Ines Rocha befriended the mother of a cancer patient in her hometown in Portugal. She took pictures with the little boy, went on Facebook and claimed that he was her son, and then announced to her friends and followers that the boy had died.
The little boy’s mom was very upset because her son is very much alive.
Imagine her horror when she discovered that Ines had gone out and had a gravestone made with the little boy’s name on it. Ines placed the gravestone in a cemetery and took pictures with it. Police have removed the stone and Ines is now under investigation.

Thank you for all your comments updating us on Ines’ online activity. Since the last update I posted, Ines has pretended to have a teenager who committed suicide and a child who has heart issues. I’ll keep the comments section open so parents can update each other on any further information on Ines.
A news channel, CMTV, quoted and showed your site along with an interview with the real Rodrigo’s mother:

On the good news, the boy, accordingly to his mother, not only is alive as also overcame leukemia and is now recovering from the treatment. Congratulations for the IPO’s medical team and to the small and brave warrior. 🙂
