To wonder why there has STILL been no donation?

This has probably been done, I know there was a long running thread about this very subject but I can't find it?
So, several months on I see Dax's parents have still not made the promised donation to Ronald McDonald hospice. On March 2nd they updated the Facebook page to say they works be making the donation 'very soon', but still nothing.
Am I the only one thinking they have no intention of donating any money out of the tens of thousands donated to them? That in fact they intend to keep it all and deny the very charity that provided them with so much support in the early weeks of their Childs life?
In fact, I don't think im the only one judging by the comments on the Facebook page.
I think they're hoping it will blow over and if they keep quiet long enough people will forget.

Or they're splitting up?

Or Dax is poorly?

Big fight with Richard?

That poster 'Tim hunter' has a blank fb profile. The only person defending them... Odd.

That is what I was wondering but then if it is a big reveal in papers re: donation why the selective deleting of posts and blocking of posters who have left very reasonable comment?

Cantbelievethisishappening · 12/04/2015 21:20

Actually...... look at the latest post..... the plot thickens

LilMissSunshine9 · 12/04/2015 21:22

I don't even understand what that is meant to mean is that person their cheerleader or on the side of those questioning

kewtogetin · 12/04/2015 21:22

They're splitting up, he's going to prison, he's spent all the cash....the possibilities are endless!

It comes across as the latter Lil although there could be a certain ambiguity

kewtogetin · 12/04/2015 21:24

I'd say latter. Whatever way, she knows something we don't......

Anyone feeling brave enough to post a link to this thread?

londonrach · 12/04/2015 21:26

Thats interesting....she knows something. Anyone taken screen shot?

RoseWithAThorn · 12/04/2015 21:26

As I said earlier, their silence is probably because they sold their story to one of the nationals.

kewtogetin · 12/04/2015 21:27

They're reading it anyway lyinginwait.

I thought about it earlier.

Cantbelievethisishappening · 12/04/2015 21:28

But hasn't their story been all over the press/Tv etc already Rose? It all sounds really odd

Cantbelievethisishappening · 12/04/2015 21:29

I can't as I was blocked for suggesting they divulge how much they are donating

spookyskeleton · 12/04/2015 21:29

I don't get that last post? Is she a supporter of theirs or not?

LilMissSunshine9 · 12/04/2015 21:29

hang about where did the post on the fb page going showing the cropped donation page? has it been deleted? does this mean they have done a u turn....

LilMissSunshine9 · 12/04/2015 21:30

oh no I found it ignore me

kewtogetin · 12/04/2015 21:30

They deleted it miss sunshine.

They will no doubt have sold another story to the press. I think this is probably why they've stayed silent. It's most odd that their family or friends have been on defending them.

shewept · 12/04/2015 21:31

Please tell me they aren't selling another story!

My guess would be they split because Lee spent it all (they will get back together at a later date) or they are going to say someone else has stolen the money. Or they gave it to different charities.

Tbh I won't believe anything they say, as they could gave kept the page updated. Takes two minutes.

JoanHickson · 12/04/2015 21:31

Full accounts in the press?

RoseWithAThorn · 12/04/2015 21:31

haven't defended them

londonrach · 12/04/2015 21:33

Like caroline binns last comment. X

Cantbelievethisishappening · 12/04/2015 21:34

If that's the case Rose I wonder why they can't just state that they are working with the press and all will revealed.... that way they could get people to stop mithering them

LilMissSunshine9 · 12/04/2015 21:34

If they are doing an exclusive why now? Why not last week or last month...surely its because of the sheer number of people asking where da hell the money has gone
