ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: A mother in Wisconsin was prosecuted, all because she told her young children a little too much about sex.

Apparently, Amy Smalley had a detailed conversation with her 11-and 15-year-olds about sex. When her older son mentioned it to his school counselor, Smalley was taken to court, where she was charged with exposing her children to harmful material.

She believes she's innocent. Smalley says she accepted a plea deal to prevent her children from having to testify.

Joining us now, defense attorney Ann Bremner and former district attorney Jeanine Pirro.

What's so funny?

JEANINE PIRRO, FORMER DISTRICT ATTORNEY: Preventing her children from having to testify?

COLMES: Yes, yes.

PIRRO: The truth is, she's the one who gave them the information that's so embarrassing we can't even...

COLMES: She doesn't want to have her kids on the stand.

PIRRO: ...we can't even talk about it on national television.

COLMES: She's protecting her kids.

PIRRO: She's not protecting her kids. That's why she's in the trouble she's in.

COLMES: You want — wait a minute. You know, you conservatives love to say...

PIRRO: I'm a — you know what? Let me tell you. I'm a mother. I'm a former judge, and I'm a former D.A.

COLMES: Congratulations. On three counts.

PIRRO: And let me tell you something.

COLMES: All right.

PIRRO: I live in a society where we recognize the harm to children, and you don't get it past...

COLMES: A lot of people — a lot of people say, "Don't have them have sex ed in school. Let the parents teach them. Let the parents teach." And here you want to have a parent talking to the kids about this, and you want to get the government involved and say you can't say that to your kid?
