Hotel Guests Sue Over Vegas Condom ShockerClaim: Girl, 5, found used rubber, placed item in her mouth JULY 18--Claiming that their young daughter discovered a used condom in a Las Vegas hotel bed and then put the rubber in her mouth, a Scottish couple is suing Caesar's Palace for negligence and emotional distress. According to a lawsuit filed July 13 in Clark County District Court, five-year-old Caitlin Kilcoyne found the condom during a July 2004 Sin City visit with her parents Gerald and Jacqueline. Caitlin "found a used condom in the made up bed in her room...and placed the condom in her mouth," notes the complaint, a copy of which you'll find below. The Kilcoynes contend that, following the incident, they incurred expenses for medical treatment, hospitalization, x-rays, drugs, and "evaluation and treatment of Caitlin's condition." The lawsuit does not indicate what, if any, lasting damage was caused to the child. The complaint, which seeks in excess of $10,000 in damages, claims that the family has suffered "shock, horror, fear, anxiety, and distress."

Why did they wait until now if it happened over 2 years ago?

Because they're dumb, or it's fabricated in some way. Nasty still though.

I bet they are hoping for an out of court settlement.

I looked around for other articles pertaining to this, and there aren't any. So someone probably made this up. That's one of the biggest hotels in Vegas, and if they're beign sued for that little of an amount for something like this, you'd think you'd be able to read it elsewhere. That, or this story is really old, like it was written in July of 04, but only after everyone tried to settle out of court and the family decided to sue.

I'm not saying she's the brightest 5 year old girl in the world, but it could've been a point where her parents weren't paying attention. I mean, true, parents need to pay attention, but at the same time, when it comes to hotel beds, those are supposed to be kept clean anyway. So it does pose as neglect on the hotel's part.
However, I do agree that a lot of people in this nation have some really silly lawsuits. Also, in this country, $10,000 isn't that much when it comes to lawsuits, unless you deal with small claims court.
There's still something off about the story though.

To me $10,000 isn't a lot of money when it could be a death sentence. I do agree with you tho that Americans are sue happy. I'm not sure why they would wait so long to sue tho.

Not one had to make her do it, she just didn't know any better. It's like a kid who ate paste back in kindergarten. He doesn't do it because someone is making him do it, he just does. -$10000 is not a lot of money. I could spend twice that in a single shopping spree. -If that was your kid and there was a chance of her getting HIV would you sue?

I'm 99% with you, the forth bullet is a little too much for me ;D ;D ;D Once I read some homeless kids here used to "chew" condoms 'cause they coudn't afford real gum... I just don't understand why do the parents waited so much to sue the hotel...

Nevermind I realized you're trolling because your profile comment history says you posted here years ago. But if you wanna pretend you're some little girl bitter about eating a used condom for some reason(?) then go ahead..

But if you wanna pretend you're some little girl bitter about eating a used condom for some reason(?) then go ahead.. Haha okay so I'm not trolling and I don't need to prove that too you, I don't understand why someone would pretend to be me, I don't know what your talking about comment history the only reason iv ever used this site was to write that comment. I am actually who I say I am which isn't hard to believe I'm pretty sure everyone's typed there name or they're friends into google imagine my shock when people at my primary told me the results of typing my name into the internet. I'm not bothered about this anymore at the point of writing that comment people were saying things to me about it, although It still does annoy me when random people talk about it who don't know the full story and comment on the situation
