Girl, 5, Burned at Tanning Salon, Mom Arrested

[Vampirate Kitsune]

It isn't so much the story that made me go WTH, it's the pictures of mom. She's Anglo, not African-American. She's obviously addicted to tanning. Take a look at both videos.

My first thought was "she looks like Mom's leather couch."

My first thought was "she looks like Mom's leather couch."

I thought she looked like a cartoon character. AT least, the picture I saw of her made me think that. Is this the one where she has the orange skin and pink lipstick?

Age 5 is to young for a Tanning bed. If they are 15 and old I say they can go to the TB with there parent or legal gaurdian permission, They too must be present. If they are allowed to have sex at age 15 then they should get the bed as well.

Now that is disturbing!! for crying out loud, you do not put a 5 year old in a tanning bed!! their skin can't handle it and at that age more prone to get skin cancer!! That lady is going to suffer a lot as she gets older from all that tanning!!

[Prism Stryder Kaede]

first off that lady looks like an orangutang had a baby with a leather couch >.>

second. that is a terrible thing to do with a child. What the ******** is wrong with you lady!

I once met a woman who tanned like the mom here. I thought she was in her fifties. She was actually 4 years younger than me! burning_eyes

[XxYandere-chanxX]

Wtf! Why let a 5 year old tan?! Their skin is too sensitive at that age and they'll have a higher risk of major burns and skin cancer!

[Fireweed_honey]

Maybe she took the whole Toddlers and Tiaras thing too far. I know they do spray tanning on that show, maybe she thought she'd have her daughter do the real fake bake.

Seriously, if my five year old wants to tan, she'll do so the old fashioned way: slathered with sunscreen running through the front yard playing with her friends. None of this tanning booth crap.

[xXShadow_wolf_demonXx]

Wowwww, some people have some serious problems.
1st of all, Why would someone tan THAT much?
2nd of all, who takes a kid tanning?!

[HWB009]

there's nothing wrong with getting a tan but DAMN there is a limit

[Captain Dory]

That mother looks like a walking piece of jerky. That or a dead husk, either way it doesn't look like she can move much because of how leathery her skin looks. Honestly that should be a clear sign to the authorities that this woman has real problems if she tans that much.

[Demyan The Devil]

JESUS. That b***h is Caucasian?!

[Lynessa Windrunner]

Wow, 5 year old kid plus tanning machine equals stupid mom. Thank goodness that b***h got arrested.

I actually believe that she didn't put her daughter in a tanning bed. BUT HOW THE ******** IS THAT LEATHER JACKET STILL ALIVE. gonk Maybe she has cancer-resistant genes.
