The website does make sad reading now. However i suspect they get away with it as no charity laws have been broken. Poor dax

That dm article linked to is appalling full of spelling and grammar errors. (My posts might be but I'm not paid by a national newspaper).

Such a shame that they haven't just posted a screen shot of the just giving page and cleared it all up in one simple pic.

It appears obvious they can't post a screenshot of the donation because it is so pitiful. If they had made a fair donation they would be boastingshouting from the rooftops.

LineRunner · 16/04/2015 18:26

How much did they give?

SunshineBossaNova · 16/04/2015 18:32

I think they've bunged over a small donation. I notice they're no longer deleting posts on the FB page.

Chippednailvarnish · 16/04/2015 18:35

Probably £4.50!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 16/04/2015 18:36

I guess that as far as they are concerned the matter is now closed....

facedontfit · 16/04/2015 18:39

I doubt they were that generous Chipped

Chippednailvarnish · 16/04/2015 18:42

Less traveling expenses!

DancingDays · 16/04/2015 18:45

Just place marking.

Cantbelievethisishappening · 16/04/2015 18:51

I am really surprised that no press have done a follow up on this story given the amount of media attention it had. They were on TV ffs

If anyone wants to make a quick buck you now know how Hmm

CheapTrickster · 16/04/2015 18:52

They have deleted all posts regarding the donation they made so now it looks like they just haven't given anything!

With no statement on the situation!!!! Its very strange, why not just take down the Facebook page?

2MuchLoveWillKillYou · 16/04/2015 18:53

Did anyone tried to tweet rmh? Maybe they will respond quicker

TheFairyCaravan · 16/04/2015 18:55

They haven't given anymore than a tenner is my bet. I don't understand why no one from the mainstream press has picked up the story. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

RebootYourEngine · 16/04/2015 18:55

I would like to know why the newspapers arent getting involved with this. Something dodgy has gone on & the press dont want to talk about it.

CheapTrickster · 16/04/2015 19:00

Maybe cos the media give them air time to sell their scam?

TheFairyCaravan · 16/04/2015 19:08

The media gave them air time to sell their scam so IMO now they should be showing the fallout from it. If only to show it as a warning to others in the future.

londonrach · 16/04/2015 20:00

Can anything be done or just let them get away with scam... Poor dax

DeeCayed · 16/04/2015 20:18

I don't know how they dare tbh but I think they've justified their actions in their own heads by saying that people donated to Dax and the parents so they can spend the money guilt free whereas in reality some people donated to the family but lots of others donated to the charity and expect RMH to have a donation.

albertcamus · 16/04/2015 20:56

The irony of this is that there is a weird 'sympathy for the Devil' mentality in the UK which seems to allow & virtually condone this type of advantage-taking.

RMH users are infinitely more deserving than L & K's need for new clothes, but shallowness has prevailed in this case.

I'm glad we're challenging it, but I'm not holding my breath that they'll end up donating :(

KenDoddsDadsDog · 16/04/2015 20:58

In other news , the disabled man who was attacked moved into his new home today. Money raised and spent wisely.

MyArksNotReady · 16/04/2015 20:59

CheapTrickster · 16/04/2015 21:42

I would like to know why none of their friends or family have not commented on these threads or their Facebook page? Someone must know something but how can they keep them all from not posting? That is the thing I find very creepy.

ButchCassidy · 17/04/2015 00:07

Just marking my place and hoping that a reporter picks up this story and exposes them.

fluffymouse · 17/04/2015 00:08

Marking my place on the new thread
