Statement posted by RMH

Why don't you just report it to the police?

Because there was no crime but some posters seem to be incensed that a family haven't done what they've been told by Mumsnet

Ah - a super sleuth thread

Go to the police

They are deleting comments again, I've just left one that I'm sure will be deleted.

Right so who paid the medical bills and how many donations did they receive?

The insurance paid the medical bills and people guesstimated that they'd received 20k. They always said maybe the insurance wouldn't pay. Then they were pushed into agreeing to donate the rest.
Tbh these threads have turned me from thinking its up to people what they do/donate to and not something I'd do, to wondering what is wrong with some of the posters trawling through the FB pages of a new family, bitching about Richards pictures of his girlfriend (found by trawling) , slating the dads appearance and voice, insinuating he's controlling, and going round in circles with a poor understanding of the law but a desperate desire to see them 'punished'.

vile couple - fell sorry for the kid with the stupid name

feel - not fell

LOVE

noooo.... MsHoover, Mumsnet didnt tell them what to do, they posted on Facebook and the people there told them they were disgusted with their grabby greedy ways and THEY promised to make a sizable donation..... and guess what...

they fucking lied

But they 'confirmed' that they will be making a donation 'in the near future' - they said this weeks ago. They are total fucking liars, it would take a few clicks of a mouse to donate, they are not going to do it.

If they had no intention of donating they should have just said, 'we spent it all, sorry. It was a difficult time and we needed new designer coats and undies to get us through'. At least that would have been honest.

And the dad in particular comes across as a total WAZZOCK.

I can't comment on their page any more.

SO PHONE THE POLICE ALREADY

RMH House have confirmed on Facebook that they have made a donation but not the amount. However judging from the terms they have couched this in it's not a very big one.

They don't sound very grateful or happy about it, it's very terse and asks people to stop contacting them about it because it's diverting their resources to from other families staying there to deal with them. It directs people to DTONY page with any queries.

It's worth having a look because it really doesn't look like they are feeling particularly grateful for the donation. It sounds like they're irritated they have been exploited and hassled for a measly amount.

A lot of comments have been deleted.

Sorry MsHoover - i dont do what MNers tell me to do.....

I expect they're irritated because of all the emails etc. It's probably cost them a member of staff's time to answer them all. I'm guessing RMH headquarters might be able to deal with all the enquiries but RMH NY might be a smaller operation in terms of admin staff.

See even now they've made a donation it's not good enough, and the reading far too much into a statement is so desperate to see the bad. The statement is bland. Charities don't tend to go into detail about donations or service users.
I have somehow been forced into a position o f sympathy by this strangely compelling witch hunty twisty knickers threads.
And all this faux ' poor Dax when he grows up and reads how awful his parents are? '
More likely he will grow up loving his mum and dad and then reading a load of harridans taking the piss out of his name, his dad's voice and his family. Nice.

I follow a lot of charities and witness a lot of fundraisers online. The fundraisers would usually put something like "Thank you so much for all of your amazing support and kind donations. Together we managed to raise over 13k for this incredible charity who helped our family. This is an unbelievable amount, and we couldn't have done it without you! Thank you so much! " It should be a very positive thing. I've never seen anything like this one before.

Agree with you Noeuf

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that statement from the charity. They state they don't ever state the amount donated, so I don't understand why anyone can say they don't think the donation was very big.

But the family weren't fundraisers. So they were forced into agreeing to make a donation out of funds raised to support them. So they wouldn't be thanking everyone and saying how much they raised. I think people are forgetting they've had a horrible shock, been out of their comfort zone and despite saying Dad seems well it's a bit early to know long term.

you give money to people you DONT KNOW who aren't registered charities adn you WAVE GOODBYE to it

ElizabethHoover If I walked up to you in the street and just gave you money randomly, then sure, spend it how you feel fit. However, if you go to the press, set up a funraising and FaceBook page soliciting for donations under the guise that it's for medical expenses, then I think it's people's right to question and voice their opinion if they feel they have been deceived.

Not a reg charity. You're fools to have donated
