The post, which features \u00a0a photograph depicting a sick child in a hospital bed with his obviously distraught \u00a0mother beside him, claims that Facebook has decided to donate money to help the child every time his picture is liked, shared, or commented on.  \u00a0Supposedly, Facebook will donate \u00a0$2 for every like, $4 for every comment, and $5 for every share.  \u00a0The post asks you to follow a linked profile and suggests that if you don&#8217;t participate you must be heartless.<\/p>\n<p>However, the only heartless individual in this scenario is the despicable an immoral swine who created this scam post.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook certainly will not donate money based on how many times a post or picture is liked, shared, or commented on. In fact, any post that \u00a0makes \u00a0such a claim is certain to be a scam. The image used in the scam post is <a title=\"Pray for Zack\" href=\"https:\/\/cycling4jesus.ca\/2014\/12\/14\/pray-for-zack\/\">stolen from a site<\/a> that asks for prayers to help the sick child in the picture.<\/p>\n<p>Why, you might ask, would anybody feel the need to steal a picture of a sick child and then use it in a post that told outright lies about a supposed Facebook driven donation scheme?  \u00a0Unfortunately, the practice is <a title=\"Facebook Sick Child Hoaxes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/facebook-sick-baby-hoaxes.shtml\">all too common<\/a>. The debased and immoral users who create these fake donation posts do so only to promote their Facebook Profiles and Pages to a much wider audience. These scammers know that such posts are shared far and wide by well meaning Facebook users who really think that they can help the pictured children by participating. Thus, they can garner a great deal of attention very quickly by launching one of these deplorable sick baby scams.<\/p>\n<p>If one of these posts comes your way, do not cater to the goals of these morally bankrupt scammers by liking, sharing, or commenting.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, \u00a0Facebook&#8217;s response \u00a0to the spread of these scams has been reprehensibly inadequate. Inexplicably, Facebook often <a title=\"Dear Facebook, I Have a Question......\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/facebook-i-have-a-question.shtml\">does \u00a0not remove such scam posts<\/a> after users report them. \u00a0However, it is still worth reporting such posts as, sometimes, Facebook does remove them.<\/p>\n<p>And, you can help stop the spread of these scams by ensuring that you never participate in them and by letting friends who share them know what the posts are really about.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: April 11, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: April 11, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
