KFC is footing the medical bills for a little girl who's family was asked to leave one of the chain's Mississippi locations because the toddler's face was "disrupting customers."
3-year-old Victoria Wilcher was brutally attacked by her Grandfather's three pit bulls, causing her to lose an eye. She also has visible scars all over her face and the right side of her face is paralyzed.
