Jersey mom charged for putting daughter, 6, in tanning bed

A New Jersey mom is accused of putting her six-year-old daughter in a tanning bed.

Patricia Krentcil pleaded not guilty to a child endangerment charge on Wednesday.

State law prohibits anyone under 14 from using tanning salons.

The issue arose when the child’s elementary school noticed her sunburn and notified authorities, after the child said she’d been tanning with mommy.

Krentcil maintains her daughter got burned while she was outside on a recent warm day.

She will be allowed to maintain custody of her child during the proceedings.
