KFC Hoax

A few weeks back a story came out where KFC employees asked a grandmother and her 3 year old grand-daughter leave the KFC because the girls face scars were bothering the other patrons. She had previously been mauled by her grandfathers's pit bulls. Of course KFC went into damage control and issued public apologies and offered $30K to help with medical bills. A go-fund-anthing site raised $135K and a plastic surgeon offered his services pro bono.
Of course this being what our society has devolved into, the story is turning out to be a scam based on security footage and meal reciept history. KFC is still going to donate the money, mainly because it is the right thing to do and you don't want to look like an asshole for punishing a 3 year old girl who was first mauled by her grandfather's pit bulls and then exploited by Gramma.
My question is whether or not the grandparents will face criminal charges. Prior to the hoax, the go-fund-anything site had only raised $600. The good thing is that the little girl will be getting healthcare that beforehand would not have been feasable. But how is it insured that all of the money collected goes to healthcare bills? And the negative attention KFC garnered had to affect sales.

Two (if indeed a scam), this shows yet again the propensity of some to take advantage and just be general pieces of shit.
I hope this isn't true, but the cynical side of me doesn't find it so far-fetched.
Either way, I'm glad the little girl will have some assistance in her ordeal.

I agree here where the money should have checks and balances to ensure it is spent appropriately.
The girl should be removed from her grandparents immediately. The dogs should be put down and the grandparents should be charged, sentenced, and imprisoned with 'something' for the attacks that have left the girl disfigured.
And, as in the 'some people's dogs' thread... another pitbull story piled on to the heap.
:(
You'd also think they'd give you a couple coupons for some big crunch sandwiches. Man, why do those have to be shitty for you? They taste so good. Throw in those fries with the gravy. Mmmm.
Its like you werent thinking. As if you hit your head and blanked out.

Still can't get over that song about the logger, dodger, lager dude. man.... that made my day.
Sorry you didn't get any compensation - woulda been nice. You just weren't crafty enough like this wise old evil knievil granny boll wevil. I can assume many things about your story and the granny's story, but I'm not an arse.... wait a tic - ya... today, I'm definitely an arse. I think you just didn't have the tools in your toolbox the granny did. Would you want those tools though? If you had the drive to get a good lawyer, maybe you're story would have turned out different. Woulda been so friggin stressful though I think. Law suits can hardly be stress free .... can they?? ika ramba. don't even wanna think about it.
Speaking of charity - time to GIVE to a few! It's the christian thing to .... shit, wrong thread. Pearl Jam - you're making me do funny things! I need me a pistachio.

Enjoy that pistachio. Say, I think it margarita time! Until next time... :-)
was there a sign up standing on the floor, "caution wet floor, walk nicely or bust your ass?"
if i walk into walmart & i trip & fall down all over the place why would i find me a lawyer to file a lawsuit against walmart because i myself slipped or tripped over a rug or an ant or a teddybear w/ a giant erection?
please help me understand why it is anyone's fault but my own?
pumping gas i could very easily trip over the gas hose as they hang all over the pump draping over & onto the concrete...

Concussions suck.
Maybe I give American society a tad bit too much credit to do the right thing, but for both of those things to happen in sync with each other just felt way too made up. I could see one or the other. Just not both.
Anyways, I hope she gets the care that she needs both medically and emotionally.
I agree, jethrojam, I hope that kids gets some good help. Maybe that's what grandma wanted all along- who knows. Better to have sought help in an honest manner though. Tough break for the kid- hopefully she gets the help she really needs.
thank you western washington residence. bizarre thinking to me is all i gotta say
how about we have a bottle rocket war & throw dirt clods at each other as we drink bottles of whiskey & throw darts at one another. sometimes folks are no fun
brianlux i am sorry you cracked your head. walk slower & be aware of your surroundings i guess i don't know. at the pool & in the shower area i walk slower than my normal caterpillar crawl as the floor's surfaces are slippery. if & when i crash & burn it is not gonna be pretty. then you can give me a hard time please

I sincerely hope you do not crash and burn but were that to happen, I would light a candle for you. It's the only ritual I know.
i will light your candle tonight just because
i am sorry if i came across harsh & whatnot. i am just fed up w/ the lawsuits in this country it is ridiculous. be well, good guy
