Catherine Thomas Turned Tricks In Front Of Son

**Wicked Doll** · April 20th, 2009, 11:15 PM

Bensalem Police arrested a mother for prostitution and police said some of the acts were committed with her young son in the same room.

Catherine Thomas was arraigned Monday evening and has been charged with prostitution and child endangerment.

Investigators said Thomas locked her 7-year-old son in a shower stall during some acts and he even witnessed others.

"At times, he was kept underneath a table with a kind of dog cage in front of him, a dog separator, where sometimes he would witness her engaging in her act with the Johns," Bensalem Director of Public Safety Fred Harran said.

A tip call led investigators to the Mall Motel in Bensalem where they conducted an undercover operation.

"The officers discovered the 7-year-old boy, she places him in the shower stall, which was deplorable, where he sat there playing with toys," Harran said. "In 23 years on the job here, that's probably one of the most despicable things I've seen."

Thomas reportedly lived in the hotel for the past three months.

"Garbage, dirty underwear, food, a bathroom that I'm not so sure I would let one of my dogs go in," Harran said.

As part of the investigation, detectives interviewed the young boy.

"One of the things that he had made comment to that he would have to ask God for forgiveness what he saw what his mother did," Harran said.

"Now he's in the custody with Bucks County Children Youth and hopefully they can find some good placement for him and give this kid a fighting chance because with her, he probably didn't stand a chance."

Thomas is being held on $20,000 bail.

Unbelievable. I think Fred Harran said it all. The statement by the little boy breaks my heart. God bless him.

Okay, I can't even get in the mood if I hear the baby crying in her room with the door shut...it just bugs me...how did this woman have sex with her 7 year old in the room?? That is disgusting.

Way to raise your son to respect women you selfish child abusing cow. Thank god there are people who will actually do something to help kids. I don't know who called in the tip but I'm betting that person can sleep better at night knowing that $#@@ is behind bars and her son is away from her.

Its one thing to see your mom or parents doing it and a whole nother thing to see your mom , stooping 100's and 100's of different guys. No child should have to live like he did, thats bullshit and fucked up beyond repair shit. Even cheap hookers can make 20k to 40k a month and even if you only make 3k to 4k that still plenty of money to afford a damn daycare or babysitter for fucks sake.

A 36-year-old woman was locked up for selling sex in a motel room where she lived with her 7-year-old son, according to Bensalem police.

An undercover cop busted Catherine Thomas for alleged prostitution and found her little boy huddled in a dirty bathroom, in the bathtub, with three dogs.

The boy told detectives he had an in-service day and was off from school, so he was in the motel room he shared with his mother as she performed various sex acts with men for money, police said.

Each time Thomas performed sex acts, she would have her son wait in the bathtub until she and her client were finished, according to officials.

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 is locked up on $20,000 bail, charged with prostitution, possession of drugs and paraphernalia and endangering a child.

Her son is with Bucks County Family Services. The three dogs were taken to the Women's Humane Services.

First of all good for her Sister giving the police a tip and second this mom isn't a mother and doesn't deserve to be a mother. I hope they get this 7-yr. old boy the psychological help he so needs.

That's just fucking disgusting on every possible level.

I hope this woman realizes that she may have gone a long way towards turning this kid into a future misogynist, or something far worse.

El Supremo, you read my mind.

**ineedanap** · April 21st, 2009, 12:24 PM

I might be flamed for this, but where was the kid's dad? And what about the Johns?? How do you get it up w/a 7 yo watching???!!! SICK!

Perhaps it's just a case of GMTA.

If I recall correctly, Henry Lee Lucas made similar claims about his own mother. I think the difference there is that while this kid was made to hide in a filthy bathtub during "business hours", Henry Lee was forced to watch his mom tending to her clientele.

Either way... I do not foresee a bright future for this poor kid.

**tutkill** · April 21st, 2009, 08:13 PM

I was thinking about that henry lee lucas thing too when reading this. Hope the little guy gets alot of help.

**Ninja0980** · April 21st, 2009, 09:43 PM

This little boy will need help. If nothing else, his view towards women right now probably aren't very good... and who could blame him with a whore like this as a mom?

I was just about to say, way to go mom, she's taking him down the road to serial killer kingdom. "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer." based on Henry Lee Lucas and yes, he said that he was forced to watch his mother do her sex acts in front of him. Of course that's not all that happened to him, still this mother is sick, depraved bitch to subject him to lewd and lowly shit. I'm sure he was ignored, neglected and abused in other such ways.

I hope he fairs well in the system and is placed with loving parents....he's going to need a lot of support.

I put her up front.....

An admitted prostitute who hid her 7-year-old son in the shower while she turned tricks in a Bensalem motel room pleaded guilty Monday in Bucks County Court in Doylestown.

Catherine Thomas, 36, was sentenced to time served to one year in the county prison and granted immediate parole. Judge Jeffrey Finley ordered her to complete six years of probation, undergo mental health and substance abuse evaluations, and cooperate with police investigating prostitution rings.

"Your actions are difficult to comprehend," Finley told Thomas. "It's hardly unheard of for a woman to prostitute herself for drugs or money. But to do so in a way that subjects your child to it, that takes it to a whole different level."
[...]

The child remains in foster care. Thomas, of Bensalem, served six weeks in prison after her arrest before making bail. She told the judge she worked as a prostitute to support herself and her child, and she usually scheduled her "appointments" during times her son was in school.

"I didn't want to be a welfare mother," she said.

Thomas has three prior convictions for prostitution. Since her arrest, Thomas told the judge, she's been seeing a therapist and taking a parenting class sponsored by Bucks County Children and Youth.

She told the judge she's ready to change her ways, and losing custody of her son has made an impression on her.

"My main objective is to have my son back. Nothing was worse in my life than losing him," she said.

Thomas is living with family members in Bensalem. Her sister and brother-in-law testified she is a good mother and is working toward turning around her life.

Thomas pleaded guilty to child endangerment, prostitution and drug-related offenses. Police found a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in her room when she was arrested.

The comment made by this little boy is killing me. He knows, at the tender age of 7, that what his mother was doing was wrong. Yet the sea cow that is 36 didn't care diddly about what damage she would be causing her son. She needs a broom stick jammed up her crotch. Perverted bitch.
