FWIW, the story I saw on GMA this morning, she insists that she never took the girl in the booth, the tanning salon insists she was never there to begin with, and her father insists that the girl sat in the waiting room with her brother, while Mom was in the booth.
They also said that she pays a flat rate for her tanning and does the maximum 12 minutes a session 20 times a week. (Did I hear that right, 20 times per week, for 12 minutes a pop? 240 minutes a week? 16 hours a month?) That's a part time job!
ETA: I did want to say this. I am not a person that is against tanning 100%. Of course, children shouldn't tan, and I do think that it was endangerment if she did take her daughter in that booth. But, my best friend is my best friend again because of tanning. She has severe seasonal affective disorder, and in the winter it's a team effort to even get her out of bed. No meds that seem to touch it...six minutes in a tanning bed, and she's back, good as new. I can't get in a tanning bed. They did a story on the bacteria that live in them, complete with swabs, and UV light tests. I want to vomit every time I even see one now, let alone getting in one.
