Abuse Victim? Anna (shown here), age 5, told the school nurse she was sunburned because her mother, Patricia, took her to a tanning salon. Patricia said Anna was gardening in the sun; Anna’s father and brother (also shown here) said all three waited outside the salon while Patricia tanned inside. The story led to an arrest for child endangerment, a court trial, and a media frenzy.
