If you don't she was the 18 month old girl that fell into a well in her parents backyard in 1987 and was stuck there for 2 1/2 days or so until she was dramatically rescued as the world was glued to their tvs. She had to undergo several surgeries but later fully recovered and is no a stay at home mom in the same Texas town.
Well it turns out that all of the donations she recieved as a 18 month old was put in a trust that is now worth over a million dollars. A million dollars for having parents that failed to cover up a hole in their backyard. I think had I been someone who had donated money during that time that I would want my money back! It wouldn't be a problem had the money gone to help pay medical bills and surgeries, maybe even a college fund but she is getting a million dollars to do whatever she wants with because she was a klutz and had neglectful parents. Ok so calling an 18 month old a klutz is a little harsh but it is true, her motor skills must have sucked.
I am sure that some of the money of the original donations did go to medical expenses and they probably wouldn't be able to give back the extra money after that was all covered, but lets be honest falling into a well was probably the best thing that has ever happened to her. I think I too would fall in and spend 2 1/2 days in a well if I got that large a pay day from it.
It's an unfair world we live in.
