Toys "R" Us baby contest sparks fuss...

Whatever...but PLEASE..there is a difference between legal resident and citizen. Those two terms get tossed around as if they are the same thing.

Indeed, and they are not the same. Legal resident means the mother was here LEGALLY wether she be a citizen or here on a visa or whatever. If the contest said Legal Resident, she is elegable, if it said Citizen than she is not.

If it were me, I'd fight for it on the technicallity alone. People need to learn to use proper phrasing, especially when it comes to matters of money.

*edit* Im not sure if it said the woman was a legal resident or not...if she isn't than the issue is moot really.

The child was DEPRIVED money for her education? Hello? Here we go with the entitlement theory. There was no deprivation.

If the rules stated X and she/her mother didn't qualify, then, it goes to the next person.
