DALLAS — The city cannot shut down a Dallas strip club just because a 12-year-old danced nude there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The city ordinance that regulates sexually oriented businesses does not allow authorities to revoke the license of such a business for employing someone under 18.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There's a laundry list of things we can use to deny or revoke a license, but having a 12-year-old dancing in their establishment is not one of the things that automatically enables us to revoke their license," said Lt. Christina Smith, a Dallas police vice unit commander who oversees licensing of such establishments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authorities say that over a two-week period last year, the sixth-grader danced at Diamonds Cabaret. They also say they found a 17-year-old girl working in the club in January.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Police are continuing to investigate whether the club's management knew that the girl — a runaway at the time — was underage.

I think there should have been criminal charges filed, I can think of a few including child endangerment, conspiracy for the club owners? Is this some sort of oversight by allowing this club to stay open? and Isn't the "sin tax" money used for helping abused children??? (the money collected by strip clubs)
