A Long Island, New York, social worker is facing two misdemeanor charges after allegedly posting a sexually suggestive ad on Craigslist that gave interested parties the home phone number of a 9-year-old girl.
The sexually suggestive ad allowed parties to get a number for a 9-year-old girl.
According to prosecutors, Margery Tannenbaum posted the ad to get revenge after an argument between her daughter and the girl, who attend the same school in Hauppauge, New York.

Interested parties were directed to an e-mail address where they were given the girl's name and home phone number. Callers were unaware they were trying to reach a 9-year-old.
According to Suffolk County authorities, the mother of the girl intercepted calls before her daughter answered. She said she received 22 calls in one day, in all around 40 calls from various men who saw the ad, including some seeking an escort service. After Craigslist was issued a subpoena, authorities said they were able to track the account to Tannenbaum.

"She's never been in any trouble for anything before," Scharfenberg said. "She's just really upset by the whole thing. Her biggest concern has always been that this not materially affect the victim or her child.
She wants to make sure the way it's being handled doesn't make that worse."
In an interview with News 12, the victim's mother said she was "horrified."
"It's scary to think that someone would take any issue and attack your child."

First of all, a Social Worker did this? And she expresses concern over the way this might be handled - for the child? Meanwhile, this is how she chose to 'deal with' an argument between her daughter and another 9 year old?
I'm so shocked by this woman's actions. She all but marketed out an innocent baby to men for sex.
I don't have too many words about this one, but I hope they throw the book at this woman, and I hope she is suspended from her job as a social worker.
That was just so ill-thought out, mean-spirited, dangerous and WRONG.
If the child's mother hadn't have intercepted the calls, it is entirely possible that we'd be reading about this little missing 9 y/o as a case.
What is wrong with some people?
