Le jeune fille anglaise Sam Holt n'a que 13 ans, mais elle affiche un "palmarès" digne d'une "bad girl" adulte : elle fume 15 cigarettes par jour, elle consomme l'alcool à volonté, et a déjà 4 partenaires sexuels.
Sa mère Tracy (43 ans), célibataire et chômeuse, se dit plutôt contente de sa fille. Lorsqu'elle a appris que sa fille couchait avec les garçons, elle l'a accompagné chez le docteur pour lui prescrire la pilule et lui a conseillé d'utiliser les préservatifs!
Lorsque Sam se fait sage et nettoie sa chambre et ne fait pas de bêtises, sa mère lui offre des cigarettes en guise de "récompense"!
La fille et la mère ont l'évidence besoin d'une aide psychologique.
Girl, 13, who smokes drinks and has sex 'rewarded' by mother with cigarettes
Tracy Holt, 43, says there are a "lot worse things" her daughter Sam could be doing than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and believes that because she herself hasn't yet suffered from cancer, "she'll probably be alright anyway".
She knows her daughter hangs out with friends in the street, drinking cans of lager and smoking pot, but says she is simply glad Sam is not "a proper drunk" and has not graduated to harder drugs.
"I don't see the point in punishing her. If I ground her, I'm just punishing myself because I have to put up with her in the house," she said.
"Instead, I reward her good behaviour by giving her cigarettes. If she's bad, she goes without.
"She's a little comedian. I let her get away with a lot of cheek. It's sweet."
Mrs Holt, a jobless single mother with two other grown-up children who smokes 20 cigarettes a day herself, said giving them out as a reward "works".
She said: "There are a lot worse things she could be doing. We've all got to die sometime. I haven't got cancer from smoking so she'll probably be all right anyway."
Sam agrees that she will do more around the family home, in Gosport, Hampshire, when bribed.
"If Mum tells me to tidy my room, I ignore her but if she offers me a fag, I do it," she said.
She admits to having had four sexual partners in less than a year, but told Closer magazine: "I only sleep with boyfriends. I worry about getting pregnant because I don't want kids until I'm married so I always use condoms."
Sam lost her virginity when she was 12, and told her mother shortly afterwards. Miss Holt said she was shocked at first but hid her feelings well.
"I thought it was a joke, so I laughed," she said. "I was disappointed. No mother wants to know her 12-year-old is having sex but I'm glad she told me.
"I didn't show I was angry and just kept it to myself."
She went on: "It wasn't a one-night stand. She had been dating the guy for a couple of weeks. I took her to the doctor's the next day to get her on the Pill. I've told her to use condoms."
Sam's track record at school leaves a lot to be desired, and she has been excluded for bad behaviour more than 40 times.
"Sam got suspended for the first time after she climbed on to the school roof," she said.
"I shouted at her and then explained she shouldn't climb on roofs because she could fall off. I didn't know what else to do."
She believes her daughter's behaviour is down to the teachers at her school who were "too soft" with her.
"Now she is at a special school where there are fewer kids in each class," she said.
"Hopefully these teachers will be stricter and she will finally get the discipline that's needed."
