Remember the two girls who did a nice thing by leaving cookies for their neighbors, then got sued?
There's an update.
DURANGO, Colo. (AP) - Two teenage girls who got in trouble for surprising their neighbors with homemade cookies will not have to pay nearly $1,000 in medical bills for a woman who says she was so startled that she had to go to the hospital.
Radio station KOA-AM of Denver raised more than $1,900 from listeners Friday to pay the girls' $930.78 fine. The rest of the money will go to a charity dedicated to victims of the Columbine High School massacre.
Hell, I'd give the extra money to the girls!
But it gets better.
Meanwhile, Richard Ostergaard, father of Taylor, got a restraining order against Young's husband, Herb, in county court, claiming he continues to make harassing telephone calls to the Ostergaard residence.
Not content with suing teenage girls, huh? The Youngs seem to be real winners.
Wanita Young said, "This has turned into quite a fiasco. It's something that never should have happened and it's just devastating. My phone hasn't stopped ringing. My life has been threatened and I'll probably have to move out of town."
Good riddance! You're a paranoid, vindictive twit! Hell, a normal person would have accepted the girls' apology and their offer to pay the medical expenses. But no, you7 had to drag them into court! Of course you're hated by the entire country now!
