She said many of her neighbours had accused her of trying to exploit her daughter’s disability to solicit donations on the Facebook page Piore ZI. The fake story said the girl had been injured when her adopted father threw her against a wall, causing her severe head injuries. Nonglak said the post on the Piore ZI page was published on January 2 and widely shared, but removed after she filed a complaint with police. She said she and her husband were farmers and her daughter had been born disabled due to a genetic mutation that caused her head to grow unusually large. While the post about the girl has been removed, the Piore ZI Facebook page is still active with many people commenting that stories posted on the page are fake.
