"Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't mean the person has to be proven guilty before they're arrested.If you read the story the arrest is BS. There's no quoted evidence that she actually put the kid in a tanning bed. The kid was sunburnt and the 5 year old said mom took her tanning. Remember innocent until proven guilty.0 -
She looks like a California raisin0

Heeey, let's watch it with the Planet of the Apes and the Keith Richards insults!
They're not only more awesome, but infinitely more attractive, and healthier looking! 0 -

I agree - I think the situation was misunderstood and blown out of proportions because of the way she looks( She obviously is addicted to tanning ).......there is no proof that the child was ever in the tanning bed. The teacher needs to have more evidence before calling the police on her for child endangerment.
The tanning salon would never allow a child to be in a bed...and from the looks of the mother, she ain't about to share her time with the bed.....on another note, how do these tanning salons in good faith keep letting her tan when she looks like this! AHHH why isn't there a monthly limit to tans?0 -

Just because the article doesn't say what the proof is, doesn't mean there isn't any. Of course the mother is going to deny it. The nurse at school may have misunderstood what the kid meant when she said she goes tanning with mommy, but the mother might be full of it, too. You have no way of knowing the arrest is BS, and neither do I. Only time will tell.0 -
This is exactly what I was thinking. At some point somebody has to tell her no more. I mean really do you want her to be your companies walking billboard. YIKES. Scared me. And how do people not say something to her. Typically you try to look people in the eye when you speak but I would so be looking at the ground. Sounds mean but come on.Has she not looked in the mirror? And what tanning salon actually would sell her more tanning time? Yuck.0 -
I dont think this pic is her. Although she was terribly tanned and wrinkled, I think this one was photoshopped. There are others of her (not much better, but a little lol) that are the actual photos of her. She's crazy either way.0

Actually - the teacher doesn't need to have ANY evidence. Only a suspicion, in this case based on statements of the child. At that point, they are in fact, required by law, to report the situation.0 -

^^^^ LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
ROTFLMAO!!! :laugh: :laugh:Wait a minute. I've seen her before!
it!!! 0 -
If the teacher thinks the child is in danger, he or she is legally mandated to report it. It's not up to the teacher to investigate or insist on more proof.The teacher needs to have more evidence before calling the police on her for child endangerment.0 -
She looks like a mummy. Like King Tut's ancient preserved corpse. I don't know how a tanning salon could allow that kind of repeat abuse. Should there be something like the expectation that a bartender won't serve booze to someone who is already wasted? Her blood UVB/UVA level is way over the limit.0

Yes, but "actually" (hate that word) children say things, and things are not always what they seem....did they have a chat with the mother? did they ask any questions before involving police....you are required to report when children are in danger....I do not agree with any of this, but getting a tan is not abuse, (unless you look like the mother). I can bet that this case will be dismissed. All she said is I went tanning with mommy...not mommy let me in the tanning bed. There are whistle-blowers and there are conscious observers and reporters....BIG DIFFERENCE. The latter is what teachers are trained to be....0 -
Holy Schmoly! I thought at LEAST 60!!!!0

don't know how it got posted twice....but ya...
anyways. I am not here to argue but I think that the situation is a little exaggerated. And she FOR SURE looks disgusting and I hope her thoughts on skin care don't rub off on her child.0 -
SHe looks like whatshisname from Fargo

Completely shocked this happened in Jersey.0

She should be hit in the head with a tack hammer.
to be frank.. she looks like she already has been.
That and/or she took a savage beating with a fugly stick.
Why would someone do this to themselves?
LEt alone another person

Honestly I don't know how people can stand tanning beds, spray tans, or even the safer lotions. If I remember something I saw/read on the subject, tanning beds are worse than natural tanning as far as aging you and increasing your risk for skin cancer. (though I will add my Uncle was in the Navy for over 30 years and never used sunblock, granted when he first went in no one even knew about skin cancer as that was the 1950s, and now he's having to have huge patches of it removed from his skin) As far as the spray tans and lotions go, I just don't see the appeal because to me it gives people an orange tinge. I tried the lotions and I was getting pretty orange only after 3 days of a once a day application. But, that's my opinion and I certainly don't beat on people who use the stuff right or responsibly.
As for that mom, this is going to sound so mean, I'm surprised a guy actually could "stay up" long enough to procreate with her. She's startling and if her face looks that way I imagine the rest of her isn't much better. That aside, I agree with the arrest. If I'm remembering correctly, children are more sensitive to the sun which is why you have to slather them in sun screen or keep them covered when out in the sun so it stands to reason she'd be hurt from a tanning bed. And if the mother has some sort of addiction to the beds, that's a potentially dangerous situation since it would be teaching the kid the same habits.0 -
I know that redheaded little girl could burn super fast in a backyard.
I know 5 year olds will say all kinds of crazy variations of the truth.
The teacher / nurse had cause for concern and did what she thought was right. I hope it is all a misunderstanding and that the Mom has an epiphany about her own habits.0 -
If the child was actually taken to a tanning salon, my question is what salon would actually let a 5 year old tan!?! I worked at one for about 3 years, and the youngest you could be was 12 (which I still find to be too young) with a parent's consent, 16 without.
While working there, a mom came in to tan with her 5 month old child... and tried to take her child INTO the room with her!! Are you kidding me! The UV rays aren't just limited to the bed, dumbass. Needless to say, I babysat the child for 20 minutes.0 -
Damn I look pretty good for my age compared to her lol0
-
I am almost never a fan of interfering with the family dynamic, but this is sure cause to reconsider. If she really put her child in a tanning booth, she needs some guidance.
Guidance, yes...off of a tall building.0 -
Saw this story on the news this morning:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-57425927-504083/patricia-krentcil-new-jersey-mother-accused-of-putting-her-6-year-old-girl-in-tanning-bed/
What blew me away wasn't so much what she did, but how old she is!
Guess?
She's only 44! Yikes
...and this is why I choose to remain milky pale and wear SPF 80. :frown:0 -
Blown out of proportion or not... how is she going to take care of two young children when she is dying of skin cancer? What a shame!!!0
