Children Facebook Hoaxes.

Why is it that every time I'm on the computer I see something that isn't true? Like for example, the one thing that really made me upset that I've seen before, a picture of a child that was born with a birth defect called anencephaly. And the description for the picture being false saying:

This baby got in a terrible care accident And his parents dont have the money to support the surgery so facebook an CNN are willing the pay half the expenses , facebook is donating money for every like , share , comment... 
1 like - 1 $ 
1 comment - 5$ 
1 share - 10 $

Umm.... How can anyone NOT know this is most likely a scam for likes, comments, and shares? I've seen people do the same thing with missing children who were found DEAD. Why would someone be so stupid to post something that isn't true? Are they not aware that someone who know's who the picture actually belongs to will see it, or that person will see the picture, and the heart ache it might cause? And are people that naive to believe that money will actually be donated? Because if you look it up, yes look it up, you will find that it's not true. Have people really stopped doing the proper research to see if money actually gets donated to the child they show or if they really have cancer, or is still missing, or has been in a terrible car accident? Every like or share is bound to get to the parents, or family members, or friends of the family. AND NO MONEY GETS DONATED.

But how many more children photos have to be posted and shared till it all stops? How many times do families have to see a picture of their child with a false description? There should have been an end to it a long time ago. And how many times does a photo have to be reported before it's taken down?

Of this picture I saw on Facebook, that I have no right to share, it showed a baby boy with his parents, and below just him. I thought, "How sad." And I saw that it said what I posted above, with the car accident, and the donating of money for every like, share or comment. And I decided to read the comments. And that's why I'm writing about this. That baby boy was born that way, with a birth defect, and after every comment of people knowing the family and saying to take the picture down and people saying they reported it and for other people too as well. yet it is still up. People should try to imagine what it would be like to be in the families shoes before posting lies about their child. how would they feel if they had a child born with the same condition and their photo was spread across Facebook with a description of nothing but lies.

Here is a link that states that Facebook does NOT donate money. It's nothing but a sad, horrible, cruel hoax.
