Have you heard about the "tanning mom" yet? Patricia Krentcil of New Jersey has been accused of taking her 6-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, causing skin burns ... but she says she's innocent and her critics are "jealous."
"I'm innocent and it's proven... I would never -- never -- put my daughter in a tanning booth. We go out shopping. That's what we do," Krentcil told TMZ on Thursday. "Any mother that makes an accusation about me is not a mother, because I'm a great mother and I would never do that to my child." When asked by TMZ if she's the target of a witch hunt, Krentcil replied: "Yes. Yes. There's somebody out there on my whole life that doesn't like me because they're jealous, they're fat and they're ugly."
Krentcil does have some people on her side, though. The owner of City Tropics Salon in Nutley said employees who were there that day told him the girl remained outside with her father and brother and didn't go into the tanning booth while Krentcil was inside, CBS and The Associated Press report. New Jersey state law prohibits anyone under 14 from using a tanning salon.
Krentcil, who faces a second-degree child endangerment charge, pleaded not guilty in Newark Municipal Court on Wednesday morning; she's now free on a $2,500 cash bond. Police told The Nutley Sun newspaper they were called to the child's school April 24 because the kindergartner was in pain from a "pretty severe sunburn," and that she was complaining of itching, saying she had been to a tanning salon with her mom. Krentcil says her little girl got a sunburn from being outside on a warm day.

Who wouldn't be?
Everyone has some friend who can be straight with them who they trust. maybe she doesn't, Maybe she axes them since that person said, " a little less with the tanning, maybe?" lol
Even if she never puts the kid in the tanning thing, I would tease this kid without mercy, if i was a classmate and I never, ever teased anyone, I used to take care of people that bullied other kids. I just would not be able to stop myself.
So it is abuse, by the parents, no matter what.
Great catch TimothyBrian - Her eyes, mouth and brow really are similar to Zira, but the ape looks better for some reason. Seriously.
I worked in a Men's shelter for 4 years and had a friend who was on welfare and finally gave it up because it worked against his getting anywhere.
People think of it the way it used to be, but it is a new system.
