64. OMFG and Big Joe are right... Get the dumb lying bitch back to her country. SHe dosnt belong here. And WOW I cant believe that she is such a stupid lying whore that would think its ok to lie about something like that and think its ok. Listen lady.. Better back your bag or hope your green card is in order cuz were going to make sure to drive you the hell out of here. Maybe its ok to be a dumb bitch in your country and lie. Its what your teaching your kids. And its people like her that have the whole immigration thing in a total tail spin. STUPID WHORE... GO BACK HOME...

66. Shouldn't the perpetrators be charged with fraud? The prize amounts to a felonious crime.

67. "Priscilla Ceballos, the mother of the young girl"

Ceballos, eh. Let me leave that alone, because anything I say is going to p.o. some folks. Anyway, I scent a long family history of liars lying to get what they want. Also, HELL NO, the family should not be allowed to keep the tickets. Who's to say the 6 year old even wrote any of that? The mother said 'we do essays all the time', not 'my daughter writes essays all the time'. The mother wrote all that. This family is a pack of piranhas. Nice family skills. Go to jail.

Since they won't, for all the scams they've undoubtedly pulled and not been caught at, the tickets should go to a family whose kid really wrote an essay, whose kid is being truthful. And instead of choosing from the best sob story, why not choose the essay which best explains how much a kid is inspired by Hannah Montana. Choose the kid who's going to organize a Hanna Montana night for some homeless kids in the neighborhood. Something positive, not schmaltzy.

68. According to the laws here in the midwest., that is considered FRAUD... The mother who wrote the fake letter using a death which never occured as the stroy line, that is considered a fraudlent claim and that being said a class 4 felony. IF she lived here she would be arrested and treated just like a child molester or a bank robber. She should have thought this thru a bit better. She will face SOME sort of claim. What she did basically was lie about a death. That is Illegal in ANY state.

70. what is wrong with all of you?...it's bad enough kids have to be forced to put words down on paper...now you're condemning this girl for doing what we want kids to do...when I was in 8th grade I had to be in an environmental disaster debate...I got stuck playing the role of an environmental activist...I didn't believe everything I was saying, but in order to win the debate I did my best to convince the audience to be on my side...so you see, ignorant people, that sometimes lying is okay, and this girl fully deserves backstage passes now!

71. DUDE, I dont think you get what happend here.. The kid DIDNT write the essay, the dumb bitch MOTHER wrote it and said that their father was killed in a road side bomb in the war... Well the father WASNT even in the war and the mother wrote it NOT the kid.. So I think you were mistaken about what happend....

72. Well, this doesn't surprise me. One of the things that really bugs me about ALL of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books is that 95 percent of the stories ARE MADE UP by the authors, who are, no surprise here, motivational speakers. However, the books imply that all of the stories are true. Hey, if the best-selling Chicken Soup folks can become multi-multi-multi millionaires by implying they are telling the truth, and then get away w/ it, I can see how this mom decided to come up with HER essay idea. It doesn't make it right, though!

74. Per the AP, they have revoked the prize from the child. In the newspaper today, the mother said, "we did whatever we could do to win. "What a loser, and what a great message she gave to her child.


GARLAND, Texas (AP) A 6-year-old girl who won four tickets to a Hannah Montana concert with an essay that falsely claimed her father died in Iraq won't be going to the show after all.

The contest's sponsor, Club Libby Lu, withdrew the prize on Saturday and awarded it to another unnamed winner.

``With this decision, we hope to revive the intended spirit of the contest, which was designed to make a little girl's holidays extra special,'' Club Libby Lu chief executive Mary Drolet said in a statement Saturday.

75. This story should be so unbelievable to me. Sadly, I am not surprised. I agree with all who said "revoke the tickets" and hope the AP is reporting correctly that they did. I also agree with whomever said no 6 year old should be at this or any other concert. There should have been age limits set. How very sad. How very, very sad for this child. What will her mother tell her now? She could start with the Santa Claus thing...

Sorry.
