i over heard on the tv today that this girl submitted an essay to win hannah montana tickets. she said her father had died in iraq by a road side bomb that went off and she got the royal treatment. when talking to her mother she had said the girls father was alive and living in another city. that girl must love hannah montana to lie about something like this. If one of your kids did this what would you do? would you punish them or if the company that was giving them away still gave them to your kid would you taken them away and not let her go?

It was probably her mothers idea. Some people just dont care about being honest or who they affect with their actions.

she was the one that told the news media that her father was alive and lived in another city.

This is sick, but then it reflects society also and maybe the girl had a lot of peer pressure there is no excuse for it. I wouldn't let the girl go to the concert at all and she would be grounded indefinately. I wonder how old the girl is and what she feels about it now it is out in the open. Did she really think she would get away with this or did she do it for the publicity? How embarrassing for the mother to have to put up with people knowing about this.

Wow, I dont know what i would do in this situation. If i refused to let that kid go she would probably hate me till the end of time. But if i was to let her go, that is sort of like telling her that its ok to lie to get things you want. I dont think that i could let the kid go, i think that it would just be wrong. I think i would give the tickets back from where ever she won them from and have them pick another girl to go. It would just not be rght to let her go after she lied to get them.

I think if I was in this mothers shoes and she still got the tickets than I would take them from her and give them away to someone else I knew that really wanted to go but maybe could not afford them.

I would be so embarassed and no way would I let my child go. I would have some sort of fundraiser for the ticket and donate the money to kids who have lost parents in Iraq. Sounds like she wasn't so smart to think she wouldn't get caught.

If my child did this I would be irrate. Not only would she NOT go to the concert, she would return the tickets, apologize to the company and personally write each person that was in the contest and apologize to each personally. Then she would be grounded for a very very long time.

I just can not believe this story as it is being told. I feel every time the story is told they are keeping some information out. Maybe for shock value or what ever they call it when doing a story. The child is six years old. There is no way she wrote that story on her own. Or either she is not six years old. If she didn't write it on her own then obviously someone helped her in more ways then one. I am also assuming she didn't come up with the lie on her own then the person who helped her would say something about the fact she was lying and teach her right! If it was the mother who helped her daughter write this story and make up the lies then how discusting is she that she is not taking responsibility for it on public television letting her daughter shoulder all the crap.

i had just heard about it when i posted this. but thier is a video on it on the yahoo homepage where the news stuff is at the top. i guess the mother wrote it. and the grandmother when the media came to talk to her said that the girls father is alive and living in another town. so no one was gonna come forward in this.

I cant believe a child would do something like this. Thats absolutely horrible. If my child did that they would be in a LOT of trouble. If they won something out of it i definitely would not let them participate in it. That would definitely have to be part of their punishment. If she was my daughter i would make her give the tickets away.

that is a horrible thing to say just to win tickets for something. it shows a great disrespect to people who have actually lost family members in Iraq, aswell as her father. maybe if she knew what it was to be in Iraq maybe she wouldn't say things like that.

i think for that specific lie i would not let the kid go to the concert.. instead i would sell the tickets and donate it to a charity that helps victims and families of war so my kid could learn about what they were lying about and how others might feel on that topic.. had the lie been something else though.. maybe something more on the clever side than the give me pity side, i may allow their wiley trick slide.. but ya this specific lie was a bit much and that girl shouldnt have got anything but a smack in the back of the head and made to publicly apologize perhaps on the same radio station she scammed..
