I would live to hear a retraction from the grandmother, or a clarification about where this happened.

There isn't a KFC on State Street. So, where were they?

They were on the gravy train.

I'm thinking it was the Kentucky Fried Chicken on Meadowbrook. It's right by State Street. You're at Blair Batson, you ask where you can get something like the food she wanted.

Closest was either Church's on Woodrow, Popeye's on High Street, or Kentucky Fried Chicken on Meadowbrook.

The news stated early on it was on Meadowbrook.

It's none of Kingfish's business, nor does anybody need to know why they chose to eat where they did or where they could have gone, closer to the hospital. Are you buzzards still perplexed about the location? If you can read, you know it's on Meadowbrook, one lot east of State Street, often referred to as 'The North State KFC'.

Oh good. They can go purchase brand new pit bulls.

"gravy train"?

Let's take YOUR three-year-old, have a dog chew half her face off and tear one eyeball out - then see if it's worth $30K in a donation.

I'm sure this family would much rather have their daughter back, intact and un-traumatized, then get some money which will all get spent on back medical bills. Normal people understand that.

You are obviously not normal.

Any why can the "insurance company" get away with refusing to pay an ambulance bill after trauma? The name of the insurance company would be helpful to their cause, but the family seems too unsophisticated to realize that.

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.

Thank you for the common sense post 12:13. Where the hell is DHS in this situation. Sad to see parents like this in the gene pool. Poor kid never had a chance.

12:13 the contribution may have been to protect the major corporations image, although is was a nice gesture on Victoria's behalf.

Oops ten.
Investigators said three pit bulls attacked Victoria 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.

According to Simpson County Sheriff Kenneth Lewis, Donald Mullins was keeping 10 pit bulls at his home at the time of the attack.

Many years ago,Kentucky Fried Chicken was on North State St. just north of the Kryatal on the same side,with the sign that had the big chicken bucket. I cannot wrap my mind around the heartless action of the KFC employee who did this.There was also a KFC next to the old Redbird gas station on Canton Mart Road,about where Hickory Pit has been for years. I did hear where the Grandfather,and perhaps another family member,were charged with Reckless Endangerment for having the pitbulls that harmed this little child.

the caretakers who allowed this to happen should not be allowed to have children ever. She has to suffer for the ignorance of those charged with her safety.

Why would anyone leave their child with someone with pit bulls, TEN pit bulls, even if they are grandparents?

11:08. The Facebook page says State Strret, not Meadowbrook. If you want to tell us that the admin of her page is too stupid to know the difference, go4it

They are country folk from Simpson County. They got it wrong by one lot. Yeah, real stupid.

What a bunch of melon-heads. You sit here sipping cheap beer, chirping with yourselves over the specific postal address of the KFC joint that discriminated against the child.

Then, the the other half of you ignoramuses go off on a rabbit trail attempting to pin the blame for the whole situation on the guilty party who owned the dog(s) or the guilty party(ies) who allowed the child to go where the dogs were. What a bunch of lettuce-heads.

I suppose if I were the typical Simpson County resident, headed north for a mile or three on north state, after leaving Woodrow, and turned at Meadowbrook and immediately into KFC, I might later recall that I was at KFC on State Street. How does it feel to be a green, floating turd in life's punch bowl?

KFC was not responsible for the pit bull attack. If this in fact happened, they owe a letter of apology, nothing more. I think grandmaw hatched herself a little plan...

3:07 Yea! One of the few that understands the word alleged and the realization that KFC isn't responsible if it really happened. That would be the responsibility of an insensitivite human being. Of course the entire scenario could have been avoided.... But unfortunately only us turds grasp ten pitbulls can equal trouble.

They don't look too well educated, do they?

Had to be KFC on Woodrow Wilson. Idiots work there. Last time I went and tried to order crispy chicken the cashier said that this branch no longer makes crispy.

I called the manager and of course the lady was lying through her tooth.

First of all 30k isn't enough to cover medical bills. This child could run up a 30k Bill just after one surgery and a few days in the hospital. Second of all stop saying this isn't KFC's fault. It is, as someone commented earlier on the news thread that got me thinking, employees when on the clock represent their employer / company they work for. Their actions can make the company liable that is why they have dress codes , and employee's handbooks. Because what they do while on the company's time is a direct reflection of the company. So this idiot of a manager with their stupid remark costs KFC 30k which should be more, I think this is just hush money so they don't sue, but they need to cause now this child has a complex about her appearance, this idiot also costs the company a lot of negative PR, this idiot should be fired and we should have their name and face blasted all over the media so we can see what a heartless person look like. Because to the rest of the world , this person is below scum

Absolutely beautiful little girl. Can't believe anyone would characterize her as "scary".

