Mom helped pimp out special-needs daughter for sex

Cheryl Tchida left the teen, who has dwarfism and an IQ of 45 and is now pregnant, at different locations over a 6-week period. She was sentenced to 6 months in a workhouse for her deed.

A sick Minnesota mom who pimped out her special-needs daughter for sex has been sentenced to six months in a county workhouse.

Cheryl Tchida, 51, dumped her 19-year-old daughter — who has dwarfism, the mental age of a 5-year-old and an IQ of just 45 — at various locations over a six week period.

The teen — who can't tell time, read, or care for herself — was raped by several men and even ended up getting pregnant.

A judge heard Tchida first dropped her daughter off at a Roseville motel on July 3, 2012, so she could "hang out" with a 17-year-old pal she'd met days earlier.

Once inside, the man — who'd brought along his uncle and four others — set up an online dating account on LiveLinks to advertise her as a hooker charging $200 per act.

They then proceeded, against the teen's will, to gang-rape her.

She tried to get her mom to pick her up, but her phone calls were ignored.

The following day, one of the men then drove her to his apartment and repeatedly raped her for several days.

He eventually let her leave.

I cared for several such cases. It's more usual for Daddy to pimp them off, that's the only difference here.

6. Anyone "weak," anyone vulnerable, is bound to be somebody's victim in this world.

Rates of abuse, sexual and otherwise, are astronomical among the mentally disabled.

And how the hell did the mom get off with only 6 months? Has anyone else been charged?

Can a person with a 45 IQ testify competently at a trial? Her disability is so severe that she can't tell time. Not sure about what the law is, or whether the victim would even remember it accurately.

All the stuff we used to believe about our rights and what is just is all messed up. And if the govt was tracking me they know I was going to type "all the crap we used to believe".

6 months is horrible. She did terrible damage to that girl's life. Imagine the conditions she grew up under.

"They then proceeded, against the teen's will, to gang-rape her. "

As if someone can be gang-raped any other way.
