I'm surprised so many people bought it. Not saying I think it is false. But seems convenient for him to not provide any info to back it up and them not able to find anyone to at least back his story. I was suspicious from the get go. In this day and age the word of just one person is no good anymore.

This seems to make people angrier than the fake news that clearly helped swing the US election to Trump and his clown show.

Ok, some more news today. One news agency has independently verified details of the story.

So the internet mob can shift from attacking the santa, calling him the slime of humanity, over to the news agencies that suggested it was fake, and call them the slime of humanity

I raised my eyebrow yesterday when I tried to google the boys name and family but came up with nothing. The story was in every newspaper so I thought I could find something about them. That being said I sure hope the hoax claim isn't true.

So Im seeing the articles and links about the story being fake all over the place, but no one seems to be reporting that the story was in fact verified. News world just slow in catching up or is the fake angle just a much more attractive notion for the media? Either way, seems like a lot of people may never hear that the story was verified. Poor bloke.
