Patricia Krentcil of Nutley has been tanning her whole life, and may be accused of overdoing it to herself.
Now Krentcil, 44, is facing felony child endangerment charges for allegedly sneaking her red-haired, 5-year old daughter Anna into a tanning booth.
And what does she say about her critics? In a TMZ interview, Krentcil calls them "jealous, fat and ugly"
She added, "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."
According to Mail Online, Anna’s kindergarten teacher contacted police after she noticed burns on the child. Anna’s father Rich Krentcil said his daughter told her classmates she went “tanning with Mommy,” and the teacher misunderstood. Krentcil told NBC New York, "It was 85 degrees outside, she got sunburned. That's all that happened."
Police said Anna had received enough UV radiation to burn her skin and cause painful damage.
According to NorthJersey.com, the Nutley tanning salon staff said they didn't see Krentcil take her daughter Anna into the booth during the visit. State law says that anyone under 14 is forbidden to tan, and those under 18 need parental consent.
Krentcil admits her daughter has been in the tanning room, but never in the booth. She told ABC News, "The pediatrician said that she's got a little sunburn, but it was that weekend we were out doing the gardening.”
Fox News reported that the Camden County authorities wanted Krentcil extradited there on unrelated municipal charges after she posted $25,000 bail in Nutley.
Reports say that ultraviolet lights in tanning beds can damage DNA, and cause formations of dangerous skin cancer cells.
You, my dear, are the poster child for requiring a test for the most basic common sense and intelligence before being allowed to breed. Never mind who would even touch you -- your brazen, unfettered, wanton, unbridled, reckless, uncanny, blatant, unrivaled STUPIDITY should DISQUALIFY you from breeding! Because any kids you produce, even if they don't inherit what are clearly your STUPID genes, will most likely end up supported by tax-payers, whether in a psych ward, a hospital, a foster home, as a ward of the state (e.g. a prisoner), or whatever.
As it is now, it's too late to sterilize you -- I wish the rays had done that! But since you STILL "think" (I use the term loosely!) tanning a child is OK, your red-headed child should be taken away, and your TUBES TIED!!
