Mother arrested for allegedly arranging sex
Police say underage girl was a gift for adult son
Detectives arrested a mother, her son and her sister after the mother allegedly arranged for her son to have sex with a 14-year-old girl on his 18th birthday.
Maj. Roy Frusha, spokesman for the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office, said Michelle R. Arceneaux allegedly helped plan the sleepover as a birthday present to her son, Tyler.

Frusha said detectives believe the 14-year-old was a party to the plans.
"They were all in on it together to be able to go spend the night at that person's home," he said.
He said he is unsure when the incident initially was reported but believed the girl's parents came forward after learning of the incident.
Detectives arrested Michelle Arceneaux on three counts of principal to felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile; Tyler Arceneaux on three counts of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile; and Sonya M. Townsdin, Michelle's sister, for unlawful purchase of alcoholic beverages by persons on behalf of persons under 21 and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.
Michelle Arceneaux is being held at the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. Tyler Arceneaux and Sonya Townsdin are free on bond, Frusha said.
If convicted, Michelle Arceneaux and Tyler Arceneaux could face up to 10 years in prison.
As disturbing as this story is to me, it doesn't compare to some of the online comments that were attached to it. Phrases like, "I'm sure it was consensual," or "That girl is a tramp," were used.
Consensual or not, the girl is still 14-years-old. However, that seems to be the state of our world these days. Our kids are no longer allowed to be children much past the age of 10 or 11. It also seems that parents are either oblivious to that reality, or even worse, a participant in it.
Each day that passes, troubles me even more to the kind of world in which our kids are growing.
Can we "reverse course" and get things back on the right track? I wish I knew the answer. History tells us that every great civilization erodes and eventually collapses. I pray that ours could break that cycle.
