Only in Florida: White trash couple tells 12-year-old son he's dying of cancer so they could raise $1,000 on GoFundMe

Robert Long and Ginny Long told their 12-year-old son he was dying of cancer, just so they could run a GoFundMe page asking for donations.

They also set up a T-shirt fundraiser at his school, only selling 9 shirts, The GoFundMe page raised $1,000.

The boy was told he had multiple inoperable brain tumors, and would likely die soon.

The entire scam collapsed when school resource officers noticed that the boy seemed far too healthy for someone with cancer, and reported the situation to police.

After an investigation, while the boy fully believed he was going to die from cancer, the parents could not produce any medical records indicating he ever had that diagnosis, including ones they claimed existed on their GoFundMe page.

People faking cancer for money happens everywhere so it's not only in Florida.

Admit it, you only put that part in so you could post that Bugs Bunny gif.

The short answer is yes

[herbertstemple]

That's cruel.

Tell a kid he is dying of cancer then make him keep going to school.

What would be the point?

Florida seems like it really is the official garbage dump of the US (no offense to Pooh); I think much much more than even your inbred redbeck states like Kentucky etc

Come to think of it, is there anyone FROM Florida who lives in Florida?? It seems like people just move there. Ive had a few "acquaintances" over my lifetime who have moved to Florida...but i know zero people who are actually originally from Florida and still live there...AND are normal.

I was born in Florida and lived there for 22 years. Dunno about the normal part tho

Can you explain why you left?

Seemed like a strange move to go from the warm weather of Florida to one of the coldest winter cities in the US.

Isn't it obvious? You don't read the news? I know you do because you're the one who started this thread

Druff loves finding a way to trash Florida, He has been doing this for years, My only guess is he’s jealous of Florida, I mean let’s face the facts here he lives in a crime ridden state were English is a second language in most parts. I could have posted 12 awful stories about California that hit the news lately

California is an awful state. I do like Florida because it has great golf courses. But California, I just don't get that state. I have been there like 100 times in my life and I have never got why people think its so great.

4BET: Lol. so you left Florida to live in the murder capital of the US? Kid was busted and Mom and dad moved is the real reason he left

Only someone from Florida would be incapable of understanding per capita statistics

Palm beach county and Broward County (Ft Lauderdale) aren't quite like the rest of the state. I have an expression that I use all the time "you have to go north to go south in palm beach". That's why every time you look at a political map there is a big blue patch in the lower right hand side of the state.

Of course, to Gordmans point, that's because 4/5 people have moved here within the last 30 years. There are some florida originals around but they are far and few between.
