Suzanne Bobbie Calana was arrested in Miami last week on charges of human trafficking of a minor and furnishing drugs to a minor

Her daughter, 16, ran away from her grandmother - her legal custodian - in May to live on the streets with her mother

The girl 'learned prostitution from her mother after seeing her exchange sex acts for cash while she was in the same room'

She 'often prostituted herself just to give her mother money for drugs'

A mother forced her teenage daughter into prostitution after they started doing drugs together when the girl was just 12, police have said.

Suzanne Bobbie Calana, 37, was arrested in Miami, Florida last week after another young girl under investigation for prostitution tipped off police.

Her daughter, who is now 16, had been put in the custody of her grandmother after her mother lost her legal parental rights following a long line of drug arrests, the Miami Herald reported.

But in May, the girl ran away to live with her mother on the streets and became addicted to cocaine, crack cocaine and Xanax, she told police.

She turned to prostitution and sometimes sold her body to give Calana money for drugs.

'The victim explained that she learned about prostitution from her mother,' an arrest report said.

'The victim recalled instances where her and her mother engaged in sexual activities with men, while in the same room, in exchange for money.'

Calana then allowed her daughter to move in with suspected drug dealer Lawrence Martin, 43, who is also known as 'Paper', police said.

Martin, who was also Calana's pimp, allegedly forced the teenager to earn at least $150 a day, and also had sex with her and gave her drugs, according to the arrest report.

He was also arrested last week.

Calana and Martin are charged with human trafficking of a minor, furnishing drugs to a minor and interfering with custody.

'Every time you've think you've seen the worst case, another one comes along that is hard to believe,' Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle told the Herald.
