but she was very discreet with relations. I never heard her doing anything, but if I had I wouldn't have lash out at her boyfriend either cause she was the one in charge as my Mom not my friend.

                I'll tell you it's hard raising kids to respect you when there are so many kids or adults for that matter that show no respct for anyone. Do your best to keep them on a good path. Show them and tell them that you love them everyday. I have 2 boys; one of them a 15 year old son. He would never call the cops on me because he has more respect than that. That said; sex is very natural and should not be looked at as a taboo. When 2 people love each other that is what they do. If at all possible my kids do not hear when I have sex. But not all people are lucky enough to have their rooms on a different level than their teenagers.

                  My AVATAR is wrong. I'm the DAD........ Not the MOM. Its ok though because if the MOM was writing these post, they would be the same thing that I wrote. Looking at a lot of these post explains why there are so many kids out there that are in their 20's, YOUNG ADULTS, but still act like 12 year old brats. No comprehension or life skills at all. Then when life hit them directly in the face with harsh reality, they can't handle it............. Especially today.

                  Look at the news. All these kids that knew everything, moved out into this cold world and the first thing they are doing is moving back home with WHO?...................... MOM AND DAD. lol

                  After Making Love We Hear Footsteps

                  For I can snore like a bullhorn
                  or play loud music
                  or sit up talking with any reasonably sober Irishman
                  and Fergus will only sink deeper
                  into his dreamless sleep, which goes by all in one flash,
                  but let there be that heavy breathing
                  or a stifled come-cry anywhere in the house
                  and he will wrench himself awake
                  and make for it on the run - as now, we lie together,
                  after making love, quiet, touching along the length of our bodies,
                  familiar touch of the long-married,
                  and he appears - in his baseball pajamas, it happens,
                  the neck opening so small
                  he has to screw them on, which one day may make him wonder
                  about the mental capacity of baseball players -
                  and flops down between us and hugs us and snuggles himself to sleep,
                  his face gleaming with satisfaction at being this very child.

                  In the half darkness we look at each other
                  and smile
                  and touch arms across his little, startling muscled body -
                  this one whom habit of memory propels to the ground of his making,
                  sleeper only the mortal sounds can sing awake,
                  this blessing love gives again into our arms.

                  This lovely poem underscores the difference between the life of a child raised by two parents in a longterm, loving marriage...two parents who are committed both to each other and to their child...

                  and this sad situation in which there is apparently only one parent, whose concern about the feelings and well-being of her child, if it exists at all, is forgotten in favor of a night of passion with some stud she is not married to.

                  Agdoc, since you bring this up so nicely, I will tell you why. One needs just a little bit of reading between the lines.

                  1) there seems to be no Dad in the picture. How do I know this? When teenager felt a wish or a need to get out of Mom's house, the only place she could think of to go is a shelter. The only people she felt she could turn to for help were the police.

                  2) She doesn't feel there is any way to be heard or have influence directly with Mom--or that Mom considers or cares about her feelings. Calling 911 and asking to be put in a shelter is an extreme resort, not taken by the majority of kids even though most at one time or another have a beef against a parent.

                  3) Mom is having sex with "a boyfriend". Not a husband.

                  4) Mom knows her bedroom shares a wall with her daughter's, yet lets go and is loud enough for daughter to hear her having sex. Is this really necessary? Is it really so important to scream out your excitement, when your child is on the other side of the wall? Is she so lacking in self restraint, or so eager to make a good impression on the boyfriend that the daughter's feelings be damned?

                  5) Or is Mom under the influence of something chemical?

                  6) Daughter is feeling enough distraught that she wants out of the home. Do you think little Fergus from the poem, when he's 15, will call strangers asking to be taken out of his home?

The father's that's who... and almost all 15 year olds hate their parents and want to move out at some point! She didn't ask to be put in a shelter, the police offered and she refused....

                  Thank you Livia. Amazing, just absolutely amazing how the comments on here support a mother loud-sexing some completely different guy other than 'dad', out of complete disrespect for the feelings of her teenage daughter.

                  The poor obviously resentful and traumatized teenager, no doubt, is missing her father. Who, is probably divorced from the beginning due to mom's promiscuous nature.

                  A police call is a police call however, and it CAN be used in a custody case, should the daughter and dad want to be together. Then mom can bring home all the men she likes.

                    Texas--I think you forget what it was like to be a teenager. She was upset by it. Granted, the girl should not have called the police, but I am not surprised she was upset about hearing that. The mother should have been much more cautious.

