Possibly this. She could have just put the ad in Craiglist without the commentary.
I think there are a few possibilities with this situation:
1) Mom was really frustrated and it came out in the ad. Mom is really trying to do the right thing with an out-of-control daughter. The daughter still may not learn the right lessons anytime soon, but the mom is doing the right things. The daughter either repents (unlikely in my opinion) or gets even more wild and ends up out of that house with two years pregnant, a runaway, an addict, or worse. I've not seen many kids get successfully reeled back in at this point.
2) Mom is using this situation to get attention for herself. If that's the case, the daughter is truly screwed, as she's probably been competing with her mom for attention for a little while. If mom is the kind of person who turns every situation with her daughter into something about her, then I don't see healthy life lessons being learned.
