In New Jersey this past week a mother was questioned for allegedly taking her 5 year old daughter tanning. The mother 44 Patricia is said to overuse the tanning bed and she says when she tans she continually takes her daughter with her, but she tans and her daughter waits in the room outside. One day her 5 year old daughter showed up to school with what appeared to be a sunburn and began to be questioned of it, not only by peers, but her teacher as well. School officials soon reported the incident to local police after the child responded "went tanning with Mommy". Police questioned Patricia and she disputed all allegations of taking or exposing her daughter to the UV rays of the tanning booth. Patricia kept repeating, "This whole big thing happened and everyone got involved. It was 85 degrees out and she got sunburned. Nothing else happened." After much questioning and some research by the police, Patricia was arrested and charged with taking her 5 year old tanning. What do you think? How wrong is this?
