A rescue crew managed to save it. The horse was exhausted and had water in its lungs, but is going to be fine.
Patricia Krentcil, mother of a 5 year old little girl living in New Jersey denies all charges of bringing her daughter in to go tanning. The little girl showed up at school with a horrible sunburn and when asked about it, her teacher overheard her say that she went tanning with mommy. School officials alerted the police. Her mom denied the claims and blamed it on a sunburn from outside. The law prohibits children under 14 years of age to be allowed in the tanning booth. Patricia Krentcil admitted to letting her daughter in the room but still stands firm that she was never exposed to the actual tanning bed. After much questioning, police still believe that Patricia Krentcil's daughter did go tanning with her mother. She was released from jail but charged with felony child endangerment and a $25,000 bond.
