The woman’s daughter had a disagreement with another girl, so the woman posts a sexually suggestive ad to Craigslist with the girl’s telephone number. And what’s worst she’s a social worker. She’s had to have dealt with abused children while working for the state. How could she have set this girl up for abuse?

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.

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.

And what does this tell her daughter about handling conflicts? That you enact revenge?
