Quote:

A Nutley, New Jersey, mother was arrested after allegedly taking her 6-year-old daughter to a tanning salon and causing a slight burn after the child used one of the tanning beds.

However, Patricia Krentcil, 44, told WCBS in New York that the whole thing was a big misunderstanding.

Krentcil, 44, admitted to a love for tanning, but insisted she would never tan her daughter's fair skin, WCBS reports.

"I've been tanning my whole life, going to the beach, tanning salons and so forth," she said.

WCBS reports: "Krentcil said when the school nurse asked her daughter how she got burned, she simply said, 'I go tanning with mommy.' However, the woman said her daughter's burn was not from getting into a tanning bed, but from being outside and playing in the backyard."

Krentcil has been charged with second degree child endangerment, ABC News reports.

*scratch my head* -

Normally tanning salon have rule for everyone who allows to go in... Example about buy alochol, cigarettes, tattooes, etc.? The owner of salon is the responsible...

It didn't says anything that the mother knows about rules or not?

I see parents that allows their child to tan on the beaches. Or let their babies or small child get sunburn. Are they going to arrest them too?

Quote:

(CNN) -- A New Jersey mother pleaded not guilty Wednesday to child endangerment charges after being accused of illegally allowing her 6-year-old daughter to tan at a salon, according to prosecutors.

Patricia Krentcil, 44, was arrested on April 24 and later released on $25,000 bail following the alleged incident, said Katherine Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.

Prosecutors say Krentcil allowed her daughter inside a stand-up tanning booth at a salon in the northern New Jersey town of Nutley. It's not clear when the incident is alleged to have taken place.

Krentcil's attorney said the charges are unfounded.

"Forget about the presumption of innocence. My client is 150 percent innocent," John D. Caruso told reporters Wednesday. "She loves that child more than her own life and would never, ever, allow her child to go inside a tanning bed."

He said that Krentcil allowed her daughter to accompany her to the salon, but never allowed the girl into a booth.

New Jersey law makes use of artificial tanning facilities by children under the age of 14 illegal. Children over age 14 can use tanning equipment only with permission of a guardian.
Krentcil's next court appearance is scheduled for June 4.

NUTLEY, N.J. - New Jersey mother Patricia Krentcil appeared in Superior Court in Newark Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to a child endangerment charge after allegedly allowing her 6-year-old daughter to tan at a salon.

CBS New York reports the 44-year-old did not speak during her brief court appearance, except to say "Thank you, your honor, have a nice day."

Krentcil has denied the charge, saying she would "never permit" her daughter Anna to go tanning.

"My client is 150 percent innocent," said Krentcil's attorney John D. Caruso Wednesday. "That child was never in that tanning booth."

The mother of five has previously admitted to bringing Anna into the salon but said she's never allowed the fair-skinned girl into the tanning bed.

"It didn't happen," Krentcil said. "She's 6-years-old. Yes, she does go tanning with mommy but not in the booth."

But according to prosecutors, Krentcil took her 6-year-old to a tanning salon near her home actually brought the child into a tanning bed, causing a slight sunburn.

When a school nurse asked how she got it, Anna simply said "I go tanning with mommy." Police were then called and Krentcil was arrested.

Krentcil calls it all a misunderstanding and said her daughter got the sunburn from playing in the backyard.

"Look at my daughter's picture, she's as pale as a ghost, she has red hair," Krentcil said outside court Wednesday. "I'm a great mother, I'm a wonderful mother. I would die right now for her."

Meanwhile, Anna is still living with her mother.

"She's home, they're not taking her away. She's home," Krentcil said.

Anyone under the age of 14 is prohibited from using tanning salons in the state of New Jersey.

Krentcil's next court appearance is set for June 4.

She's 44 years old but she looks at least 10 years older. I can't imagine how she'll look by age 60.

I endured 2 bouts of skin cancer, one on my arm and one on my hand....not from a tanning booth, but from the sun, living at the Beach....but I did use a tanning booth during the winter months...

If this woman, indeed, let her daughter use a tanning booth, then she needs some jail time, or big fines...This woman will be singing a different tune once she acquires skin cancer in a few years!

