Beat me to it!
The scars and dog attack was real or not?
I remember seeing a photo of the little girl. She obviously suffered some serious damage, but they also weren’t so bad that I’d give them a second glance. I can’t imagine anyone being upset by them.
Were scaring patients? What the hell were all the patients doing at KFC???
The scam was wrong. But the donations to help her recover from injuries that were inflicted upon her are still a decent thing to do for a little girl who is surrounded by unscrupulous people.
I’ve wondered about some of these “stupid restaurant employee” stories...just get an employee who is willing to play along with the “victim” and do some stupid or racist thing, then after they’re fired, split the payoff from the company.
Wait a minute! The absence of Closed Circuit Video proof that something happened doesn’t prove it didn’t happen. Was there a gap in the tape? Were the employees interviewed? Was the grandmother able to point out the employee that asked her to leave with her granddaughter? This sounds like professional damage control after the fact. I want to know more details before I jump to conclusions.
“It has been a heart-breaker, I can tell you that right now,” said Donald Mullins in an exclusive interview with 16 WAPT’s Scott Simmons. “It has just about killed me that my grandbaby almost died because of my dogs.
Mullins’ granddaughter, Victoria Wilcher, was attacked by three of his pit bulls at his Simpson County home in April. Bones in her face were broken and she lost an eye because of the attack.
After one of her many doctor’s appointments, Victoria’s grandmother said she took the little girl to a KFC in Jackson last month, but was asked to leave.
“They just told us, they said, ‘We have to ask you to leave because her face is disrupting our customers.’ (Victoria) understood exactly what they said,” said Kelly Mullins, who is Donald Mullins’ ex-wife.
Since the media reports of the allegation went viral a week ago, the family, using the crowdsourcing fund website, gofundme.com, has raised more than $133,000 as of Friday afternoon. Before the Facebook post was reported by the media, the family had raised less than $300.
Victoria’s family has retained Jackson attorneys Lindsey Turk and William S. Kellum.
When asked to respond to the KFC statement Friday, Turk said she had no comment.
Victoria’s Victories also has reported that a Las Vegas plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Stile, has offered his services to Victoria at no cost to the family through a nonprofit foundation.
Turk confirmed that Stile was to fly to Jackson this morning to meet with the family. Turk said the family has not yet accepted any offers of free services from anybody.
What is that? Some chicken supervisor wants to keep his job so he surreptitiously calls the paper to say the story was a hoax?
I called this when it first came out....obvious hoax.
On April 10, three of Donald Mullins’ 10 pit bulls burst through a door and began mauling Victoria at his Garrett Road home.
Simpson County Sheriff Kenneth Lewis told WAPT at the time that one of the dogs ripped open the back door and jumped on the little girl.
The other two dogs dragged the girl into the back yard and began mauling her. Donald Mullins and his girlfriend, Rita Tompkins, were arrested and charged with child endangerment, but both are out on bond.
Grandmother, Kelly Mullins
We live in a twitter world. We would rather send dollars to some kid in MS than look for a similarly needful child down the block.
We do not go to church, we do not know our neighbors, we have no community left.
The fact that so many have reached out is indicative of how hungry we are for that sense of belonging.
It is truly a sad commentary on a country that has so much to give.
and freepers who were attacking the KFC owners...who I grew up with btw
have what to say now
man...some freepers are like dominos
