Is it me or does Women look like a raisin with a wig on? (And no that is not her actual skin tone).

If she wants cancer good for her, but I totally disagree with her trying to tan her daughters skin. It should her daughter's choice and even then isn't a bit younger for it. I am their age requirement to use tanning beds.

The owner should of probably kicked her out.

I don't get peoples obsession with tanning? Some people look really good with a tan and others go over board (*Cough* Only Way Is Essex) and look a bloody Ompa Lumpa!

If you are fair skinned, you are fair skinned why is that so bad these days?

Seeing overly-tanned people make me want to spew my bowels.

It's gross and the fascination with it is even more gross!

[Solkia]

You ever see a person that is so ugly, that you feel sexy as hell just by looking at them?

Yeah, I think you just found her.

As for the accusation, her daughter didn't look like anything was done to her. So I don't know what to make of it.

Apparently she got a burn mark on her body.

[Mono]

This came out like last week. Where were you guys?

Anyway, I'm for letting her get skin cancer all over her body.

You misspelled 'for'.

This is, quite simply, ridiculous.

This... this is horrible. Horrible and unfair.

This woman has a chocolate fondue bath and she isn't sharing it with others.

The monster.


Okay, jokes aside, this is just ridiculous. Beauty isn't in the form of skin color or shape, but in confidence and personality. A nice body wouldn't hurt, but when you start to overcompensate, it definitely shows... and hurts. And it's even more hurtful when you impose this ideal upon your young and impressionable children. I feel sorry for this little girl. Her mom is behaving like a young teenager, and this just is not what she needs for a parent.

I sincerely hope that tan-tan-tan woman learns from her mistake... and doesn't get cancer.... good grief.

[Punished Snake]

I will see this woman in my nightmares.

Also, it should be said that the kid is a redhead. Redheads don't tan. The poor kid would just burn. D=
Why the hell would anyone want to use a tanning bed? People know the risks now, yet they still do it, purely out of vanity. It's confusing and sad.
There was a story a few years ago here in Australia about a girl called Claire Oliver who developed cancer from tanning beds, and used her last days to campaign against them. This letter, published in the Herald Sun newspaper, is absolutely heartbreaking and should make people think twice about getting in the booth.

[Fluttershy]

Not sure if chocolate bath...or Re-vitiligo...

Isn't there an age restriction on these things? I don't get the hype behind them. If I wanted to get skin cancer tan, I'd just lay out in my yard instead of paying for unnatural light, sun feels much better on your body personally. And personally, I prefer a girl with creamy white skin, not pale or albino, but very light.

Crazy lady must be trying to go for the legendary sun bleach.

Why anyone would want to use a Skin Cancer Box I don't know. Bronzed skin isn't very attractive and the freckles it leaves in its wake are often very ugly. Crazy bitch.

The woman insists she never put her daughter on a tanning bed, but admits that she brings her along for her frequent tanning appointments. I'm willing to believe that she's telling the truth. The child looks fine.

I didn't think tanning booths was one of those things you can get addicted to, but that lady is in dire need of an intervention.

[Azure Yakuzu]

Sweet Jesus...I have a comment I could make, but I think it'd be racist.

[Nepenthe]

There's nothing wrong with using a tanning bed.

There's something wrong with using a tanning bed to the point where you come out looking like the Annoying Orange. She isn't indicative of normal users and looks absolutely terrible as a result.

I also don't believe her when she says she's never allowed her child to get into the tanning salon. The kid herself is on record for stating that she's had procedures before, and children that young are just not prone to lying about something they do often with their parents. Couple that with this woman's obvious obsession with tanning spanning since she was in her teens, and there you have it.

[Tornado]

Not directed at the OP, but I'm having a hard time understanding how this is even news. Mother said she didn't do it. Police say she did. Both stories have some holes in them, but the police don't appear to have any proof beyond circumstantial evidence, because one would think that the article would have mentioned it.


So... who cares?

Haha, my sister is only two years older. She'd like to disprove that xP

[Nepenthe]

D: Your sister's the terrible, terrible, terrible exception, not the rule.

Although, the only reason I think a child would lie unprompted to a school nurse about where she got a burn from would be to hide the fact that it originated from a more unsavory place than a tanning bed, which I don't believe happened. This mom may be short-sighted but I don't think she'd intentionally hurt her kid.

[Vertekins]

Why these things aren't banned altogether I'll never know. They're a known human carcinogen and aren't safe for anyone. UV exposure to that sheer degree is just not safe. Even if the child did not get on that sunbed, she still isn't setting a good example at all by using that thing so much.

[Vicki Turner]

Sweet mother of everything holy.... Okay. She needs to stop. skin is posed to look and feel natural... not like a Bio-Weapon. :c

[eboni]

Ah, it's Tanorexia. I read about her in the paper last week. Quite frankly, she frightens the living crap out of me. Her husband saying that her tanning is just a hobby is just as terrible.
