Little girl asked to leave KFC

[Bryan James]

The last time I carbon dated myself I woke up blind with Michael Chrichton and an angry T-Rex in my bed.

I said "carbon-date", Bryan, not "taser".

I think the whole story stinks from any angle. If KFC employees asked them to leave because Victoria is "scary-looking", shame on them.
If the grandparents are scamming the public and milking this for all it's worth, shame on *them*.

And whatever money comes in, there should be a conservator appointed pretty much right now to be sure that the money goes where it's intended and not the pockets of someone else.

THIS.
Right or wrong, there's a lot of money involved. I hope the interests of that child's claim on it are being protected.

Is this considered the final investigation finding?

AP News : KFC: No proof worker asked scarred child to leave

Two separate investigations and no evidence.

Many people want to see video to believe nothing happened. I don't know how you can tape something that didn't happen. Can you prove a negative ?

IMO grandmother should have to face some kind of consequence. KFC employees had death threats, had drinks thrown at them through drive thru window and were treated with hostility in public. They may have even lost pay because business was so bad they had their hours cut. Money needed to pay rent/mortgage, food, gas etc.

I agree Victoria should be under the care of CPS and all monies in trust with appropriate attorneys.

KFC handled this with good grace, compassion and generosity from the very beginning and continue to do so despite the findings.

Until the next chapter...

Peace.

Innocent until proven guilty. But KFC and all employees there have been assumed as guilty. Even if ONE employee had done it, that would not make ALL. employees guilty.

But nobody expects the grandmother to have to prove anything. People just blindly send in their money.

Seems pretty clear the family made this up to get money. Poor little girl.

I said earlier I felt it was important to know if the grandfather who owned the pitbulls was the spouse of the grandmother that made the accusations against KFC. So, for anyone who does not read the entire articles, I was to quite this part.

Investigators said three pit bulls attacked Victoria in the backyard of her grandfather's home. According to WAPT-TV, the grandfather, Donald Mullins — Kelly Mullins' ex-husband — shot and killed two of the dogs; a third was euthanized. The grandfather and his girlfriend were later arrested on child-endangerment charges.

I think making these false allegations is horrible, but they were not her dogs.

Yes, you can.
I hesitate to accept the findings of an investigation conducted by the company that runs the restaurant. Hardly objective, and that statement was issued by a spokesman for the company that netted, what, 13 billion last year? I didn't catch the name of the independent, objective investigators that agree that it didn't happen.
If they really want the definitive last word on the matter, why don't they just give her a lie detector test? It wouldn't be admissable in court, but it would at least settle the matter in the eyes of the public.

If it's proven beyond doubt by investigators that aren't affiliated in any way with the restaurant that it didn't happen, people will just have to accept that. The good news is that the little girl is being taken care of.

From what I see, it does appear to not be true.

I agree that the KFC investigation should carry skepticism.

But to be fair, the grandmother posting an account on Facebook is hardly objective, either. And that has been the only evidence of the allegation. It's like KFC was accused, tried, convicted, and sentenced on the basis of one uncorroborated witness with a personal stake in the outcome.

It might very well be a hoax. But that article is careful to use vague terms like "supposed" and "might" specifically to avoid being the definitive answer.

Absolutely. If she were that wounded, she should have contacted a lawyer, not social media.

 

[Shasta]

You may be right. I have no idea. The whole thing is strange.

 

[AnnaMarie]

Shouldn't the accusation have to be proven? The woman accused an employee, but offered no proof of her granddaughter being asked to leave.

She said it happened in a restaurant that closed two years ago.

And still, you feel KFC has to prove their innocence? She should have to prove their guilt.

In this day and age, anybody and everybody should carry a cell phone equipped with video. If Granny had used one, there would be no dispute. As it is, whether it happened or not, that kid gets to live with the stigma of being called a hoax. Though I'm sure nobody blames the tot, she's at the center of it all.

 

[AnnaMarie]

And since it appears the grandmother made it up, what does that say of what she thinks when she looks at her granddaughter.

That poor kid. Fortunately it seems she will get the surgery she needs, but I wonder if it's been worth it.

Thank you.

Hopefully, sweet Victoria will not be known as a hoax.

But Victoria will have to live with the FACT her grandmother labeled her *Scary Girl*.

Peace.

Luckily the kid is young enough to maybe forget about this situation after a while, and when it comes up in the future I'm sure the grandmother will have a "Do whatever I have to, by any means necessary, to pay for your surgery" defense.

As wrong as this hoax may have been, at the very least it looks like the kid will get treatment. I've seen people do things just as horrible for lesser reasons.
