Do you think Dell didn't vet every detail? While I can appreciate everyone has a right to their own opinion, you don't have the right to present thoughts or opinions as facts. Mackenzie is now 10 and in 4th grade. She was 9 at the time we did the Kickstarter. I won't argue that she's both tall and smart for her age. But she was in fact born September 30, 2003.
And while I don't claim to be a perfect parent (or person), I AM PROUD of my parenting skills in this particular situation (as is my husband of 20 years). We've talked at length with our kids and all agree it was a positive life experience and the great thing is that we gave away and helped others with the money raised and even added our own funds to help others as part of this campaign. We didn't profit, but we did have the luxury of actually DOING SOMETHING to make the world a better place (versus complaining, talking and spreading hate that does NOTHING to benefit the world). There may be scams in this world, but this isn't one of them. Yet no matter how many reputable media outlets and reporters verify the facts I've provided and a few others enjoy disputing, the reality is you can't argue with the truth.
My children weren't pitted against each other nor are we a broken family (likely because we do disagree and talk openly). Perhaps the things many dislike most about me and this project are precisely what makes me and my family a fairly happy, well-adjusted, typically dysfunctional American family that doesn't pretend to be perfect and loves the freedom of being able to try things and make mistakes but gets out of bed each morning eager to see what the day brings and excited to do what each of us can to make the day better for someone else.
Our children got into an argument which is fairly normal for emotionally stable individuals that live together for hours, months, and years on end. This was a 10 minute disagreement between 2 brothers and their little sister. Any sane person with a family or even a single friend can likely relate. For those that can't, perhaps you should consider using the internet to research self-awareness, access the wealth of useful self-help tools and schedule a play date or actually initiate a face-to-face conversation with a stranger to see if you have within you the inclination, ability and generosity of spirit (or even wallet) to make their day better.
Truly try "giving" because it really does feel better than receiving and certainly does much more to make the world a better place than spewing lies and hate.
Now, about that bounty I'm requesting for finding a 12-year-old daughter you forgot you had and bringing your dead husband back to life. To be fair, I'm reducing it to only 15% of profits of your daughter's scammy Kickstarter campaign. Please remit to me an email address so that I can duly submit a PDF contract complete with my signature on every page.
Oh, and for ONLY 35 BTC (my renown extortion rate), I won't publish your home address, safely assuming you're monitoring this thread.
