I don't dispute whatsoever that, taken at face value, the establishment was entirely in the wrong, and not just for the little girl. Lacking some hygiene issue, it's just appalling that someone could be asked to leave a restaurant because their medical condition is "frightening."

But litigation is different, when the grandparents testify to how the little girl was traumatized by the restaurant, and then they're asked on cross-examination how the girl got the horrible trauma in the first place. "So you're outraged that the restaurant was insensitive to the maiming wounds and loss of an eye that your dogs inflicted on her?"

I really am not wanting to debate it, because it's all just horrible enough already. I simply have my doubts that litigation would be effective, and I've said why, and I'll leave it at that. Right now, I'm angry at the restaurant for kicking her out, if that's what happened, and for the grandfather for not keeping his pitbulls from chewing on her, if that's what happened. At the bottom line, we have a little girl who doesn't deserve any of this but has to live with the consequences probably forever.
Oh, I see what you're saying. But the question isn't who owned the dog. It's whether or not their actions caused that sweet little girl harm. I only hope they don't allow the institution get away with such callous action. The fact that the story's gone viral assures that they won't fly under the radar for it, so that may be enough.

By now the manager who did it has been called on the carpet bigtime, maybe even fired or demoted. The person caused KFC a huge embarrassment, and while 30K to KFC is a drop in the bucket (pun alert), corporations don't appreciate having a need for such payment showing on their books.

Most KFC stores are independently owned franchises. So while it may not seem like a lot of money considering the whole company, it might be enough to wipe out that one owner and put him/her out of business.

But it's not that franchise who's offered the money, it's corporate. And I doubt that corporate will choose to close that store down because of this, either by requiring the store to pay or for any other reason. Corporate is probably thinking try to settle right off the bat, punish the manager, let the water continue under the bridge.

In your mirror.
Good evening.

I am appalled and heartbroken. :down:

I'm wondering... in this day and age of technology...why is there no video of what transpired?

Have mercy, you cannot pick your nose in public (or in your car) without somebody taping/video what is/has occurred.

The customers who were all bent out of shape by that *scary* girl and reported to the management/employee to have her leave...wouldn't they have *caught it* on tape? Posted it on to Youtube?

May it be possible, just saying, the grandmother posted this on Facebook to get sympathy and DONATIONS?

I would like to see the security cameras of the KFC of that experience.

My two centavos.

Peace.

I imagine this is one of the reasons KFC is conducting and investigation.

So, in the great US of A we can't ask the person who has brought in a huge Doberman into a store whether or not the animal is a service animal (at least in the state of Washington), but we can ask a poor injured and scarred child to leave the premises of a fast food restaurant because it is making other diners nervous? WTF? What is wrong with our world?

Well, I think we can't do that, or get away with it.

I saw mentioned that $30,000 was going to be offered to the family. Hopefully that can pay for her facial reconstruction/surgeries.
That is what I was hoping, too - so maybe something good can come out of all this negativity.

Good night - I have to get up early - see you guys later :watermelon:

Well, hopefully the family has health insurance. The 30K would obviously help against deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses; though, sometimes plastic surgery isn't covered under health plans.

I have more questions about this whole thing than there are answers, and that leads me to think I just need to step away from the story and wish this little girl the best with her injuries and her future.
