Rick Moran "The heart tugging story about a 3 year old Victoria Wilcher, who was told to leave a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant because the sight of injuries she received in a dog attack in April bothered customers, is a hoax.
"Kelly Mullins, the girl's grandmother, raised $135,000 when the supposed incident went viral and was covered by national media. A doctor from Las Vegas flew in and pledged to donate his time to perform the surgeries. The KFC managers and employees got death threats and suffered other indignities.
"But Mullins made the whole thing up." ...
... "An interesting exercise in the power of social media and a reminder that Americans will usually fall for a sob story."
