When my daughter was 4 she had issues with balance because of issues with her ears. She was walking past my wife and I, pretending to need to use the bathroom for the 10th time, but it was really just an excuse to not go to bed.

As she walked past we said something to her, and she turned her head to look back, and literally just fell down. But, I heard a popping or snapping sound, and she immediately said she hurt her leg and couldn't stand on it.

We took her to her pediatrician's the next day, they took x-rays and she her leg was fine, and she should try to put weight on it. And we proceeded to make her walk on her leg for 2 weeks.

Finally, we went back to her pediatrician's office, and they suggested she may have hit her head when she fell, and she was dragging her leg as she walked as a result from head trauma. This sounded wrong to my wife and I, so we drove her to Children's Mercy. We took her original x-ray with us.

The pediatric radiologist looked at her original x-ray and diagnosed a spiral fracture without seconds. That's not hyperbole. He explained that a normal radiologist really wasn't trained on reading x-rays of children so young, so they often miss spiral fractures.

She was immediately put into a cast, she chose hot pink, and in 8 weeks her spiral fracture was healed.

My point being twofold; either the spiral fracture was bad enough that it could be read and diagnosed easily by a radiologist, or the child has been thoroughly checked for spiral fractures by a pediatric radiologist, probably based on other visible abuse markers.

I am not saying Hill had anything to do with it, or the mother, as it is entirely possible for a child to obtain a spiral fracture without being abused.

This just makes me feel like this situation is a money grab by the grandmother or both the mother and grandmother. Because child support for a person making a couple of million per year, is 5 figures monthly.

She'd get child support with or without an abuse claim.

Jesus this thread is as bad as the last one.
