A mother of a little girl wrote on Facebook that the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant on North State Street asked the family to leave because "her face scared the other diners." The girl was the victim of a vicious pit bull attack in Simpson County. The attack left her face severely injured and scarred. The motherlater posted that a representative of the restaurant chain asked her for more information after she published her Facebook post. The Facebook posts are below. Family could probably use some help, hint, hint. While y'all are writing checks to campaigns and PACs, perhaps you could remember this little girl.

How can the insurance company refuse to pay for medications or her feeding tube and nutrition? I thought Obamacare was going to eliminate all those problems .
I can answer that...the insurance company is MOST LIKELY blue cross blue shield. They find every reason under the sun to deny paying any claim, even lied about notification when a doctor has proof of notification. BCBS also rarely will cover a brand name medicine like for instance Lyrica, Naftin, Tribenzor, Crestor, etc., while BCBS of Louisiana has no problem covering those drugs. The corruption in this state is systemic, everywhere at the TOP!!! The bad news is there is no regulator or law enforcement agency who will enforce existing statutes. I would try WLBT-On-Your-Side; they seem to be able to occasionaly get some results.
How can we donate money for this little girl's medical treatment?

Ban. Pit. Bulls. Now.
Only. A. Selfish. Idiot. Would. Own. One.
Obama care is a joke!!! There is nothing affordable about this insurance ! People think we want to repeal it because of a black president ! That is not true! We want it done away with because if you read the fine print you will see that the insurance isn't worth a dime! You are running around happy that you pay under $1 a month for insurance but you have a ductable of $8,000 then your insurance will only cover up to like $2,000 a calander year and many services aren't available to you.
What about suing the ass off of KFC?
Where is Jesse Jackson when we need h.....wait; I just saw her picture.
Someone was ugly to me and my child today. Where's my check?
What happened was awful. Albeit avoidable and her own family's fault. Where's my check???

The one on Meadowbrook is close to State street vandalism if you were from out of town, you might not have realized the mistake
Pit. Bulls. Suck.
6:23 and 6:25 are beyond reprehensible. You obviously don't have children or grandchildren. Neither of you watch the news, but if you had, you'd have seen it's the one at Meadowbrook and State. They were asked to leave by the manager who said the three year old's appearance was frightening other patrons. Just take a swinging-D guess at who the other patrons are at that location. I wouldn't stop there if the damned wings were FREE. Talk about frightened.
8:01. Pearl and the brothers clearly don't read this site.
6:23 & 6:25 PM.. It really hurts my heart to see such a sweet innocent child hurt like that. But, to compound the hurt by insensitive adults is very cold blooded akin to a lizard. I wish someone would stick you face in a meat grinder and than you go out in public with the scars and see how well your psyche holds up. What a brave little girl! KFC really SUCK! Henceforth I'm boycotting KFC.
Front page Clarion today.
'KFC officials are investigating'.
Here's the solution: This restaurant donates all profits for a six month period to the child's medical care or education.
Of course management will give the offending employee a neutral employment verification reference so they join the management team around the corner at Krystal.
I sent the news article from WAPT to CNN & USA Today. Maybe, it will go national.
10:44 you're a racist.
Comments are alleged. To date unproven. This is about money folks nothing else.
KF suggested a charitable donation. I didn't seen anything where the family was asking for money (except that web page, to cover medical expenses). I don't see anything where they are threatening to shake down KFC a la Jesse or Reverend Al. They just want people to know what turds KFC employs as mangers, and how they treat customers who have already suffered greatly.
Alleged comments. Unproven. Until it is proven why should KFC have to do anything? Why did the family own three pitbulls? Dogs that are notorious for attacking people. Go back to the beginning this happened because if irresponsibility on the part of the family. It is very very sad but why should anyone be held accountable for their stupidity.
You can't change the past. But, You control you own actions. So all the Anonymous comments think it is a shakedown. Well, Put yourself in the child shoes. Thinks while she grows up all the stares bullying mean comments she I repeat she will endure. The parents are trying to protect her as best they can from this cruel world.
There is no proof that this even happened. All KFC's have security cameras that cover the entire dining room. Therefore, it can be easily proven. Sounds like it is probably a scam to get KFC to pay or to garner sympathy and contributions. I note that KFC does not own pit bulls - her guardians are guilty of that.
Nutjob said: "Until it is proven why should KFC have to do anything? Why did the family own three pitbulls? Dogs that are notorious for attacking people. Go back to the beginning this happened because if irresponsibility on the part of the family."
If that isn't an Obama blame Bush post I've never seen one. It's her own fault because a family member (grandfather) owned pits. Another Obama likeness is suggesting that as long as KFC denies wrongdoing, there is no accountability to be had. "We are still investigating"....Bengazi?
If the action claimed had not happened, KFC would have said so long before now. It would take about three hours for one of their 'educated' district managers to descend on the place, review 'Dining Room' video, talk to the staff and conclude it was a hoax.
But, what the hell...the child only needs one good eye anyway, right?
What do Obama bush and Benghazi have to do with this? Silly post. So having pitbulls is ok bc if they attack someone it's not your fault guess if you keep a gun at home and someone gets shot it's not your fault. So whose fault is it this little girl was attacked and put in the position she is in? People walking around everyday in much worse shape and disfigured..do you ever hear about anyone saying something cruel in a public restaurant? This never happened. Sympathy equals money.
Whomever "owned" the pit bulls should have been arrested. They were obviously not properly restrained. Her relatives caused the little girl to be injured not the rest of us.

