This story is disturbing and sad. A Carson City mother actually lied about her son’s illness and death.
In June, Victoria Morrison started a GoFundMe page for her ten-year-old son, who she claimed was very sick.
According to the page, the boy had type 3 von Willebrand disease and leukemia.

Morrison wrote a plea for any help that people could give, she said she was a single mom with three other kids and wanted to make sure her son got to do things he had on his bucket list.

The young boy was given a Charity Helicopter Ride, and his illness was the highlight of a ‘Shop with a Hero’ event in Carson City.

The boy’s teacher even donated $200 worth of gift cards.
In all, Morrison received about $2,000 of free money – and all because she was able to lie well.

On April 8, Morrison claimed on a Facebook page, that her son had died and had been cremated.
They even held a memorial service for the boy.
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office then got a tip saying that the boy was very much alive – and according to police, he was also healthy.
