Police: Mother knew child performed sex act on sibling

Why would a mother allow this? Is this report the whole story?
1-7-2011 Iowa:

An Iowa City woman has been arrested for child endangerment.

Police said the woman knew one of her children had performed sex acts on another one of her children in a bedroom while others watched on a webcam. Despite this, police said the woman continued to allow her children to be unsupervised in a closed room with a computer and webcam.

The woman’s actions were discovered when police were investigating the alleged victim’s 15-year-old sister for sexual abuse. As a result of that investigation, the older sister has been charged with second-degree sexual abuse.

Because the Press-Citizen does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault, it is not identifying the woman or her two children. The mother has been charged with endangerment, an aggravated misdemeanor. She was released from the Johnson County Jail on her own recognizance.

The alleged victim’s father is currently incarcerated. ..Source.. by the Press-Citizen
