But the 13-year-old's mother thinks it is 'sweet' rather than shocking. Tracy Holt even rewards her daughter with cigarettes on the rare occasions when she does behave.<< A friend just sent me this article ... all I can say is WOW. People like this really exist?! This is my favourite line (when asked about her daughter losing her virginity at age 12): >>Miss Holt explained away her daughter's under-age sex. 'I didn't punish her,' she said. 'It wasn't a one-night stand. She had been dating the guy for a couple of weeks.'<<
