MIAMI (AP) - A woman pleaded guilty Monday to sending her 11-year-old daughter outside their home in her nightgown to peddle heroin.
Alison Lolanda Davis, 37, was sentenced to five years in prison in a plea deal. She's been in jail since being arrested last January, unable to make $120,000 bond, and was given credit for time served.
A prosecutor said proceedings were pending in juvenile court to terminate Davis' parental rights. The girl, who was not charged, is in state custody along with a sister.
Davis pleaded guilty to all nine counts against her, including cocaine possession, drug trafficking, child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a child.
Police said they started watching the South Miami house in October 2003 based on a tip. Officers said they saw the girl regularly selling $10 and $20 doses of heroin to drivers and pedestrians. Undercover officers said they made three buys before raiding the house.

Yea I was reading that in CNN yesterday or Wed I believe. They're homeless and she sent her and her sister into prostitution for money to survive. One of them is pregnant and the other got traded for a car. Both girls are under 15. I'll see if I can find the link.
Wherever I go, I play the victim role well. Watch, but don't learn from me.
Here ya go. I had it slightly backwards but all the patheticness was there.
Police: Okeechobee mom sells daughters for car, prostitution
OKEECHOBEE, Fla. — A mother is under arrest, accused of selling a 12-year-old daughter into prostitution and trading a 14-year-old daughter for a car.
The 39-year-old woman, whose name is not being released to protect the girls' identity, is charged with two counts of aggravated child abuse and two counts of sexual performance by a child. She was being held Tuesday in the Okeechobee County Jail on $400,000 bond.
Both girls have been turned over to the Department of Children & Families, the Okeechobee News reported for Wednesday editions.
The youngest girl and her mother were living out of their car and the prostituting was for food and an occasional shower at the men's homes, according to a report by Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office Detective K.J. Ammons
The youngest daughter is currently three months pregnant, the report said, and the girl was 11 when her mother first forced her to have sex with a man. She charged $20 for the sex.
The older daughter refused to be used as a prostitute and was allegedly sold for car.
"She was sold to a man for a Mercury Cougar," Ammons said. "But, he never gave the mother the vehicle."
Ammons said the car has an estimated value of $500-to-$1,000. That 23-year-old man has since been arrested. He was charged with sexual performance by a child and was booked into the county jail and is held on $100,000 bond.
The youngest girl told detectives that her mother pulled both girls out of school for fear they would tell someone.
"She said she was a good student and made A's and B's, and all she wants to do is go back to school," Ammons said.
Ammons said DCF will get the girls into a new school.

The little girls last line about school just broke my heart. Can you imagine what will go through her head now when she goes back ? Thinking about all those other kids who she knooooooooooows weren't treated the way her mama treated her.
Wherever I go, I play the victim role well. Watch, but don't learn from me.
well hopefully they'll do a good job of protecting her name for her safety. the last wanted is for them to have more emotional trauma. with the right influences and help, hopefully these girls will grow to realize they did nothing wrong and they're not bad, but their mother had SERIOUS problems.
