Kentucky Fried Chicken says it did not oust disfigured child

Back in May, a 3-year-old girl disfigured by a pit bull attack was asked to leave a KFC restaurant because her facial scars disturbed other customers. The story went viral, and was used in a successful Facebook fund-raising campaign by the girl’s family. People donated more than 135,000 as well as gifts and offers from surgeons.

KFC has completed an internal investigation and has determined the story is a hoax.