---------------------------
Totally incorrect. KFC is carefully investigating so that there is no PR slip-up. Coming down hard on the "victim" would be nightmare publicity-wise. They are waiting for the emotion and knee-jerk reactions to die down. Then, they will at the appropriate time isshe the findings. I doubt anything happened.
Pit bulls should be exterminated. A blight on civilization, and only those mentally and physicaly challenged EVER own them (can you say small pe***. )??
The child's parents are told to take her out of a restaurant (and I use that term very loosely)and instead of being outraged at the bonehead employee that did this some of you use it as an opportunity to attack the family and the dog. You are not going to accomplish anything by doing that except show everyone your lack of intelligence. This is about the innocent child not about anything else. Kingfish posted a notice that said I can't call you idiots or tell you to STFU, so I won't do that!
"Pit bulls should be exterminated. A blight on civilization, and only those mentally and physicaly challenged EVER own them (can you say small pe***. )??"June 14, 2014 at 7:04 PM
Yes, undersized units explain a lot of Pit Bull ownership. But then, there are plenty of "people" who own them, who have oversized units, but tiny brains. Of course, there are plenty of Wigglebutt owners who got short-changed in BOTH departments. They call those people 'White Trash'.
And for a lot of Pittie owners, I suspect that the dogs are stand-ins for the kind of humans those people wish were their significant others. The dogs are sleek and muscular, and ever so "loving" (when they're not busy eating toddlers' eyeballs out of their skulls).
I went to the linked article last night, and read the comments. Some ugly skanks were vigorously defending 'Pitties' against all reason. One had a scrawny, scraggly, impotent-looking husband. She went on to tell about all the bully breeds she'd owned, and how much she loved them.
When I read that, the scene in 'Bastard out of Carolina', where the mother of the little girl who'd just survived another rape/beatdown at the hands of her stepfather, said, "No woman should have to choose between her child and her lover." That "mother" chose her lover over her child. And Pit Bull owners seem to choose their 'Pitties' over the welfare of their children, their neighbors, and even over their own probable best interests. That's because those dogs are SURROGATE LOVERS for them. I don't mean they're doing the nasty with the dogs. But it's a low-budget way to have a very intense 'relationship' with 'someone' lean and muscular.
There is NO proof that any employee did anything. No other patrons in the restaurant have come forward. Those family members don't look members of the professional community to me.
If this child and grandmother were black, the conversation and atmosphere would be entirely different.
But, anyway, why do we need the Americans With Disabilities Act to offer protection to disabled people? Hell, it ain't my fault they're disabled. It's all about money and blue placards to hang from mirrors, after all.
And speaking of stupid analogies, what the hell difference does it make how or why she was attacked or why she is disfigured? Try to keep up with the flow of the conversation, not how many teeth her grandparents have.
Has Jesse landed in Madison yet?
6:25 your comments make absolutely no sense.
When asked to donate money for medical expenses, families of victims never ask that donations be paid directly to the healthcare providers or hospital. Why? In the case of a poor prescription plan, how about sending money directly to their pharmacy in the vicims name. Who manages the proceeds sent to a bank? If this incident played out as the family states, all involved need to be fired! God bless that precious, beautiful little girl!!
I can almost guarantee this is fake they are from simpson co. and found their way to a kfc on state st that doesnt/no longer exists. jackson is an easy target good for rousing emotions and sympathy for victims. childrens hospital is on woodrow wilson.
1:12 Batson is part of UMMC, at the corner of State Street and Woodrow Wilson. Those fast food places on/off State Street closer to downtown are the closest lunch places, and visitors/patients from Batson are frequently directed to that area for convenience. There is a KFC in that neighborhood opposite Baptist hospital.
That KFC hasn't been there for two years. It was torn down for The Belhaven Building at Baptist.