I guess when she is at her first job interview and feels uncomfortable by a question she has to answer...then she'll be dialing 911. What a spoiled, little, entitled, self righteous brat!!! But then again...what do you expect from today's kids in this society.

It never mentioned anything in regards to any previous relationships only of her current boyfriend whom she was with. Ever think that the father could be absent due to his own doing? Way to blame the mom based on nothing

                      @ Vincent Denali : You are ready to start your own novel. You have lots of imagination ! I just reread the story, because I wasn't sure that I had read the same thing as you.

                      1. It does not say that the father has been booted out of the house. Maybe she is a widow, maybe there never was a father in the picture, maybe the father took off on his own.

                      2. How do you know she goes through a rotation of men ? The story says the "boyfriend", not "boyfriendSSS". Do you know how long the mother has had that boyfriend ? Because I sure don't know after reading the story.

                      And because she has a 15 year old in the house, the mother should stop having sex to prevent the little brat to be "disrepected" ??? Since when having sex is disrespect ? Especially to a teenager, who wouldn't be there in the first place if the mother hadn't had sex with anyone in her lifetime.

                      You sir are a poor example of a human being, being so judgemental, and vulgar in your comment.

                      Vincent Denali the newest trend in middle-class marriages is for the husband to hook up with a working associate and leave his wife high and dry to deal with the kids while he's off having a grand ole time with the home wrecking cum dumpster.

                      Cum dumpster than calls cps to report her boyfriends "crazy stalking ex" for being a horrible uninvolved parent because she's working two jobs because her cheating loser of an ex-husband refuses to pay child support- gotta pay for cum dumpsters new set of boobs, ya know.

                      So the hate on woman is really unneeded-unwanted and way off base; men have been cheating and destroying the lives of their wives and children for generations just to get a "little something wet on the side" to stroke their ego's among other things.

And I don't care what age of people you live with, waking them up with your coital vocalizations is rude and disrespectful. This "mother" was behaving like a horny teenager and this girl has a good head on her shoulders. Here's hoping that "Mom" doesn't change that in the next 3 years.
                        I wonder if "Mom" is a "dancer" too.

                          I kept reading and reading hoping I'd find a comment from a responsible parent. Thank you, Capnmagpi! I'm 40 and I don't want my kids to hear me having sex with my husband! (and yes, I understand that this woman was having sex with a boyfriend, not a husband) This is just another thing wrong with American families and society. There's nothing wrong with sex! Just have a little more respect especially around kids! Set a better example! And if you really have to do it and you know you're gonna get loud, get a hotel room for goodness sakes!! Just sayin'...

                          I'm glad I'm not the only one here that thinks this way. The mother should have a bit more class than making enough racket to upset her daughter.

                          Oh my goddness! I guess you old gals have forgotten what good sex and an orgasm feels like. Maybe "mom" didn't realize that she got caught up in the moment and was loud. It's not disrespectful to enjoy yourself sexually. I challenge those of you who are talking about "class" and "respect" to get some real d*#& and see how quite you'll be!

                          Hearing the parents having sex rates right up there with walking in on them in the bathroom. It happens, even to hypocritical tight-wads like you. the logic that allows you to say the mother having a boyfriend makes her a stripper escapes me...

                            The thing is Mom has now given daughter permission to have sex with every guy she meets. If Mom can have sex with boyfriends, why can't I? If Mom's having sex with hubby then you have an answer for that.

                            Easiest way for daughter to have dealt with the situation would have been for her to bang on the wall and tell her mom to keep the noise down. I had to do that to my mom when I was in high school.

                            We don't know how many 'friends' this mom has had over and how many times this youngster has been awakened. Might've been the straw that broke the camel's back! At least now it's on record that this girl is in a bad situation. Wonder how long this has been going on and wonder how many of these friends have visited the child's room? Sure, she might just be a 'brat' but why assume that? I would want to know (ta da...) "the rest of the story!"

                            Kathryne--

                            Why does this mean she is in "a bad situation"? Because she heard her Mom having sex? Good grief! The mother even said she was trying to be quiet. It may have been the first time the mom has EVER had a boyfriend over. She could be very serious about this man and her daughter could be jealous. There are a million things that could be in play in this house, but the fact the mom had a boyfriend over doesn't automatically make her "easy" or a "dancer" or anything like that, just like fact the daughter called the police doesn't make her a "brat". More like an overly dramatic teenager, and what teenager isn't? That girl will be even more embarrassed when she goes to school and all her friends know about it!

