There's a link a few pages back to an interview with the dad, boy AND their lawyer. I think the interviewer was Hannah...Strom? the boy doesn't look so willing to talk in that interview and dad can't keep his story straight. Lawyer says a few things but by the time he opened his mouth I was to sick to my stomach to pay attention.
The $4mil figure came from someone who posted their lawyer neighbor said that's what the suit was filed for. If that is the figure, they're probably banking on Disney settling for less.
But anyone with eyes can view the video, including the rarely shown end bitpolice report where no injury was found, the hospital records that are not public will show the extent of the injury and possible cause (if any) and with ears hear the possibly incriminating edited out beginning audio, the dad admitting 'at first I thought Jerry was doing something to Tigger' and the dad changing his story within not only different interviews, but the same ones as well.
Does anyone have a link to where any legal documents have been filed or where there is a clip of the attorney saying he's bringing this case for $4m? Just curious because I'm not sure that they've gotten an attorney to take the case and ask for $4m.
In one instance I feel bad for the kid - Kids can be insanely cruel and he's got to go back to school. Thanks to dear old dad, Jr is going to be put up with a LOT more crap than he may already put up with. he doesn't have the look of a kid who hangs with the popular crowd or any type of crowd that would 'have his back', more of a loner. He'll probably return to school to find his locker plastered with Tigger stickers, hand drawn cartoons of the incident and kids passing him in the hall saying 'Woo Hoo Hoo' or 'Hey Monaco watch out, my kid sister's gonna be Tigger for Halloween this year and she's got a mean left jab' All becuase his dad's an a$$. I hope Disney does NOT pay them a cent, but if they get anything out of it I hope they put it towards the therepy this kids gonna need to help cope.
On the other hand, I don't feel sorry for him at all. Yeah, dad's an overbearing pushy jerk, but come on - he knows what awaits him at school, own up, miraculously get better or something. Get a spine! Show your dad what it means to 'be a man'.
I also notice the mom and younger two aren't involved. Hopefully she's working on him to make it less public (though the dad seems to type that you can't change their mind and are always right). I don't think anyone has to worry about them ever returning to Disney though. The two little boys are going to grow up hearing that Tigger 'sucker punched' their brother and they are going to see the video as often as dad shows it with that commentary that they'll grow up believing it and not return of their own accord because they'll believe it's an inherantly evil place where *employees* are allowed to treat people like that. That's what those two poor little boys are going to grow up having pounded into their heads.