Tanning Mom Calls Her Critics 'Jealous,' 'Fat' and 'Ugly'
Patricia Krentcil, Tanning Mom, Criticizes Her Critics : People.com

Quote:

Patricia Krentcil, the slender, leathery New Jersey mom who's pleaded not guilty to bringing her 6-year-old daughter into a tanning bed with her, is heatedly lashing out at those who may criticize her look.

"They're jealous, they're fat and they're ugly," Krentcil, 44, told TMZ, after saying that "there's somebody out there my whole life who doesn't like me."

She agreed with the reporter's suggestion that she is the victim of a witch hunt, and once again proclaimed her innocence in the matter that has gained national attention.

"I'm a great mother, and I would never do that to my child," Krentcil said while loading her shopping into a car.

Krentcil's daughter, 6, apparently showed up to school one day with a sunburn, telling friends she went tanning with her mom. But Krentcil – whose skin is an unnatural shade of dark brown as a result of bronzing under lights – says the whole thing is "preposterous."

Tanning Mom Patricia Krentcil Lashes Out at Critics
Tanning Mom Patricia Krentcil Lashes Out at Critics | Healthy Living - Yahoo! Shine

Quote:

The New York Post calls her the "Toast of the Town." Dermatologists suggest that she suffers from "Tanorexia." And tanning-booth veteran Snooki, of "Jersey Shore" fame, slammed her for being a bad mom.

But Patricia Krentcil, the Nutley, N.J., woman accused of taking her then-5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, leaving the little kid with burns severe enough to alarm the school nurse, says that her detractors are just jealous. And fat. And ugly.

"I saw the headlines today, but I don't care! I don't care what anyone thinks of me!" The New York Post reported that she said outside of her hair salon yesterday. "There's somebody out there, for my whole life, that doesn't like me because they are jealous, fat, and they're ugly."

"I don't always sit in tanning booths," she insisted. "I have a life."

The 44-year-old mom of five repeatedly told reporters that she doesn't think she has a tanning problem. "Some days I tan more than others," she told the New York Post. "Do you drink coffee some days and some days you don't? It's the same thing. It's just like that."

"I like the sun. I'm from Long Island," she told reporters later at her home. "I lived at the beach."

She told reporters to look at Anna, who recently turned 6 and whose report to the school nurse about "going tanning" with her mom started the firestorm. "Look at my daughter," she said. "She's white as a ghost. She won't tan."

"If I had brought her in there, which I didn't, she'd be tanned from head to toe," she added.

Tanning bed veteran Snooki, who now prefers spray tans to tanning booths, doesn't buy it. "That b**** is crazy," she told "Extra." "You are not supposed to take kids there. Everyone know you are NOT supposed to take kids there."

In New Jersey, children under the age of 14 are not allowed to use tanning booths, and minors age 14 to 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Krentcil's husband, Rich, says that Anna got sunburned while waiting outside the salon on a warm April day; the owner of City Tropics Salon in Nutley said that his employees told him that the little girl waited outside with her father and brother while her mother was in the tanning booth. But Krentcil told the Associated Press "We went for a walk and I tanned…. I'm in the booth, she's in the room. That's all there is to it."

Krentcil was charged with second-degree child endangerment, and is out on $2,500 cash bond. She was on probation from a 1999 arrest for credit card theft, forgery, and writing bad checks, but that has been terminated, the Associated Press reported Friday.

'Tan Mom' could face 10 years in prison

Patricia Krentcil, now known as 'Tan Mom,' could face up to 10 years in prison if she’s convicted of child endangerment for allegedly taking her five-year-old daughter into a tanning booth last month.

The Essex County New Jersey Prosecutor's Office complaint warrant states that Krentcil took her daughter “in a stand up tanning booth causing first-degree burns on her body.” The warrant also says Krentcil was granted release on $25,000 bail.

Krentcil, 44, denies that she brought the girl into the tanning bed, and says she had burns from being out in the sun.

Her attorney John Caruso issued a written statement to In Session Thursday urging the public to not rush to judgment.

“The fact that she tans does not mean she could ever imagine bringing her child into a tanning booth or bed. Patricia would not and did not do this. All of us as children have heard the old adage, 'Never judge a book by its cover,'" Caruso says.

The Prosecutor’s Office is not commenting on the case, but a spokesperson says the “the investigation in active and ongoing.”

The court has not set a date for Krentcil’s trial.