I didn't notice any mention of parents... just her divorced grandparents and aunt.

It sounds like this little girl has a long, rough road ahead of her, and not just because she's disfigured. Makes me sad. :(

Matthew 9:14 - But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven. What a beautiful sweet sweet spirit this little girl is. She has suffered so many cruelity and will face even many more. But, she will one day be holding Jesus nailed scarred hands. God bless her.

I thought maybe there were only a few goonies out there who are dullard enough to deflect to the grandfather's ownership of the animals, the grandmother's appearance, the apparent absence of the parents and the county of residence.

However, the longer this thread stays up, I'm now convinced there's no limit to how large that group is. If you mix together all the residents of Rankin and Simpson and divide the average IQ by 2, you come up with this group of JJ Posters.

If this situation actually happened, it is horrible and the person who did it should be seriously ashamed. But why haven't some of the other customers come forward to say they witnessed what happened? If that many people were bothered by that precious child's face, wouldn't someone, somewhere outside this family know about it and be talking about it, too? Everyone wants their 5 minutes of fame, right?

I am always skeptical of these kinds of things that create a rush of online donations and support for families who are "victims" of some injustice. Obviously they need help, but I just hope this whole incident wasn't created just to get people to give based on a knee-jerk reaction.

We are seeing far too many of these types of viral news stories that turn out to be a manufactured injustice.

What a shame - any way you look at it! :(

What if....the girl was black and the employees in question were white ?

If THAT were the case, 10:54, there would be no coverage of McDaniels-Cochran. Every reporter in the Southeast, including CNN would be camped out at Jesse and Al's motel.

And Bill Clinton would be on his way to Tougaloo for a speech with introduction by Myrlie Evers.

Jerry Mitchell would be pushing Bill Minor's wheelchair to the rally in front of the Governor's mansion and Stokes would be standin' at the five-points cawnuh moppin' his head with a sweat-rag.

My concern is about raising money via GoFundMe which seems to be the new fad if you've had a wreck, accident, or sick. Is the money you receive taxable income? As of this morning they had raised over $100K and have changed the goal many times from $20,000 to the present goal of $200,000. Also there is no way to be sure the money goes towards its intended purpose of the little girl's medical bills. I would assume KFC would donate their money directly to Batson to be sure it went to the medical bills.

This is why I hate put bulls. I don't care if your pitbull is 'sweet'. Any Pitt comes close to my children or my pets, I kill it.

KFC has absolutely no fault in this at all. The Grandfather did not protect his granddaughter. The parents did not protect their daughter.
IF this did happen at KFC it was done by an employee and they immediately offered to offer financial assistance to the little girl without even knowing if the story hade any truth to it.
Grandma is saying that customers were complaining. AND that the KFC employee told the little girl to leave because of the complaints. No witnesses? I think there is plenty more to this story.
Bless this little girl. And kudos to KFC for immediately offering assistance. I hope she heals emotionally and physically from this tragedy.

I believe it would be easier for the family to have donations sent directly to the medical providers. Keeping track of money coming to their own personal bank, oops, I mean P.O. Box, requires numerous bank deposits, and most important, the risk of depositing checks that may clear with insufficient funds. Prayers to the sweet child!

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.

Come on folks, they do not have any insurance. They are just proud to admit it, like most from the south.
They do need some help, after the STUPID grandfather did this. and yes folks to look and long looks when someone is different. In the south they may even ask what is wrong with you! Fine if folks want to help them!

4:50- Oh how innocent you are. It's very sweet. These folks know how to play the system, and it looks like they may be doing it. If they were true to their words, about needing money for bills, they would request ALL donations be sent to the list of medical providers they have listed, including the physicans/facility physical office address. Trust me, country folk in Mississippi are NOT afraid to say they don't have insurance.

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?

Social Media can be a powerful tool, as is evidenced by all the "Causes" you see popping up on your Facebook thread every day... To include the STORY where the Grandma took her Grandaughter who had been mauled by her Grandpas Pitbulls (three of the Ten he had), to KFC, and were asked to leave because Victorias appearance was disturbing other customers!

