Maybe the image was just flipped or something. </p> <p>Either way, if the KFC thing is a hoax, the family is pathetic and that girl is going to have some serious emotional scars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1719062 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:49:57 +0000 singingbee 1719062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: yes. But the switching eye things made me think something else was going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1719060 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:48:26 +0000 Synchronicity 1719060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: She really did get mauled though, didn't she? I think it is just the KFC part that is a hoax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1719053 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:45:42 +0000 Synchronicity 1719053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Disgusting. I feel awful for that kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1719031 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:30:04 +0000 singingbee 1719031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know,the whole story sounded fishy to me. I swear I saw a pic where the eye patch was on the right side and then another pic where it was on the left and that's when I started to get skeptical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1718517 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:10:33 +0000 loveisstrange 1718517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOW. Thats really low... I was appalled that KFC had done that, but Im even more appalled that this woman used her granddaughter like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1718426 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:46:31 +0000 psw27 1718426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh... I felt like a big meany last week when I said to my DH that I thought it was a scam. Now, I see that my cynical self was right. </p> <p>I mean, I hope the little girl gets her surgery but I also kind of want to see the grandma be charged with fraud? KFC could probably sue grandma for slander/libel too since it dragged their name through the mud for a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1718409 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:42:24 +0000 aegie 1718409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: that's exactly what I was thinking. why would you USE and exploit your kid like that??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1718373 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:31:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 1718373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I was kinda skeptical of this story from the beginning... ugh.

Poor little girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717797 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:47:24 +0000 MrsSCB 1717797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, this is awful. My heart still goes out to that poor little girl. She didn't ask for any of this and someday she will likely find out her family used the horrifying attack on her face to try to scam people. How does someone deal with that? A plastic surgeon offered to help her for free, and I honestly hope he still does. Her family may be awful, but she deserves the help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717788 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:44:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 1717788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's sad, it's reason like this that I only donate to charities and people I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717749 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:32:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 1717749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh; people who would exploit their injured kid for money deserved to be kicked in the balls.

There was nothing grotesque about that little girl's face. People like her parents make it so hard for others really in need of support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717714 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:23:34 +0000 yerpie110 1717714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, this disgusts me. How shameful of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717713 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:23:19 +0000 blackbird 1717713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh, people are the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717707 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:21:51 +0000 mediagirl 1717707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I am SO not surprised. That family seemed like big winners from the get-go. This is why I'm skeptical and only donate to charities that I know where the money is going. Scammers like this are everywhere. I just feel so bad for that little girl. First she had her face mauled and now she has to deal with this. While she doesn't get it now, she will know what happened in the future when she googles her name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717691 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:15:26 +0000 snowjewelz 1717691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WHAT?! The original article made me so angry! Uggggh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717656 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 07:56:17 +0000 looch 1717656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just read an article in Time magazine this morning about the pros and cons of crowd funding. One of the major cons is that you can never be sure if you're going to get swindled. Holds true, I suppose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717653 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 07:55:06 +0000 swurlygurl 1717653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, that is so wrong. The article mentioned that people have raised $135,000 for the family, ON TOP of KFC still willing to honor their $30,000 promise towards medical bills.</p> <p>Stories like this just make it that much harder to believe anything you read on the internet. So sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717648 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 07:50:59 +0000 Smurfette 1717648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this on the new this morning. What is wrong with people?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-re-3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1717637 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 07:44:30 +0000 lawbee11 1717637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread was posted a week ago:</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1705341" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-year-old-asked-to-leave-kfc#post-1705341</a></p> <p>Well...apparently it was all a hoax. The family is sticking to their story, but nothing matches up. Seems like it was possibly a ploy to get donations. Not cool.</p> <p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/06/24/report-viral-story-of-disfigured-girl-kicked-out-of-kfc-was-hoax/" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/06/24/report-viral-story-of-disfigured-girl-kicked-out-of-kfc-was-hoax/</a> </p>
