NUTLEY — A Nutley woman was charged with child endangerment after her 5-year-old daughter was burned in a tanning salon, officials said yesterday.

Patricia Krentcil, 44, was charged April 24 after the girl showed up at her elementary school with burns, Essex County Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Katherine Carter said.



Police were notified by school administrators of the girl’s injuries and Krentcil was arrested a short time later, the spokeswoman said.

Krentcil posted $25,000 bail and was released to Camden County authorities, where she had an outstanding municipal charge, Carter said.

Krentcil allegedly took her daughter into a stand-up tanning booth in the week prior to her arrest, according to Nutley police cited on www.northjersey.com. Staff at the Nutley tanning salon, which was not identified, said they didn’t see the child in the booth.

State law prohibits children under the age of 14 from using tanning salons.



The child is in the custody of her father at their home, Carter said. The name of the tanning salon was not released because it is not been charged in the incident.



The investigation is continuing, Carter said.
