You know how the saying goes. Karma will always come back to haunt you. A 6-year-old Texas girl (her name is unidentified) is experiencing this right now as her Hannah Montana concert tickets were taken away.
The girl entered an essay contest, sponsored by Club Libby Lu, where she lied in the essay by saying that her father died in a roadside bombing in Iraq on April 17.
Officials of this Chicago-based chain- that sells clothes, accessories and games for girls- surprised the girl with a makeover that includes a blonde Hannah wig and airfare for four to the Hannah concert in Albany, NY on Jan. 9. The sponsors have announced that they are going to withdraw the prize and award it to another contestant. The new winner has not been identified at this time.
According to CTV, the opening line in the essay read, "My daddy died this year in Iraq."
Priscilla Ceballos, the young girls mother, told officials that her husband died in Iraq. She later admitted that the essay and the military information that she provided them were not true. In an interview with KDFW-TV of Dallas, Ceballos said, "We did the essay and that's what we did to win. We did whatever we could do to win. But when [Caulfield] asked me if this essay is true, I said 'no, this essay is not true.'"
Mary Drolet, the Chief executive of the organization [Club Libby Lu], announced the decision to not award the 6-year-old with her concert tickets. "With this decision, we hope to revive the intended spirit of the contest, which was designed to make a little girl's holiday extra special," said Drolet in a press conference.
What kind of world are we living in? Really think about this story. How could a mother sit down and write an essay, there is no way a 6-year-old is capable of writing an essay like this, about her husband, her little girl's daddy, died in Iraq. The husband is not even in the army.
It is a little sad that they took the little girl's tickets away, she is innocent in all this, but what kind of lesson would they teach the mother and the daughter, if they allowed them to keep their tickets. It's a little frightening what these people will do just to get tickets to see Hannah Montana. Is this 15-year-old pop tart even worth it? No.
