Missing Child Hoax

I just read a post of a missing child named Evan Trembley. I completely believed it for a couple of minutes then I realized that it wasn't true. After a while I realized that there was no information about Evan, no information about what he was wearing when he went missing, where he was, stuff like that.
I then went to Google and typed in his name and a lot of things about him "missing" came up. I skimmed through a couple of them and I read that it was a hoax. Evan was never missing, he made it up to freak out his friends and it got sent all around the Internet. He is now what people call an accidental Internet star. After the police spoke with his mother, she reported that the police weren't going to press charges against her son.
This posting just goes to show that you can't always trust everything that you read online no matter how much you want to believe it.
