Comments on Girl Won Hannah Montana Concert Tickets With Fake Essay Describing Father's Death In Iraq

Common sense would tell any normal thinking adult that a 6 year old did not come up with the scheme of MY Daddy died in Iraq.
This essay was written by the mother and neither the child nor mom should be rewarded for fraud........its more than fraud, it a sacrilege and an insult to the brave military men and women who are actually in harms way,
There is no need for review or reconcideration .the answer is quite simple. This family deserves nothing... .well........maybe MOM DESERVE A WHOLE LOT OF SCORN AND SHE OWES EVERYONE AFFILIATED WITH THE CONTEST AND THE MILITARY AN APOLOGY.

except from Texas newspaper:
Ms. Ceballos refused to answer questions when confronted Friday at the store. She did not return repeated phone messages left later in the day.
Ms. Caulfield said Ms. Ceballos later admitted that the story was false.
Club Libby Lu officials said they still plan to provide the girl's prize - airfare for four to Albany, N.Y., and four tickets to the sold-out Jan. 9 Hannah Montana concert there.
"We told a 6-year-old today that she was going to see Hannah Montana, and we're not going to renege on that," Ms. Caulfield said.
Company officials have said they would release a more detailed statement tonight.
--------------my comment---------
This is a public relations nightmare for the sponsors but the fianl results according to the paper are morally obscene.
Its safe to assume that Club Libby Lu would rather insult 3900 military families who actually lost loved ones rather than disappoint a misguided 6 year old girl and her conniving mother. The six year old will get over the disappointment if she doesn't get to the concert and she might learn something about honesty.......something she obviously won't learn form her mother.
I'm just as disappointed with Club Libby Lu as I am with Priscella Ceballos

Having not read the contest rules. I cannot, nor should anyone else, assume a fraud has transpired. This was a writing contest, and for an author to put themselves in another's shoes to feel their pain and write about it effectively I think makes it a worthy entrant.

The only fraud is the mother saying it was true, instead, she should have admitted it was how they assumed a child would feel after having read so much in the papers about such tragedies.

I, like the store who sponsored the contest, will take no part in the destruction of a childs creative and imaginative mind. So I will applaud Club Libby Lu for their decision and hope the public can leave this family alone.

Let us not go after blood when a scolding will do.

DennisP1 the only thing this creative and imaginative going on in this kids mind is how to get what she wants! i sincerely doubt that this essay was based on what she believed a child her age was going thru after the death of a parent. It was clearly based on getting the prize and the mother is the teacher of this "creative" thinking! They scamed the system basically! And if the child is rewarded at this age what will she be doing with her creative talents in a few years? She needs to be taught a lesson! If you want something work and get it honestly!

This was a poorly conceived contest that had all the potential of becoming a public relations nightmare. I hate to see the mother rewarded but I think its going to happen since the contest sponsors were ill prepared to execute an essay contest of this magnitude.
I'm sure ""Club Libby LIE where your child learns that lying pays off ""is not the tag line the sponsors where hoping for.
I hope the Priscilla Ceballos has a really nice time in NYC since her reputation/integrity are being slammed on the Internet, thus making Priscella and her daughter the big losers.
As for Celallos' fifteen minutes of fame, once the bloggers tear into a story, its out there for life. Someday a potential employer or loan officer will google her name and read about the lady who insulted 3001 families just so she could see Hannah Montana.
Karma loves people like Priscella Ceballos
The right thing to happen is for Ceballos to decline the prize and ask that it be rewarded elsewhere and try to salvage whats left of her reputation. That is if the mother even values her reputation.

WHAT???
According to DennisP1 - "This was a writing contest, and for an author to put themselves in another's shoes to feel their pain and write about it effectively I think makes it a worthy entrant."
This woman portrayed herself as the WIDOW! "Company spokeswoman Robyn Caulfied says the mom had told the company the girl's dad died April 17 in a roadside bombing in Iraq."
I am certain that "feeling their pain" never even entered her mind...she was too preocupied with attempting to cheat other deserving writers out of their FAIR opportunity to win legitamatly.
The only thing that this woman deserves is the "Moron of 2007 Award" for thinking that she could get away with this - good thing for this deluded poster that she just slid in under the award deadline...

i blame the mother for this. There's no way that a six year old could of thought of that by herself. Although it was a writing contest and it was a very good essay and it was not in the rules that the story had to be true i still believe that she should not get the tickets because she has to learn responsibility and hopefully her mom could teach her that. As for the mom she really needs to learn some responsibility also.

