Police say a 32-year-old Bradenton woman ran a prostitution business at home while caring for her infant child.

Danielle Nicole Barron was arrested Thursday and charged with child neglect and prostitution, according to a Bradenton Police Department report.

On Thursday, officers, who had received a tip, conducted a prostitution sting, contacting Barron by phone from an ad she had placed online, according to a police report.

During the sting, Barron stated she wanted $200, at which time she was arrested.

After she was read her rights, Barron told officers that she knew it was dangerous to bring strangers to her house with an infant at home, but that she was "addicted to money," a report states.

Barron told police that while clients were in the house, her child was outside with her boyfriend, according to the report.

Child Protective Services was contacted and removed the child from the house, the report concludes.