So HER STORY is that customers in the KFC were so "disgusted" with her Grandaughters appearance that they asked the manager to ask her to leave the restaraunt!

Well, I couldn't believe that ANYONE, no matter how ass backward they may be would be so heartless, so I wasn't buying the story...

AS IT TURNS OUT, Grandma got "upset" over other CHILDREN LOOKING at her Grandaughter, SHE got up and TOLD the manager to kick them out! When the manager refused, she got further enraged, and pitched a bitch, so the Manager then asked HER to leave (not the Grandaughter, but the Grandmother)... So Grandma gets pissed and hits Social Media, with "HER STORY" - all the big hearted folks on facebook get enraged, and her little "Revenue Generating Facebook Page" goes from 250 "likes" to over 250,000 "likes" in 24 hours (and generated over $100,000.00 in donations, IN ADDITION to the $30,000.00 that KFC immediately pledged).

Yeah, Grandma is a big LIAR, but is it OK because it's for a good cause?

The "Liberal" in me wants to say "the end justifies the means" because hopefully, some of these HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS that Grandma is extorting from KFC and the big hearted public JUST MIGHT help Victoria in the long run...

Then the "Conservative" in me says "People like this are what is wrong with America, and the fact that so many "Sheeple" will immediately assume that the story is true, and "Share the shit out of" her thread of Facebook"

And when I post something to the effect that I'm not buying the story at face value, people call me heartless...

Not Heartless - just not gullible.

Grandma sees her one and only chance at the big bucks. Wonder how they will spend all that money? One can only hope the little girl and the medical providers see some of it.

The more I hear about this the more I believe it is a complete scam. No customers were questioned. No employees were questioned and the owner has not appeared.

Let's hope of the money is spent for the family's dental work.

I know we're not supposed to care about "the owners" but these guys got scammed. Start asking around, you know what's sad? The pit bull that was involved was supposed to be put down. Guess which pit bull is still roaming around the house trailer where this child still lives!

animals that are a danger to humans should be put to sleep or donated to the zoo! I am just sick of tree hugger nut jobs that put animal' lives above and beyond humans. Let a small dog get attacked and made fun of at kfc and those nuts would air it daily. if those feel the need to guard their drugs or boost their security, buy a gun and read your Bible. --responsible dog owner. P.S. for those of you that seem to be against the little girl, grow a hhhmm..... hhhhmmmmm --Heart. You insensitive bunch of -----!

Colonel Sanders would not have tolerated this. Colonel Sanders became a Christian in his elder years. I believe if someone would have treated a customer, especially a little child, this way he would pay their medical bills. other than that and an apology that should be it! some attorney has probably jumped on this bandwagon to take advantage of the opportunity and manipulated this family into doing something about it. anything beyond the medical bills is all about money and not just for the family.

oh and also if this family is on Medicaid, would these donations impact benefits? My loser sorry nephew and his wife are on Medicaid and every free subsidy they can get their hands on. when they manipulated grandma out of $ 12000 cash plus cash to pay their mortgage payments for a year (in which now they have forclosed) I contacted medicaid and the Medicaid office mgr stated that a cash gift could not be counted and would not impact their benefits. what a sorry system we have! so my question goes back to will their gov't benefits (ie if they are receiving these) be reduced?

They have to report ANY change in income to medicaid and their snap worker. I DO support the girl, yes she was attacked and injured and is deserving of support but some of the postings from her "aunt" are bs. 1. Insurance doesn't have to cover something that should be covered under a home owners policy (vicious dog attack so someone needs to go after gramps). Some policies will cover it, some won't. 2. If she is so traumatized she can't leave the house because kfc said she's ugly why was she very publicly paraded on camera to meet dr stiles - it could have been done without calling the media. 3. They have to report all this money to the irs and I hope they pay the taxes on it. 4. Kfc found NO proof the incident happened and have hired a 3rd party to do an investigation. Its not cheap and its an odd thing to do if you are guilty. And not a single witness has come forward that isn't a family member?? 5. Where are all these do gooders for kids who aren't famous??? I see kids and teens daily when I go to chemotherapy - families with nothing left after paying bills, kids disfigured in accidents beyond what a fancy plastic surgeon can do. 6. Are humans these days so dumb they will give away money to a stranger with NO proof and boycott an orgaanization because a granny says something happened (but can't prove it.) I am not heartless, I've helped many charities - but I am also not an idiot.
