Woman Fakes Son’s Leukemia Complete With A Staged Death, Memorial Service: Cops

This story is disturbing and sad. A Carson City mother actually lied about her son’s illness and death.

In June, Victoria Morrison started a GoFundMe page for her ten-year-old son, who she claimed was very sick.

According to the page, the boy had type 3 von Willebrand disease and leukemia.

The young boy was given a Charity Helicopter Ride, and his illness was the highlight of a ‘Shop with a Hero’ event in Carson City.

The boy’s teacher even donated $200 worth of gift cards.

In all, Morrison received about $2,000 of free money – and all because she was able to lie well.

On April 8, Morrison claimed on a Facebook page, that her son had died and had been cremated.

They even held a memorial service for the boy.

The Carson City Sheriff’s Office then got a tip saying that the boy was very much alive – and according to police, he was also healthy.