                            I really doubt there is, as you say, "the rest of the story!" Things like this happen and that doesn't automatically make the mom some kind of monster.

                            @Kathryne - you sound about as ignorant as the teenage girl who called the cops. What bad situation??? Because a mother is having sex with her teenage daughter in the house she is in a bad situation?? Not to mention the fact that I can pretty much guarantee that if the daughter is such a b***h to call the cops on her own mother, there is a damn good chance that she has already been hoeing in the streets herself. It is people like you who have given these children the feeling of entitlement that have screwed up the world. What right does a fifteen year old have to say about anything that happens at that house. Does she pay rent? Probably not. Therefore, as far as I am concerned she has no say in anything.

                            Mom is asking for trouble bringing "boyfriends" to spend the night in a home with a teenage girl. Someday one might go looking for a little action on the side. Two adults can certainly afford a motel room, or go to the guy's house, unless of course he still lives with his mom (or wife).

                            My question is, why couldn't they have done it at his place? Then this would never have been an issue. It was stupid calling the cops but think about it: If you could hear your parent(s) doing it, I'm sure you would be uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable hearing your parents' sex noises does not make you spoiled or entitled. Calling the cops over it does. Hate the action, not the reasoning behind it.

                            So it's better to go to a hotel, and leave the kid alone in the house at night? In order to protect the girl from the idea of her mom as a sexual being, or because any man who would want to date a woman with a teenage girl must automatically be a perverted child molester? I'm sorry, I just think that's silly.

                            Bringing a stranger into your child's life is a risk. A lot of women don't exercise very good judgment about men and/or aren't particularly good judges of character. While it's ridiculous to make assumptions, you can't be too careful. And it doesn't sound like this girl is likely to be out causing trouble if left on her own for a night. This woman's primary responsibility right now is to look after her child...not to soothe her own loneliness. Once her daughter is 18 and can move out or do whatever she likes, fine. But until then, a little discretion and care might set a better example and smooth things over with her daughter.

                            Really, should the woman assume that every man she dates is going to sexually assault her daughter??? Where does that come into this story? Does that mean that every single mother out there should just stay single forever because every boyfriend she will ever have might be some type of child molester?? Oh and god forbid mom have a sex life. I highly doubt she was flaunting it in her child's face. Must make her some type of evil person to have sex outside of marriage. ohhhhhh noooooo. she must be some type of depraved sick person. give me a break. You people are awful judgemental fools to make those type of disgusting comments that have NOTHING to do with what happened. I think the people who can come up with those sick "what ifs" are sick minded themselves.

                            The risk isn't just the risk of assault, though too many women can testify that it is a real risk. (The odds of something horrible happening are much greater in situations like this exactly because women who bring boyfriends home are more likely not to have or at least to exercise good judgment in respect to guys and guys who will go home with a custodial mother like this obviously aren't too concerned about what the kids are thinking and so are more likely to disregard kids' interests, or perhaps other norms.)

                            There are risks to the parent-child relationship when you have a boyfriend stay in when you have a child, as is apparently demonstrated in this situation. There are risks that the child will look at your example and say, "The heck with that!" and either distance themselves or follow your example and seek affection and connection--maybe even the kind of lovin' you were demonstrating--at the wrong time or with the wrong person. That's probably the greater risk. But it can be just as destructive in its own way.

                            SwagginLeigh- 15 is definitely old enough to spend a little time alone. It's old enough to babysit other people's children. Old enough to get a job in most states. If momma wants to play at home, ask one of her daughters' friend's parents if her daughter can spend the night there.

When I was 15-16 is when she met my now step father. Even then I could not have been happier for her, parents are people and by age 15 you should freaking know that. That spoiled little booger just wanted attention. And yes, for god's sake parents have sex! Duh! That's how we all got here! If you all would stop being prudes and have a nice romp under the sheets now and then maybe you could understand.

                            You were relieved your father left, and for good reason. But there's no indication that the situation for the girl in this case was anywhere close to that simple. You were so happy that the tension was gone that maybe you aren't considering that it might be different for this girl. Perhaps this boyfriend was a source of tension between this girl and her mom, and maybe for good reason. Maybe she had good reason not to like the way he treated her mom, or he stole from her, or such. Maybe he's essentially a stranger and it creeps her out that her Mom is having sex with someone who's for all intents and purposes a stranger to her and maybe hardly known to her mom. She's 15, stuck in a situation she doesn't get much say in; cut her some slack if she overreacted. There was almost undoubtedly a lot more history behind this incident than will ever find its way into the press. But I have a lot more sympathy for the child than the mother whose conduct has put her child in such an awkward position.

