I saw him on This Morning, such a beautiful little bear. Felt so pleased for his parents to be able to bring him home after being stuck in the US for weeks without family/friends etc. They seem like genuinely lovely people too.

I opened this thinking it was a Star Trek thread... I'm rather disappointed!

RebootYourEngine · 27/02/2015 23:01

I couldnt really care less which is unusual for me as i always get so emotional when it comes to sick babies.

Think it was the money grabbing, rude cunt who put me off.

FarFromAnyRoad · 27/02/2015 23:05

Me too Reboot. Wonder if they've refunded any of the people who donated whilst not knowing the parents were lying through their teeth.

SlaggyIsland · 27/02/2015 23:05

Oh. I hoped this would be about someone's missing pet being found.

FaFoutis · 27/02/2015 23:06

i thought it was a hoover.

WorraLiberty · 27/02/2015 23:07

I thought it was about a missing pet too and then the first poster said he was a little bear?

Head fuck time Grin

ThePinkOcelot · 27/02/2015 23:08

How were the parents lying through their teeth?

TheFairyCaravan · 27/02/2015 23:12

His parents are fucking grabby and shameless.

First they went out with their begging bowl and didn't stop when they knew the insurance was covering the bill. When people offered to take stuff out, they said no, just cash. They posted on the Fb group, but never said thank you for the donations. It was even said that it was a shame Max Clifford was in jail because they could have made decent money! Hmm

Today on This Morning the dad never let his girlfriend speak and they never said thank you for the donations and didn't even mention it. Absolutely grabby, self important people imo.

Methe · 27/02/2015 23:14

Having had 2 prems myself I'm happy for the little boy, I glad he's doing well.

I hope his parents refunded the money.

FarFromAnyRoad · 27/02/2015 23:16

Exactly Fairy. The whole thing was a scam from start to finish. The insurance paid up and that should have been an end to it. They weren't exactly a pair of paupers who'd found themselves unexpectedly stranded in New York were they! They turned down every single offer of help that wasn't cold hard cash. Dreadful people.

TheFairyCaravan · 27/02/2015 23:20

He was a complete prick on TM today. She was trying to say what she was feeling and he kept talking over the top of her.

I bet they gave hardly any money to the Ronald McDonald House.

JoanHickson · 27/02/2015 23:28

I felt sorry for the Mum, she didn't get a chance to speak. I would have preferred to hear Mum speak as Dad wasn't easy to understand. I think he shouts when people say they can't make out what he says rather that attend speech therapy

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 27/02/2015 23:33

I thought it was a dog. A dachshund.

fluffymouse · 28/02/2015 00:45

The Facebook group has a conspicuous lack of information about what has been done with the donated money.

Now all of them are back in the uk, and dad is back at work, should they not either return the not needed funds to donors, or donate to Ronald MacDonald house?

DianeLockhart · 28/02/2015 01:03

The parents are absolute scum

SurlyCue · 28/02/2015 01:17

I remember reading about this couple. What was the reason for them being on TM?

natureplantar101 · 28/02/2015 02:38

Why on earth would you name a child Dax ? that isnt a name or an actual word. at least he can use all this ill gotten money when he is older and cant get an employer to look at his CV because his parents named him Dax.

Coumarin · 28/02/2015 02:44

Dax is a dogs name.

Disappointed this isn't about a lost and found dog.

Coumarin · 28/02/2015 02:45

Glad the baby is well. The parents need to get their priorities straight. Appearing in TM ffs. Go home and look after your baby you selfish arses.

steff13 · 28/02/2015 02:46

Dax Shepherd is an actor. Oh, and Shepherd is a dog, too! He's married to Kristen Bell.

OldFarticus · 28/02/2015 07:38

Pretty sure I read that they have given all the donations to RM House.

But they are still a pair of grabby cunts, and he came across as a massive twat on TM.

CharityD · 28/02/2015 08:03

Glad the little baby is doing well, i had read somewhere that he was back home.

I didn't see them on tv, but I would say the dad, in particular, intends to milk this for every last bit of 'fame' and publicity that he can get.

fluffymouse · 28/02/2015 08:52

oldfarticus after a lo of criticism, and receiving over 10,000 in donations, they asked for further donations to be given to ronald MacDonald. It is still a mystery what was done with the original money, which was donated to help with medical expenses, which they don't have thanks to the insurance company covering everything.

londonrach · 28/02/2015 08:54

Poor kid being stuck with those parents.
