When will parents learn that the best gift they can give to their children is the word "no?" Boundaries are key to a child's development. Children should not "choose" all aspects of their upbringing... this is what leads to older teens and young adults having a sense of entitlement to everything.
On another note- this girl is old enough that her peers/classmates could be aware of what is happening, as well as old enough to file the memory away. She could be ridiculed at school for many, many years over this.
For those who said that the mom is doing it for her own benefit- I could not agree more.
