Family Of Rescued Boy Faces Billing After Rescue

In Manorville New York five weeks after 7 year old Benny Hooper was rescued from a 24 foot well neighbors recall unity. Now Benny’s family says they are stunned by a $1500 bill from Dr. Joseph Kris for his hours during the 24 hour ordeal. The doctor defends the charge noting about 100 hours of work and says the money is fair. Some officials note tensions over credit for the rescue and the role of a Black construction worker in bringing Benny to safety. The Hoopers say they have received little money despite public sympathy and Benny has received $1000 from two television appearances. They plan to discuss the bill with Dr. Kris and consider a medical society grievance board if needed.