                            Jessi--well put and to the point. Cergy--that's a heck of a lot of "maybe" and "perhaps" you're working into this. Basically, you have no idea what you're talking about, want to make a personal point at the expense of a single parent (and her companion), and choose to imagine the worst. The only intelligent statement you made is that there is "...a lot more history behind this...than will ever find its way into the press." But that doesn't mean if we DID know more that it would reflect badly on the mother. Quit judging others unless you're perfect yourself.

                                I had to do the same thing to my mom in high school 25 years ago. Nighttime was very disturbing for me. I turned my music up, I banged on the door, nothing helped and I wasn't even next door to her room. I totally understand where this girl is coming from. I didn't call the cops on my mom but maybe if I were desperate enough I might have (if we would have had a phone). Thankfully my mom ended up marrying her boyfriend but at the time I thought it was very disrespectful. We were old enough that they could go to a hotel or figure something else out.

                                  Or, Cergysoeur, MAYBE the girl was mad because mom took her cellphone away because her grades were bad, and MAYBE she was just resentful enough to think she could MAYBE get her mom in trouble? Maybe dad is deceased. Maybe the boyfriend is long term and monogamous. Maybe the mom just took her kid to task for (insert infraction here) and kid felt (insert teenage angst here).

                                  There's clearly not enough information in the article to know what was going on with the interpersonal relationships between daughter, mother and boyfriend.

                                      Vincent Denali, you are a pathetic excuse for a man, and your bitterness shows it.

                                      I find myself in the same position as the boyfriend in the story, and I assure you, my girlfriend is not a slut. I can also assure you that her daughter considers me more of a father than her biological father, and if she had to hear her mother having sex, she would want it to be with me. Why? Because I she knows I love her mother. Also, I am there to kill a spider for her, congratulate her when she does well, and do my best to act as a good father should. If her biological father put in half that effort, he might still have a place in her life.

                                      We do our best to keep our sex life private, but accidents happen, especially in close living quarters. This story does not contain enough information for you to assume anything about the moral character of the mother or the situation that separated her from the daughter's father. I have the privelege of being in the relationship I am in now because my girlfiend's ex couldn't keep it in his pants when they were married.

                                      Way to show what an ass-hat you are, and thanks for using your real name. Maybe some other woman can avoid the mistake your ex made.

                                      I'll bet that this disrespectful little 15-year-old brat will now do something stupid and vengeful just to spite her mom. Most likely, she will sneak some boy into her bedroom when she knows her mom is home and awake and start making some noise of her own (exaggerated as only a snotty 15-year-old can do, of course). Probably make sure the boy is someone her mom is guaranteed to hate. Maybe even get pregnant. That'll show her!

                                      So mad gramma, you NEVER had sex in the house with your children home?! That's soooo depressing!

                                      Realistic woman,

                                      I was married 57 yrs. & had 6 children. None of them ever walked in or heard anything. Our room was away from the kids room & door locked. You are the one who has no respect or class.

                                      Well it was fortunate that your room happend to be far away from the childrens but what if it wasn't? You just never have sex because your children are home? Even when they are supposed to be sleeping? I would never WANT my kid to hear me with my husband but I am NOT a slut because I have sex with him in my home. Boyfriend/commited boyfriend/live in boyfriend/fiance/husband. Boyfriend is USUALLY how a relationship starts right?

                                      It sounds to me like major breakdown in the relationship between that mother and daughter. Lots of unanswered questions here:

                                      1) Mom is only 20 years older than daughter...was she ever married to Dad? Is Dad in the picture? Or is there even anyone the kid calls 'Dad'?

                                      2) Is Mom just bringing home a series of guys she has sex with?

                                      3) Is it more important to Mom to 'express her appreciation' for her lover verbally than it is to be concerned about what her daughter in the next-door bedroom hears? If this is the case, that daughter is not her #1 priority.

                                      Altogether very sad for that teenage girl. And it doesn't hold out much hope that she will have enough grounding, values, and self-respect to conduct her own life any better than her mother is doing.

                                      There's a reason past generations believed in marriage before sex, and especially, before having children. That system wasn't without its own problems. But giving it up is taking a toll, especially on our children.

