Nothing you can do about it.
Focus on taking care of your kid. |

Wait, is the GoFundMe on behalf of the kid? Or did they just reference the kids name in the write up? |

| I think you posted previously about this wondering if your son was owed any of the estate. I'm so sorry about this, but definitely contact GoFundMe about the fraud. There should be a link on the fundraiser page to report it as a scam. In the meantime, your son should be owed some Social Security survivor benefits since he's under 18. |

It’s to support the family. And kid is listed with the others. It just seems like a tacky money grab and would like my kids name out of it. |

Mine did fund raising for the funeral and our kid. I got the money, but found it super tacky, because they can afford it all. They do have something missing when it comes to sensitivity. Can't explain it.
Concentrate on survivor's benefits for the child. |

NP and sounds like the fundraiser is factually accurate. I'd let it go. |
