Don't let one jacked up family ruin it for the other 500 that came through your haunt Monday! I did see some 'transported' kids that had alot of integrity. It makes you wonder if the trip to the ER was a ruse to score some pain meds?

NOW, on a comedic note, If you were handing out the good candy, this wouldn't have happened, in fact the woman said she would settle out of court for a Butterfinger! But if you fight it she will probably just get a DUM-DUM

We got your back bro!
LOL! THanks Dave! Appreciate it.
How were your numbers btw? Your place looked awesome and after the write-up in the paper I'm betting you got slammed!

Jerry,

Sorry to hear about your situation. I think you also have to add in the fact that you had a fantastic sign out front with a 'Bite Hazard' warning on it with a bitten hand pictured. Sounds awfully coincidental that this kid just happens to get bitten on the hand.

Just remember the other 499 people that went through and the wonderful time they had. You had a great setup with wonderful scenes. a lot of time and effort went into your haunt. I'm sorry this has dampened your enthusiasm somewhat. You guys seemed absolutely stoked on Sunday night. After meeting your son and seeing the passion he has for haunting I sure hope this hasn't dampened his as well.

Keep the faith and if there's anything I can do just let me know.

Sorry to hear you have to even remotely deal with such a situation. This woman sounds like someone who will bite her kid's hand just to "prove" it happened at your house.

The burden of proof falls on the mother.

Got your back INDEED! Seems like this type of thing happens to someone each year.

Like Gonferal said, the burden of proof falls to the mother. You have witnesses who saw the boy come out & tell you that he fell, & if they do/did take the child to the ER, the Dr. could easily tell he hadn't been bitten.
Hope all goes well.

Toters, after calcualting the single pieces of candy given to un costumed people, I would say a little past 400. Most were from the same neck of the woods as your tyrant, and bussed in. Most people that saw write up checked it out the week prior!

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Let's all just hope nothing comes of it. I doubt she'd take it all the way to court, she might just be trying for a quick before court settlement.

Hmmm, big SUV driving, litigous SOB looking to capitalize on your hard work and effort of having fun and pleasing everyone. She sounds like a real sweetheart of a mother. Sorry to here about that one Jdubbya. Shrug it off and don't worry to much about it. She's an idiot.
