Three-year old girl asked to leave KFC Restaurant....

kittymomNC — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 00:09:12 GMT

In Jackson MS, a little girl who had been attacked by three pit bulls, lost her right eye and had the right side of her face paralyzed, was asked to leave a KFC Restaurant because her face was "disrupting the customers". She wore a patch over her eye area, and had a beautiful face and a beautiful smile. It went out on social media, and KFC has apologized and is investigating the incident. They said that kind of action would not be tolerated, and that no matter what their investigation finds, they are donating $30,000 to the child for her medical bills.

If a restaurant employee did tell them to leave, I hope they were fired immediately. They should never be allowed to work in that kind of environment again.

Is there any proof that this happened? I read KFC is investigating. Who's investigating how this child was allowed to be mauled by pit bulls at her grandfather's home?

The attack happened in April while Victoria was visiting her grandfather's mobile home in Simpson County, Mississippi. Three pit bulls burst into the home and mauled Victoria, covering her body with injuries head to toe. Victoria's grandfather, Donald Mullins, fatally shot two of the dogs, WAPT reports. Mullins and his girlfriend, Rita Tompkins, were later arrested on child endangerment charges.

I just saw this on our local news tonight...They were interviewing the grandmother and she stated that her and her granddaughter were asked to leave KFC as her granddaughter's appearance was making it difficult for the other customers....I just can't imagine something like this happening!....It was also mentioned that KFC is offering $30,000 to cover medical expenses for the granddaughter.

Don't put the little girl through this.....just use the drive thru for a while. It would be a non-issue. SMH.

I don't think the girl should have to hide because she was brutally maimed by dogs. What if her appearance is always like this? Should she have to hide all her life? There are many people who probably do just that. The problem is not theirs......it's all the idiot gawkers.

First I heard of it. Some people don't have the time nor the desire to stay glued to their computers 24/7.

It's actually the first I've heard of it as well. Even if it weren't...... I don't think I'd chastise the OP for posting about it.

You can't be serious!...Why should this little girl have to practically hide herself due to her injuries?...What about so many people who have disabilities?...Should they all go through ""drive-thru"" also?!....Your reply sounds so heartless and insensitive!

OMG, that hurts my heart. That little girl survived a vicious attack by dogs, but couldn't escape the viciousness of humans.

Were there any witnesses or are they just talking the grandmother's word?

Nothing was mentioned about witnesses...and I would also be interested in knowing if KFC has actually made an official statement about this?

I don't go to restaurants to gawk at other diners. I can't imagine how low someone would have to be to complain to the server, or the server not tell them to have some respect and if they don't like how the little girl looks, they should leave and take their bigotry with them.

However, for every "this bad thing allegedly happened in a restaurant" story, there seems to be another shortly thereafter totally debunking it as malicious mischief. I'm waiting to see how this one plays out.

In her pictures, even with her injuries, she's adorable! I can't imagine anyone being bothered by how she looks...they would have to be totally heartless. I know that this story hasn't been proven yet, but the grandmother seems very sincere in what she said, and how Victoria is acting now as opposed to how she was before the incident. She said she was never shy with people, but now she will speak to other children but she won't talk to grownups.

So the jury is out on whether someone at KFC is guilty...I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

KFC posted an apology the next morning, requesting details.

"As soon as we were notified of this report on Friday, we immediately began an investigation, as this kind of hurtful and disrespectful action would not be tolerated by KFC," spokesman Rick Maynard wrote Sunday in an email to The Associated Press. "Regardless of the outcome of our investigation, we have apologized to Victoria's family and are committed to assisting them. The company is making a $30,000 donation to assist with her medical bills. The entire KFC family is behind Victoria."