The Associated Press released this Saturday afternoon.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/5410338.html.
Except::
The contest's sponsor, Club Libby Lu, withdrew the prize on Saturday and awarded it to another unnamed winner.
"With this decision, we hope to revive the intended spirit of the contest, which was designed to make a little girl's holidays extra special," Club Libby Lu chief executive Mary Drolet said in a statement Saturday.
Even though I'm happy Club Libby Lu withdrew the prize, it still suggest that the 25 year old mother of three never saw anything wrong with her behavior. Prescilla Ceballos is still without a moral compass. After visiting her MY Space page its apparent the woman has a need for attention even if its only negative attention.

Obviously a 6 year old didn't come up with something like that. The mom probably came up with the whole scheme. If the little girl loves Hannah Montana then they shouldn't punish the little girl for her mother's actions. They should punish the mother.

As I have observed from various internet sites ,it seems that Karma came early for Ms. Priscilla Ceballos.
Club Libby Lu has recinded her concert tickets. Her Myspace page has been taken down.
Her firends a family are not too happy with her and some bloogers are checking into every dirty secret from her past. Also, AOL has posted a survey about her. (she's not fareing well in the polls).
I guess her fifteen minutes of fame were none too pleasant. Its not the essay that the little girl supposedly wrote but the lies the mother told after winning the contest that caused the malestorm.
Mom so deseves the scorn, She should have just relinquished the tickets from the beginning and life for her could have been pleasant. Like I stated previously "Karma came early and I'm glad I got to whitness it.

they should not issue any tickets to this person. If anything,they should prosecute the mother for fraud by lying. Any person that would stoop so low as to use the death of a military person killed in action to obtain profit or gain should be deported and stripped of their rights as an american citizen. I would be very shocked if they allowed this person to get the tickets. Give them to some child of a veteran or sick child who would appreciate them.

This is the major problem in America today. Parents who do not teach their children good things by example. This child will grow up learning that cheating is okay; just try harder not to get caught. And we wonder why our children are growing up without a moral compass. Hurray for Club Libby Lu in giving the tickets to a "real" winner. Shame on you Ceballos!

Well I definitely agree that you should not reward this little girl for lying, but there is a good chance that the mom was the one who started the whole thing. If that's the case, the mom is already condoning bad behavior and this poor little girl doesn't stand a chance in HELL! It's also very sad to all of the entries that were good and truthful and to all of the children who have lost their mom or dad in Iraq. An insult to the lives this horrible war has personally touched. Very sad that kids aren't being taught right from wrong anymore.

To DennisP1: Are you kidding me???assume a fraud has transpired??!..stop being a politically correct idiot! COME ON! the mom knew what she was doing and should have realized the consequences of lying to gain tickets to a concert! stop tippy toeing through the tulips about her "creativity" and admit that she is the one who is teaching her daughter to be a liar to be rewarded something she didn't win honestly. I have girls and if I couldn't afford the tickets (and by the sound of the going prices I can't) then we WOULDN'T GO! wow let's not hurt our childrens feelings by saying oh sorry dear we just cannot afford it. that is what is partly wrong with the world today, and the other is not taking responsibility for our actions when we make mistakes. If they award the tickets to this girl they will be sending her a message that this is acceptable. The biggest insult to injury is that children are losing their parents to this war so why don't you put yourself in harms way to protect the country that you are criticizing by taking it so lightly with your mumbo jumbo idiotic statement!

I just caught the story on the Today Show. This whole story is very sad to me. I don't know what the rules of the essay contest were, although, I would have thought it was for children to write, not adults posing as children. Sadly, this happens all over.
Although it took a lot of guts to appear on a network television show to read an obviously prepared statement of apology and admit her guilt, I'm not in agreement that she has an attorney and forensic psychiatrist sitting at her side supporting her.
Prescilla's own sister appeared on camera supporting her actions as well. It must be a "family thing".
Our children are taught by our actions. Ms. Ceballos is obviously not leading by example in the best way. I hope her daughter doesn't have the same last name.
I once dated a person with a pathological lying problem; she told me her grandmother had died (and her grandmother is still living today). This person continues to carry on like this and I agree with another person who commented; it's all about ATTENTION!
I don't believe the tickets should have even been considered to be awarded to this family. Sadly, Ms. Ceballos took it a step further and lied again on network TV (in her interview with the Today Show) saying she refused the tickets and told her daugher the contest judges said her essay was a lie.
She's definitely gotten attention; probably not the kind she had wished for. I would be very suspicious about this person.

If we don't take away the tickets, then we are sending a message not only to the girl and her mother, but to all kids that this is acceptable behavior and that we should all misrepresent ourselves to gain whatever we desire.
