NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A couple pleaded guilty Thursday to hiring a stripper for their son's 16th birthday party and were sentenced to two years probation.

Landon and Anette Pharris, who were charged with contributing the delinquency of a minor, also were ordered to take parenting classes. The parents hired the stripper to perform at a September party attended by about a dozen young people. Cassandra Park, 29, who police say used the stage name Sassy, danced for a few hours before partygoers took up a collection and paid her $150 US more to fully disrobe, Anette Pharris said.

The stripper and the man she was with were also granted probation.

Police were tipped off to the party by a photo developer at a drug store who saw pictures of the occasion.

Pharris said after being arrested that she tried to do something special for her son.

"We even had grandpa there," she said.

Ah I love it... It's too bad my parents didn't love me that much :P

Hehehehe.. whoops... not very smart to have pics developed at the store!! :lol: :lol:

Haven't they ever heard of a digital camera?! :blink:

It's amazing the things people will take photos of, and then have developed at their local Wal-Mart et al.

Whatsa matter, digital cameras haven't reached Tennessee yet?

(And no shoe jokes, people, please, that's too easy)

yeah well... two years probation.... they can hire him another one on his 18th birthday....

I can hear "Duelling Banjos" in the background.

Parents need to worry less about being their kid's best friend and more about being a parent and a voice of reason. This kid will end up on COPS in a high speed police chase hopped up on ICE.
