To be honest....I could totally believe the mom's story. That the kid was WITH her, but not in the booth and the kid SAID she went tanning with her mom. To a 5 year old, that's what they did. They went tanning which could only mean: we went to the tanning booth and I waited until mom was done.
However, SOMEONE needs to intervene on the MOM's behalf. That's not normal.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
