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.

One, this shows the continuous and amazing generosity of people.
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.0 -
the hoax needs to get as much attention as the incident. If KFC wishes to keep their promise of giving the money to the girl, they should put it in a trust or something where it can only be used for medical expenses directly from the hospitals or surgeons (not trumped up "misc expenses", like $5,000 in parking or some BS). The grandmother should be charged with fraud. And sentenced to eat nothing but KFC for the rest of her life. Where are the girl's parents? not in the picture? or complicit? charge them too if the latter. exploiting an injured little girl for personal gain is about as low as you can go.Gimli 1993

KFC can profit from this negative exposure turned positive. And good for them- as they honour their promise.Hugh Freaking Dillon said:the hoax needs to get as much attention as the incident.

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.

Looks like the family is standing true to their story, but still no mention of her parents.0

Sorry to make this post about me but but the first thing that comes to my mind when I read this is that if KFC is into doing the right thing, why did I receive zero compensation for the concussion I suffered from when slipping and falling on the back of my head in a KFC three years ago? I had no witnesses so it was my word against theirs even though I spent a couple hours in the ER. The manager there must have coerced his employees into telling the same lie because their stories were all the same and all of them were lies. No, I can't prove that, but I didn't lie, I didn't want a concussion and I didn't go after KFC for blood money. I lost a month of work due to severe headaches and dizziness. I didn't ask KFC for much- I wanted them to cover my medical expenses (MRI, ER, etc.) and loss of time at work- that's it! They paid only part of my medical expenses and zero dollars for loss of time. That's all I got.Jason P said:

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."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
^^^ hahaha, Thirty! I laugh out loud because my wife has worn "Birkies" for many years. No, my problem is these damn punk rock skate shoes. Now if I'd had some New Balance on- but nooooo, had to be flat bottom skate shoes, LOL. Truth is, that floor was so wet, I should have been on a surf board. Well, screw that deep fried road kill. Maybe I'll live longer for not eating that garbage any more. :-)"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Some people go to KFC to perpetuate their hoax and others get elected president and vice president and perpetuate their hoax on the world for their personal gain. Which would you prefer?

Becauuuuuuuse you made a choice not to come up with some wild scam like the grandma in this story. Humans are bunch of dishonest See You Next Tuesday's. Creative lying bastards we are. Manipulative self-centred AYE WHOLES I'm pretty sure is also what I mean. Hypocrites too. Yep... how does the gay guy say it?

:P :-c
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.

brian,
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...Post edited by chadwick onfor poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7
