My son got his worst sun burn ever while on a school field trip at this time of year, even though I had sent sun screen with him. A sunburn isn't proof of anything. If nobody saw the kid in a tanning booth, I don't how they'd prove anything. I suppose if the kid had no tan lines, that would be suspicious.
What bothers me about this is along the lines of what Pika is saying... there are kids in homes without heat in the winter, without running water, who are being abused severely, who were sexually abused for years by a stepfather who is still in the house but has stopped and, in comparison, this is pretty minor. Yes, this woman is a freak. Even if she did let the kid try out the tanning booth, I'm not convinced the kid should be removed from the home.
