Comet Ping Pong recently used gofundme.com to generate revenue for repairs and lost

wages of employees during the staged shoot-out a few weeks ago.

While doing a search of the site a couple of weeks ago, I noticed what seemed like thousands of

posts for kids and animals. Many of them seemed repetitive, using the same language, like one

person was creating dozens of posts. Many look like this: [ https://www.gofundme.com/de6gro ].

That's not to say, of course, that all the posts are like this. There are legitimate funding requests.

But it struck me as the ideal way to sell a child to an anonymous buyer.

Any thoughts on this? Are any of the funding requests verified, that a particular child has a

medical need, or needs a service animal, etc?
