Boy Watches Mom Do Tricks

(Bensalem, Pennsylvania) A 36-year-old woman, Catherine Thomas, has been arrested for allegedly selling sex out of a motel room while her seven-year-old son was forced to huddle down in a filthy bathroom with three dogs. Thomas has been charged with prostitution, possession of drugs and paraphernalia and endangering a child.

Police got a tip from Thomas’ sister that led them to Mall Motel in Trevose, Pa. near the Neshaminy Mall. Police observed the operation, then were able to stop a "John" who was leaving her room. Officials then had him call Thomas to say he was sending over a friend. The "friend" was really an undercover cop.

The condition of the room and bathroom was filthy with trash and garbage everywhere and a strong odor of urine, according to police.

Thomas was booked into custody with bail set at $20,000. The little boy is now in the custody of Bucks County Family Services.
