Facebook Sick Child Hoaxes
Overview Perhaps the nastiest and most morally reprehensible of all, these Internet hoaxes use stolen images of sick and injured children as a means of tricking well-meaning Facebook users into liking and sharing material.

But, any message that claims that a company will donate money to help a sick child in exchange for liking or sharing an image is sure to be a hoax. Some alternative versions do not claim that money will be donated but instead suggest that liking and sharing the picture equates to prayers for the child.
