Amid tweets about the weather and her pets, blogger Shellie Ross shocked many of her 5,000 followers with a message on Twitter they weren’t expecting to read. Ross’ public announcement of her son’s death prompted both sympathy and anger from fellow bloggers, many of whom were so taken aback by the shocking announcement that they questioned the validity of her tweet.
Madison McGraw was one of the bloggers who reached out via Twitter several news organizations asking them to verify the boy’s death so she would know it wasn’t a hoax. “Hope no one is sending donations without verifying,” McGraw tweeted.
