Viral Facebook posts claiming a young boy was found alone at night by a police officer in either Hereford or King’s Lynn have been confirmed as false.

The posts, shared in large community groups, include images of a bruised child and claim he was rescued by “Deputy Tyler Cooper.” They urge people to “flood feeds” to help find the child’s family.

These are hoax posts—a troubling trend on Facebook. They often exploit emotional triggers, then later get edited to promote scams, like cashback websites or real estate ads. To avoid being misled:
