Beware! It’s a Cyber World – Prayer Request for a 5-year-old Girl Harly A. Andrews Hit by a Car: Details

This is the latest prayer request message creeping up on social media networks, like Facebook, Twitter and many others, about a little girl Harly A Andrews, 5, who is in intensive care due to severe injuries she sustained after hitting by a car. The message further asks the recipients to repost the message on his/her wall so that the collective prayers can save Harly A Andrews miraculously.

For those who has came across such ‘prayer request’ hoaxes in the past it is like a ‘Reborn Hoax’ with just change of the name and description of accident which caused to send the child into intensive care. The latest we share here about a 5-year-old boy DiegoMendez who claimed to be sustained severe head injuries due to a TV fell on him.

In fact it is the latest of a growing list of equally unverifiable messages circulating on social media website pleading people to change their statuses in support for a chain prayer.

Like before in such cases; in this specific incident there’s no such credible information available that the incident described in the message bears any kind of reality. Moreover, the message itself didn’t mention that where actually this accident happened and no further details about the hospital are given. These facts making this specific message suspiciously a HOAX.




Therefore; as a final conclusion, it is not appropriate to spread any kind of such message which bears ambiguity and vagueness. One would think that it doesn’t cost him anything (in monetary terms) to re-post the message on his wall; but just think it can cost you your precious time and many others who follow you.
