Cheating Mother "Explains" Essay for Hannah Montana Tickets

Various news services have reported that Priscilla Ceballos has "apologized" for a "bad decision" in trying to win Hannah Montana concerts for her daughter.

She said she hadn't intended to mislead the contest sponsor but got caught up in helping her daughter "realize her dream of seeing Hannah Montana."

My response: YEAH...RIGHT!!!

Cebellos read a statement on NBC's "Today" show Friday morning, stating, "Please accept my heartfelt apology and please do not punish my child for my mistake." Ceballos apologized specifically to the military and military families for falsely claiming the girl's father died in a roadside bombing in Iraq.

"I just wanted to help my daughter write a compelling story," she said. "There is no more compelling story than the struggle and sacrifices of our military and their families. I meant no disrespect. I just made a bad decision which I sincerely regret."

This sounds like famous line of Rhett Butler to Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind - "You're like the thief that isn't sorry he stole, but is very, very sorry that he got caught."

This woman is trying to cover her tracks and do spin control. It is obviously on the advise of her lawyer. She was attempting to steal something by using false statements to get it.

She is only sorry that she got caught. If she had not got caught, does anyone think she would have come to the realization she had done anything wrong? I THINK NOT!

Some comments on my previous posts on this topic state that we should not criticize the child as it was the mote hr that instigated the act.

I agree 100 percent. The child is not at fault. Children do what they are told and taught. I know the mother set this up and used her daughter as a tool in this fraud.

The daughter deserved a better mother than this. Some say this has been blown way out of proportion. I say it has not. What she did was reprehensible. She deserved to be charge with fraud and at the very least deserves some sort of penalty for her fraudulent actions.

Her appearance on television was not an apology. It was an explanation in an attempt to do spin control. She is not sorry. She is afraid she may get charged with a crime, possibly convicted, and at the very least, get the crap beat out of her.

I guess that smirk on her face is being wiped off by public indignation and scorn.

Garland Girl's Fake Contest Entry Thrown Out

The 6-year-old Garland, Texas girl whose winning entry in a Hannah Montana essay contest was found to be false will not collect the prize of seeing the singer in concert after all.

Mary Drolet, chief executive officer of Club Libby Lu, the company aimed at "tween" girls that sponsored the contest, announced Saturday that the prize was being withdrawn. The announcement came a day after a Club Libby Lu spokesperson initially said the company would honor the prize even though the girl's father was not a soldier and did not die in Iraq, as the essay said.

I am glad to see this. The loser mother and her daughter do not need to win any prizes. I feel sorry for the young girl; however, her mother is a piece of work.

Earlier today, I found her MySpace page and it was filled with gang-banger, bling-bling trash that showed her true nature.

Media has reported that members of her family had been involved in criminal activity and has criminal records. I would be willing to bet this woman is following in the footsteps of her relatives.

The girl's mother, Priscilla Ceballos, refused to comment at the store Friday or when reached at home Saturday. A woman who answered the phone at Ms. Ceballos' home referred calls to an attorney but did not provide contact information.

A few questions come to mind:

1. Was there ever a father of the daughter in the picture?

2. Was the father actually in the military?

3. Who is Jonathon Menjivar, the man listed at the father who dies in Iraq?

4. Does this woman have a criminal history?

5. Are she, her daughter, and the relatives who live with her legally in the country?

6. Will she face criminal charges as a result of this attempt fraud?

I will keep abreast of this story and post further finds as soon as they become available.

Mother Lies About Iraq Death to Win Hannah Montana Tickets

A 6-year-old Garland girl won a Hannah Montana makeover and concert tickets Friday with an essay that started, "My daddy died this year in Iraq ..."

But the girl's mother, Priscilla Ceballos, now admits that the essay, along with information she supplied about the supposedly deceased soldier, is false, said Robyn Caulfield, a spokeswoman for Club Libby Lu.

This is just symptomatic of the attitude of today's generation and their view that anything is acceptable to achieve a result.

Some have stated in various forums that this woman made a mistake and she perhaps did not understand the rules of the contest. Others state that this incident is not typical of this generation. I responded to these comments as follows:

Every generation has good apples and bad apples. However, there is a distinct attitude among this current generation that anything goes and that the end justifies the means. I think it may have to do with the fact that the current generation has never had to face hardship like its predecesore.

My generation had Vietnam and the Cold War, our parents faced WW2, our grandparents dealt with WW1 and the Depression.

This current generation has never had to do without and face TRUE hardship. I, and I am willing to bet many others, feel the same way. The sad fact is that this generation will not realize its current situation, behavior, and attitude will be a detriment to themselves and society.

I think they will eventually figure it out. After all, Winston Churchill said, "If you are not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."

My message to this generation..."Grow up, look around, and fly right. The world does not center around you."

This woman is a piece of trash. She deserves all the condemnation and criticism that she receives.

I will keep up on this story. It seems that there must be criminal charges in this woman's future.
