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.

Tricky dicky just messaged me on facebook, he is reading this thread, just like I predicted.

onadifferentplanet · 07/04/2015 20:01

Horrified though not totally surprised by the pm. Has anyone actually contacted the papers about this?

forago · 07/04/2015 20:01

pm please :) can't believe these chances are still going

icelollycraving · 07/04/2015 20:02

Spud,could I have a pm if you have a moment. Please nicely.

shewept · 07/04/2015 20:03

spud is he really? That's excellent. Have to wonder though, if he thinks he was completely in the right why is he monitoring mumsnet?

Since trickydicky is reading this, I'll post the PM.

I threatened them with police and legal action legal action if they didn't donate to RMCH within 48 hours. He replied with 'wow' and said 'don't wait, do it now'. What a bastard.

I need the support of everyone who is willing, to email DM, Mirror etc, email their local police and have this scumbag brought to justice.

Could I please have a pm?

cedricsneer · 07/04/2015 20:10

I'm in. I will email anyone who will hopefully listen. Funny comments on their latest post with plenty of people asking very nicely when they plan on making the donation. People are on it...

43percentburnt · 07/04/2015 20:11

Followed the last thread. I Can't believe the parents have not donated every penny to charity. Either Ronald or a prem baby charity to give other parents and babies hope. Are they hoping the hype dies down leaving them with several grand in the bank?

spudholes · 07/04/2015 20:12

He just messaged me again, sounds like tricky dicky is getting worried.

He just told me he loves winding me up... How old is that inbred twat again?

cedricsneer · 07/04/2015 20:14

Lurkers unite and say your piece so that td knows how many people are outraged by this bullshit.

fluffymouse · 07/04/2015 20:17

Cross post with you spud. He said they have donated now, but no mention of how much. Did he tell you how much has been donated?

shewept · 07/04/2015 20:17

I am in. He looked in his 50s to me. Simple fact is that he thought he would get loads of publicity for him gym, although I couldn't tell you the name of it. But it was badly done. Came up with a load of desperate reasons they needed money before the insurance company had chance to fart. Kept having to change what he wanted the money for and strangely, he was kept out of the loop. Because I knew the insurance company was paying up before he did.

I wondered at the time, why her mum publicly objected to him doing this at the time. Now I know.

DancingDays · 07/04/2015 20:17

while your here could I just ask, why have you set up a new page for your gym. Trying to distance yourself as well?

shewept · 07/04/2015 20:19

I'll wait for the charity to confirm that and the amount before I believe it. Earlier it was going to be donated next week, but all of a sudden tonight?

Wonder if they had a whip round in the gym to top the amount up?

You would think he'd have plenty of other things to do to keep him occupied.

BiggerYellowTaxi · 07/04/2015 20:23

Oh dear, I think I would like a pm as well. I've tried to resist but can't!

spudholes · 07/04/2015 20:24

They haven't donated, nothing has been posted.

shewept · 07/04/2015 20:25

I didn't see an interview (although its possible) she posted several times on the fb page in the first day. Then (I don't know this as fact) she was blocked. Tricky even responded to her, didn't you tricky? [waves]

She was wanting to know what was going on and why he was deciding what the funds were for and why he had decided that her father should be flown out (at this time the flight was coming out of the go fund me page) Said she felt completely pushed out by Tricky and felt he was overstepping the line by making decisions he shouldn't have been. I think she actually felt no one should be getting a free flight out, that money raised should be donated or direct to Daxs parents for then to decide what to do. Rather than leaving Tricky in control.

Disgusting, always thought it was a scam, greedy bastards.
