medium well please...


A 10-year-old girl suffered burns on 70 percent of her body after a 16-minute session at an unmanned tanning salon.

A few hours after she left the tanning salon in Port Talbot, South Wales, England, Kelly Thompson was taken to the hospital.

Doctors at the Welsh Center for Burns and Plastic Surgery said if Kelly had stayed in the tanning bed for another two minutes, she would have needed skin grafts. She must stay out of direct sunlight for the next 10 years, doctors told her.

Kelly’s mother, Sharon Hannaford, said Kelly went tanning out of curiosity. She is now making a public plea that all unmanned salons are shutdown.

When in the hell are these things going to be against the law? If you're a parent and you let your ten year old girl go to the tanning salon, you're a complete and total useless human being. In fact, you'd be better off just dropping 50 pound weight on her head or kicking her repeatedly in the abdomen. Why don't you make her a special card that says, "Im your parent, you're my child...I hate you." The salon should be fined or shut down. I know I'm as pale as the ghost of Christmas past, but I just don't see the point of this tanning salon stuff. Show me a tanning salon employee and or frequent tanning salon customer that's not in the adult entertainment industry and I'll show you someone facing a severe uphill battle on the left side of intelligence quotient bell curve.
