Saw a shared post on FB about the kids in Florida. It is horrific. They accuse those kids of being paid "crisis actors". They included photoshopped images. They claim the same kids have worked in other states. My friend who lives in FL in real estate did a little research. The kid's last name is Hogg. My friend validated that his father owns a home in that school district. She reported it to FB as fake news. The entire page is now gone so I cannot link it to you.
There are really horrible people out there.

(17,444 posts)"Really horrible people" is a lot nicer words than I used.
Remember that there are many, many more not-horrible people out here than horrible people.

(5,935 posts)Robert Runcie, the superintendent of Broward County schools, personally vouched for the fact that the "kids in the picture," Emma González and David Hogg, are students are Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
"These are absolutely students at Stoneman Douglas. They've been there. I can verify that," Runcie said.
Runcie, who was leaving his fourth funeral of the day when the Times contacted him, called Kelly's allegations "outrageous."

I already feel better.

(70,127 posts)from a cali news station. apparently the kid videoed an altercation on a beach between a boogie boarder and a life guard. they were claiming that he was a witness to a crime, and was identified as a student in cali.
the video said no such thing. in fact it said nothing about the kid, he was not the boarder, just as an aspiring filmmaker who caught the interaction, afaict.
when i reversed image searched, it brought up a reddit thread that made me glad i never visited that swamp.
these people are so despicable.
