Woman Arrested for Taking 5 Year Old to Tanning Salon

This nutty New Jersey Mom (aka beef jerky) has been charged and arrested for taking her 5 year old to a tanning salon after the child arrives at school with a sunburn.

A terrible thing to do, but does not fit the description of the terrible channel:

though not quite as bad as this woman. I know a woman who is just like this. late 40s or early 50s, body of a 20 year old, but skin of a 80 year old because she tans so obsessively.

Is this one of those things where ultimately it will be blamed on men because of the "my man likes me like this" mentality?

Unless the man is tying you down and forcibly putting you under those bulbs, it's all on you honey.

At least the comments here are a bit more reasonable...although a bit off track from what the actual news story is. Yes, she's damaged her appearance. Big deal....that's her choice.

What -I- find interesting is that nowhere, anywhere, have I seen the slightest shred of evidence that she actually did anything wrong. Her daughter said that she tans with Mommy. Mom, Dad, and the attendants at the tanning salon all agree that the girl never went in the tanning booth. Where's the grounds for an arrest? Because she had a sunburn? I'm pretty fucking sure there are ways to get sunburned that don't involve a tanning booth. I'm even almost sure that they might qualify as "going tanning with Mommy".

Fucking Hell woman do you OWN a mirror!? Is this like anorexia? When she see's her reflection does she see someone who is WAY too light colored?


Looks like some form of body dysmorphic disorder, so yeah, pretty much. Anorexia can fall within that category but doesn't necessarily always have to (many different causes).

Also, you guys are terrible! All jesting aside, I hope this woman gets the help she clearly needs before she ends up passing her compulsions onto her daughter (or further the damage she may have already done). I imagine mommy here is much more naturally pretty as a fair-skinned red-head than this crispy monstrosity we see here before us (assuming the daughter takes after her genetically, the point stands either way).

I was interested in this too. If this is the case the judge won't even let this go to trial because it's just stupid when you have NO evidence.

Seriously, you should realize that you have a problem, when your skin is the colour of an over-cooked ham.


If you look around, you can find other pictures of her that are drastically different. There are photos of her at her court appearance, and her mug shot that have a totally different color.

This looks like a spray-on tan, possibly overdone on purpose to make for a more spectacular broadcast.

It's easy to make spectacular claims, if you don't need muchany evidence.

It's because she's black, now.>> ^Stormsinger:

Her defense is that she left the kid alone outside long enough that the kid got a bad sunburn despite wearing sunblock! You know you are in trouble when your defense is just as bad as the thing you are charged with.

Auger8says...

I'm sorry but it's obvious she is lying she changes her story like three times and is way way too defensive about it in the first place for someone who is innocent. First she starts to say "tanning is ok as long as.... I just like to tan.", then she says "it just didn't happen", then she says "well other parents bring their kids", then she says she got the sunburn outside. So what's the real story here lady? And why would the little girl tell her school she got the sunburn while tanning with her Mom if that's not what happened? Why would a 5 yr old lie about something like that? You think the kid was TRYING to get her Mom in trouble? No the more likely reason is that this woman who is obviously addicted to tanning decided her Fair skinned child was hideous and took matters into her own hands. Look in the mirror lady the only thing hideous around here is you and your behavior.

None of what you mention is evidence, you know. If I, or most people, get accused and arrested for something I didn't do, we quite likely get a bit defensive. And being interviewed on TV is more than enough to fuck up your train of thought if you're not an experienced interviewee. It's surprising how disruptive those lights and the pressure can be.

And once again, there are more ways to tan than in a booth. As a matter of fact, more people tan out in the sun than in a booth.

Being inarticulate when under pressure is not evidence of a crime. So far, no hint of any evidence has been made public in this case. There hasn't even been any hearsay reported. The daughter's statement of "going tanning with mommy" makes no mention of a tanning bed. I'm really rather surprised that so many people are so willing to believe the worst of this woman, with so little reason. Especially on a site that is usually more than a little rabid in their down-with-police stance. I guess that attitude only applies to young and/or attractive victims.

I didn't say her actions were evidence I meant they were suspicious. There are certain things people do when they lie, such as looking left, avoiding eye contact, stopping mid-sentence to change a statement, justifying actions for no reason(as in there is no reason to justify your actions if your innocent). She exhibits enough signs that I doubt her story. I could be wrong who knows. I sorta doubt that I am wrong however I do hope for the child's sake that I am.

But let's say your right and she got sunburned while tanning with her Mother outside. Is it any better that she took a 5 yr old to tan outside than it is to tan a 5 yr old in a tanning bed?

And speaking from experience here as I have red hair and fair skin myself. People with red hair and fair skin don't tan EVER period we burn end of story she should know better. Some people don't have the ability to tan. Their skin simply won't take it. This child will never have a natural tan the only way she will ever look tanned is through the use of spray on tanning. The fact that she would even try to let her daughter tan either in a tanning bed or outside in the sun is simply idiocy.

Are you fucking serious? You don't see a problem with her being arrested for taking her daughter outside?

Get a grip man! You're descending into idiocy...stop the slide now, and start thinking about what you're saying. You're starting from the decision that she's in the wrong, and now you're flailing around to try and find what it was she did. Rationalizing a prejudgement is a common human behavior, but that doesn't make it a good thing.

I know she looks a mess, but that's hardly reason to presume she's guilty of a crime. And that's precisely what the vast majority of commenters (on other sites, not so much here) are doing. Here, most are just making nasty comments about her looks, and ignoring the fact that she's been arrested apparently without evidence.

Auger8says...

TYT says it better than I can maybe you'll listen to them as there is more to this story than meets the eye.

And btw in the U.S. a person is normally arrested and charged with a crime FIRST, then you are issued a trial to determine your supposed guilt or innocence this is normal not unusual and just because someone is arrested doesn't automatically mean they are guilty.

And Cenk says exactly what you've been implying, "Guilty. I mean look at her, she's a freak." Completely decided the case without a shred of evidence that there even -was- a crime. There was no discussion of whether or not a crime was committed, his judgement was based wholly on her looks.

I don't know how I can say it any clearer...her looks, no matter how awful, don't justify arresting her. And her looks are the only thing any article I've seen has talked about.

Ya I knew you were going to get hung up on that part but I could honestly care less about what Cenk was saying in this(he's usually an idiot anyway). In fact watch it again and just mute it every time he opens his mouth.

It's what Ana says that's important here she states that the burns on the girl were so bad that even if they did occur outside it still qualifies as neglect on the mothers part and since it hasn't even been hot in New Jersey this time of year it's rather doubtful that burns of that degree occurred from the child being outside.

Like I said there is more to this story that meets the eye. I'm not basing any of my reasoning on how this lady looks it's how she acts and what she says that really disturbs me. And it should disturb you as well.
