Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Is prostitution child endangerment?

I recently found out that my sister is

prostituting. Can my family get

temporary custody of her 7 yr old with

proof? She is being babysat by a

responsible sitter while her mother is

gone. How can we get custody?

Re: Is prostitution child endangerment?

Unless she is entertaining her clients in the home or apartment where the child is, the situation is not likely child endangerment. The test for getting custody is what is in the best interest of the child. As long as the mother is providing for the child to the best of her ability, prostitution by itself is not sufficient to change custody. Many prostitutes and adult entertainment ladies (and men) have children and care for them just fine.
