So they were not kicked out. The scars from a dog attack were real though?

The story didn’t seem possible.

KFC’s $30k is probably worth it to them. It’s not the little girl’s fault that she was bit, or that her grandmother did this.

They weren’t kicked out...they never even were in the store.

I just hope the money raised (from those that still wish it to help the little girl) is administered by a third-party trust, NOT THE FAMILY.

Summary from what I read:

They were in the hospital (feeding tube issue) on day this supposedly occurred.

No surveillance video showing them in nearby restaurants.

No orders matching described order.

Restaurant they claimed this happened in has been closed - for years.

Because kfc didn’t stand by employees, their lives have been turned upside down.

What an insane world we live in.

When are we going to stop falling for this crap? Giving the media this much power over our lives.

Oh snap. Damn if white people like that don’t give trailer trash a bad name.

That being said... I hope the little one will be helped in spite of the hoax. You can pick your nose but you can’t pick your relatives.

It is just like a large corporation to cave with an up front thirty grand even before investigating to find out if the story has any validity. The little girl was mauled by her grandfather’s dogs and now is the center of a hoax perpetuated by her grandmother.

“News” agencies do very little fact checking before running with sensational stories. Apparently the attorneys at corporations like KFC aren’t any smarter than the “journalists.”

It's unclear if Kelly Mullins would face criminal charges if found to have made up the incident.

Slander? Attempted extortion? Surely something fits.

Knew it when I HEARD it!

Just like dangling nooses, Nazi symbols cut in faces, and other so-called "threats" against people....and the media buys it all...

Thank God for a few APPARENTLY honest journalists--like the ones at this paper.
