  • Cruel Scammers Exploit Photos Of A 9-Year-Old Boy Fighting Brain Cancer On Fraudulent TikTok Accounts To Collect Donations

    Cruel Scammers Exploit Photos Of A 9-Year-Old Boy Fighting Brain Cancer On Fraudulent TikTok Accounts To Collect Donations

    The family of a 9-year-old boy battling brain cancer is speaking out against scammers taking advantage of their heartbreaking situation to make money for themselves, as reported by the NY Post.

    Deceitful individuals have been using images of Julian Galloway on fraudulent TikTok and other social media accounts to solicit donations from kind-hearted individuals via PayPal, according to ABC13. The Texas family, who has been documenting Julian’s courageous fight against cancer on Facebook, discovered this disturbing scheme in May. “It’s very disheartening. People out there will do anything to make a quick buck, ”the boy’s father Lee Galloway told The Post Monday. Julian was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in December 2019. Two years ago, he was given just six months to a year to live, but he has defied the odds and continues to bravely fight today, according to ABC13.

    The family has made significant efforts to report the fraudulent accounts, attempting to work their way through the app and its support center to have the posts removed. However, Galloway shared with the Independent that it has been challenging for them to even demonstrate that “anybody had been victimized.”

    Although the family has noticed a decline in scammers since they began raising awareness about the issue, Galloway still discovers new accounts featuring even more current information. They took photos they specifically shared with nonprofits or images that Galloway just posted on their Facebook page moments earlier.

  • Grandmother Outraged After Her 6-Year-Old Grandson, Traveling Alone, Was Placed On Wrong Spirit Airlines Flight During The Busiest Traveling Season

    Grandmother Outraged After Her 6-Year-Old Grandson, Traveling Alone, Was Placed On Wrong Spirit Airlines Flight During The Busiest Traveling Season

    A family’s worst nightmare came true when a Spirit Airlines flight made the mistake of sending a 6-year-old first-time flyer to the wrong airport, located hundreds of miles away from his intended destination, reports the NY Post. 

    Maria Ramos, the grandmother of the young passenger named Casper, revealed that he was supposed to land at Southwest Florida Airport in Fort Myers after flying solo from Philadelphia on Thursday, as reported by WINK News. Ramos was shocked when she learned Casper never boarded the correct plane to Fort Myers, leaving only his luggage to make the trip.

    “They told me, ‘No, he’s not on this flight. He missed his flight.’ I said, ‘No, he could not miss his flight because I have the check-in tag,”

    Ramos told the outlet.

    “I ran inside the plane to the flight attendant and I asked her, ‘Where’s my grandson? He was handed over to you at Philadelphia?’ She said, ‘No, I had no kids with me.’”

    According to the grandmother, Casper was mistakenly sent to Orlando International Airport, which is over 200 miles away from Fort Myers. Ramos had to drive four hours to retrieve the six-year-old, describing the incident as the most

    “frightening”

    experience she has ever had. Spirit Airlines offered to compensate Ramos for the lengthy drive.

    In a statement to the outlet, the airline’s spokesman, Michael Lopardi, wrote,

    “The child was always under the care and supervision of a Spirit Team Member, and as soon as we discovered the error, we took immediate steps to communicate with the family and reconnect them.”

    “We take the safety and responsibility of transporting all of our Guests seriously and are conducting an internal investigation. We apologize to the family for this experience.”

He was taken into custody on a warrant for distribution of child pornography. Further investigation disclosed that there was no connection between Kirkus and the child, which led authorities to her mother. She admitted to facilitating the meeting between her daughter and Kirkus and confessed to having sex with her daughter numerous times. She also disclosed that Bailey had joined in on the abuse and had even sexually assaulted the girl once without Spaeth present. According to an affidavit, Bailey started abusing the girl when she was just 8 years old. 

    Following Spaeth’s arrest, the 10-year-old girl and another child were taken from the residence. Spaeth and Bailey were charged with continuous sexual assault of a child amongst other charges, while Kirkus was charged with possession with intent to promote pornography.

    A Florida mother, Rebecca Gussage-Johnston, 24, has been charged with first-degree murder while engaged in aggravated child abuse after restricting her 2-year-old son to a booster seat for fifteen hours in an attempt to punish him for

    “acting out,”