                                      @madgramma, unless you had seperate housing, a pool house, a guest house, or something further away, WE HEARD YOU. Don't kid yourself. There are definitely issues in the house with the 15 year old and her mother at 35, those issues we can speculate on. RESPECT both ways is probably the most corrupted issue they have. Calling 911 was the action of brash thinking daughter, who could probably use some help with her personal self-value from a mentor, counselor, or a big sister/brother.

You just choose to imagine the worst. madgramma--so you had 6 kids and none of them ever heard anything? Ahem--how do you know? And what if they had, even if by accident? Would that make YOU a slut? And so what if mom was 20 when she gave birth? How many couples get married in their teens? Not the best idea, I agree, but hardly makes them despicable people. Lots of judgmental people commenting here.

                                      I agree with you that sometimes it can happen that a child overhears a parent having sex, even though this is a good and devoted parent overall and child and parent have a close and trusting relationship.

                                      In these cases, does the child call 911 and ask to be taken to a shelter?

                                      Given that this story made national news: apparently not.

                                      Mad Gramma was married to the guy she was having sex with. That makes all the difference in the world.

                                                Why put on such a show that you feel that everybody needs to hear it and that you don't seem to care if they do ? People are such selfish, inconsiderate people anymore. What's with the idea that you're gonna do what you want to do and you just don't give a damn ? You don't remember there are kids around ? You just cannot wait till bedtime when everybody is asleep, close the frickin doors and keep it down for crap sake ? No, you'd rather act like an ass and show off. Have some consideration for those you force to listen to your crap.

                                                Showing off? I guess she still should have been a bit more quiet if there was a chance the daughter could wake up, but I doubt she was showing off.

                                                You make it sound like she was faking it...

                                                Who was putting on a show? No one was watching. It WAS the middle of the night, the door WAS closed, it WAS in the mom's own bedroom, the girl WAS in her own bedroom, she WAS asleep (kinda hard to be awakened if you're already awake), and it's HER HOUSE, not the kid's!!! Your comment has more holes than Swiss cheese, Deb.

                                                Although I don't know for sure, I'd be willing to bet that the girl in this story was horrified by the idea of her mom having sex with ANYONE and blew whatever little noise she heard WAY out of proportion.

We all have been caught or heard by our children...

                                                  The BIG difference is you were with your husband, not a boyfriend that shows up. He lived there. I'm not knocking you by any means. If anything, you need to be applauded for being with your husband and raising your kids instead of a broken home.

                                                    Not all single parent homes are 'broken'. Ours works perfectly fine thank you very much. I suppose you would rather I stayed with my EX for the sake of raising our children as MARRIED parents .... except for that whole thing where he put a rifle in my face and threatened to blow my head off in FULL VIEW of our children, then after I took the rifle away he tried to strangle me instead ... again, in full view of our children. So tell me ... which environment was more 'broken'? The one where I stay married to him and give him ANOTHER chance to kill me? or the one where I leave him and raise the four children as a single parent?

                                                    NEVER ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW WHY SHE IS A SINGLE MOTHER ... chances are ... you would be wrong.

                                                    EXACTLY! I shared a wall with my parents growing up and even though they weren't trying to be heard, sometimes I too had to break out the headphones. That being said, I'd much rather have overheard them loving on one another than screaming and fighting all the time which is what's heard in a lot of households. Never once doubted they loved one another.

                                                    I once saw a movie called Blackrobe about an English priest who came to North America in the 1600's to convert American Indians to Christianity. Well, there's a scene where the priest is walking around an Indian village and he comes across an Indian couple making passionate love on the grass right in front of everyone and he freaks out.

                                                    An Indian sees his reaction and comments to another Indian, "Is the Blackrobe a demon? He must be. Blackrobes never have sex with women.
                                                    It's a promise they make to their God. Why make a promise like that? Strange, isn't it?"

                                                    The same goes on in a lot of parts of the world where people don't have the luxury to have a house big enough to secure some privacy so, naturally, it comes to a point where they couldn't care less and just got to have it! And no one freaks out, they're all used to it. It's part of life.

In this case, you can be sure that the father left the house due to low paternal certainty. These children are calling the wrong man "Dad."

                                                    @ Vincent Dinali : Until you have proof of all you advance in all your posts and you can share it with the rest of us, about the father being booted off the house, the mother being a slut or about being subjected to a real-life porno, I suggest that you SHUT UP. You don't know anything more about the situation than what you have read. You have a very active imagination that could be putting to a better use instead of spewing venom all over the place.
