  • Alabama Police say there was no truth to the news, surrounded by social media claiming that a toddler and dog were missing.
  • Helena Police Chief Brad Flynn clarified that, without everyone’s awareness, the fraudster could change the text and images in the post to serve as an advertisement with a link.

Braydon Johnson’s missing case is nothing more than a hoax that started via social media

A Facebook post that has been going through the San Angelo Area. A child, whose name is Breydon Johnson, has gone missing, the San Angelo Police department said.

Per reports, a young boy, Brayden Johnson, ran away from his house with the family dog, Hank. The child was described in the post as having autism.

The San Antonio Police department has acknowledged that the post is fake, that the post is incorrect, and that Johnson has not been the subject of any reports of missing children. 

Helena Police Chief spotted a scam social media post

Alabama Police say there was no truth to the news, surrounded by social media hoax claiming that a toddler and dog were missing.

The con artists are back at it. This time, I was posting in the “What’s Happening in Helena” Facebook group?

“HELP!!! #Helena,” read one of the posts. “This morning, my son Brayden Johnson left with our dog Hank. If you spot him, please send me a private message and post about it on any website. He is autistic and has been missing for eight hours. Police were already contacted”.

Helena Police Chief Brad Flynn says these posts are entirely fake. He says criminals like to pull on people’s heartstrings, hoping for shares.

Further, police chief Helena Flynn claims that all the information related to Beydon’s missing case is false and that thieves like playing on victims’ emotions to gain sympathy.

Later, he clarified that, without everyone’s awareness, the fraudster could change the text and images in the post to serve as an advertisement with a link after it has already gained enormous popularity. The post will still be visible on your profile.

He said, “At that point, you are unknowingly sharing that scammers information all the other times it’s been shared, and on top of that, the link is usually fraudulent so it’s used to obtain personal and credit card information,” said Chief Flynn.

He continues, “If something appears fishy, it probably is. The chief also clarified that the Helena Police Department would have published its post about missing children.”