7:25; What about the 6:25 post makes no sense to you? Let me help:
"If this child and grandmother were black, the conversation and atmosphere would be entirely different."
That sentence is a matter of fact. Do you have trouble comprehending it?
"But, anyway, why do we need the Americans With Disabilities Act to offer protection to disabled people? Hell, it ain't my fault they're disabled. It's all about money and blue placards to hang from mirrors, after all."
That comment was sarcasm, based on the fools (above) who claim it's not their fault the girl was mauled and we need to just move on. Do you have trouble connecting dots?
"And speaking of stupid analogies, what the hell difference does it make how or why she was attacked or why she is disfigured? Try to keep up with the flow of the conversation, not how many teeth her grandparents have."
That comment was directed at the low lifes who analyzed this event in light of the fact that a relative's dogs attacked the girl (so it's her fault) and the grandmother's appeal (she looked sorta like a hick so this must be a ploy) and the fact that the grandfather owned the dogs. I know this one probably lost you in the weeds.
"Has Jesse landed in Madison yet?"
If you need an explanation of that one, you need to be reading Thad-Politics anyway.
Some of you GPS-School dropouts are lost in the shuffle, still trying to figure out where the KFC is. One was leveled awhile back, but it's a mile or so to the SOUTH of Children's Hospital. The fine dining restaurant where this took place is often referred to as being on North State since it's roughly at the corner of State and Meadowbrook.
To put this in perspective for you geniuses, Hooters is not actually on Interstate 55 either. It's on the Frontage Road. And Cracker Barrel in Pearl is not literally on I-20 either. See how this shit works?
4:55 has way to much time on his/her hands.
I think we can all agree that 6:25 4:48 is a long winded nonsensical sort.
6/16 @ 5:01 - I couldn't have said it better myself. I see someone has already linked the news story that KFC is donating $30K regardless of what their investigation finds........
Just to break this down. If the ALLEGED comments were true, a major corporation is held responsible for an insensitive employees actions. The child in question is an innocent victim of stupid ass grandparents decision to have three dangerous dogs on their property. Now the major corporation will give stupid ass family $30,000. Family continues to get untold amount of $ from do good- ers. Maybe they will go purchase more pitbulls.
4:55 What are you talking about????
Kingfish @ 7:50 a.m. and 7:54 a.m.
Nope. I don't do that. And you or Shadowfax has yet to show any proof or evidence whatsoever I do it. Know why? You can't. Because I don't comment under other names.
11:19 don't be blaming Kingfish that lots of folks on here wonder what you smoke while you type.
4:55 laid it out fairly well, even for the gin and 'coke' crowd. lol.
I have witnessed people that know the family say that KFC never asked them to leave because of Victoria. The grandmother was upset, because children dining there were staring at the little girl. The grandmother got upset and went and told the manager to make the people making her uncomfortable leave. The manager told her she wouldn't so the grandma went off. She made a scene and so the manager asked the GRANDMA to leave, never mentioning the girls scars. I guess Grandma was mad and went and spewed this false story to many media outlets. And you're right. Their goal last night was 100,000. After they surpassed this goal, the uped it to 200,000. They also have a paid vacation to Disney, supposively.
Children were ugly to Victoria in KFC. Children are mean sometimes. Grandma made a scene. Grandma was asked to leave. Grandma posts that Victoria was asked to leave. Grandma raises go fund me from 20,000 to 200,000. Grandma seeks an attorney. Grandma shooting to be a millionaire. Someone was mean to me today. Where's my check?
I didn't read all the comments above. I just skimmed through so don't call me an idiot if I repeat anything that's already been stated, but I would just like to say that I live 15 minutes from the family of the little girl and know SEVERAL people that are close with the family and they all claim that this story is completely false! The grandmother got them kicked out for causing a scene, had nothing to do with Victoria's face at all. I would also like to state that a family member of Victoria's confirmed to me that Victoria is on Medicaid. With that being said, MOST if not all of her medical bills are paid for. However, the family is not making that known because they're still getting money for Victoria's GoFund. I've heard that there were surveillance videos from that day in KFC and the family has not been spotted on the video at all. That has not been confirmed by anybody just strictly something that I've heard. Also, the grandfather who owned the pit bulls has had the cops called to his house many times and one time, for certain, was for dog fighting. That came from a sheriff deputy of our county. Im not for or against pit bulls at all, just stating that the grandfather had gotten in trouble for dog fighting previously.
