A Houston, Texas Child Protective Services employee told a 14-year-old girl under the care of CPS that she should prostitute herself in order to make money to buy food.

“You gonna be a ho, be a real ho,” the CPS worker can be heard saying to the teen, who recorded the incident on video. Local news Fox26 reported on the incident in an exclusive.

The 14-year-old’s mother, Keisha Bazley, has a total of nine children and the girl in question started running away from home and frequently getting into trouble at school.

Bazley turned to the state for parental help and CPS came and took the 14-year-old and put her up in a hotel with kids stuck in the foster system. The hotel is part of a network in the CPS system in Harris County, Texas that houses children before they’re placed in permanent homes.
