I don't really like DCUM being used for fundraising and have come close to deleting that thread. Anonymous posters are not the best references for confirming facts. It took me about 5 minutes to see that the Muslim community is working diligently on behalf of the kids. If it is a fraud, a lot of Muslims are victims of that fraud. The accident apparently happened in the Baltimore area, so the fact that news reports are not available is probably not a red flag. But, the bottom line is that I just don't know whether the the fundraising campaign is fraud or not. Individual posters will have to make their own decision about that. There isn't any sock puppeting that I see.
